Hoover SuperJet Dishwasher

At this point am hoping Al has more pics of the Hoover SuperJet Dishwasher, I am just editing film footage of the Hotpoint BUT just after the wash filming we had a flood (talk about Pride before a Fall) which gave me a serious sense of humour failure knowing we had to move every single piece of kit to mop dry...ha ha - NOT !!

There was a good outcome though, the next words uttered where " Well That Settles It - the newbuild is having 4 inch standpipes and floor drains - Yup

The link is to a super thread that Paul (MatchboxPaul) produced a while ago and shows the timeline and info on the fabulous washing machines!![this post was last edited: 2/5/2017-06:29]

 
Hotpoint top loader

The condition is almost perfect and so little use !!!!
What a great collection of top loaders and looks brilliant with all its relatives next to it !!!!
What was the history of the machine ?? Clearly been looked after . Amazing find well done
 
Well Done

Mike & Al
That 1504 certainly does look like it hasn't had much use, there doesn't even seem to be any evidence of filter tray rubbing on the text inside the lid. What caused your flood? Was it just a drainage issue or did one of the hoses give way?

The Superjet looks fantastic, it would match very nicely with a Belling Classic 80 with the black oven door. Speaking of which, I see that the intertwined circles motif on the Superjet was pinched by Creda in the late 1970s to decorate the whole of the top oven door of the Carefree.

Ooops. Bombsite. Guilty as tried. Sorry. LOL!

Hotpoint, "30 years, a great run," indeed, Mike !

A Hotpoint Timeline !!!!! How cool, and now you have all your HP's in a row. Beautiful. Love that HI-vane short stroke ramp agitator. So envious and motivated, trying to collect Whirlpool Mark XII's. Great close-ups. Thank you!
 
Some quick responses for now

Car wash?

Cheeky bugger! Having just done a 360 mile round trip in drizzly weather on salted roads you would hardly expect it to be clean!

Louis, the dishwasher was manufactured by Zanussi (who also made Hoover refrigeration products) and was also marketed under the Rex name.

Ian, I was actually thinking of a Moffat Fiesta 24 to match the door, although thinking about it i do already have the Moffat built in ....

Mikeyd, thank you for the kind words, I never see a posting from you where I am not reminded of the stunning pictures you have posted of your wringer washers :)

Gansky1, will try and do some "money shots" tomorrow but for the moment here is a video of the very similar Autojet jet machine, also part of our collection :) I have not suggested to Mike (yet!!!!) that we take a buzzsaw to the door of one of them to install a window LOLOLOLOL

Hi Al and Mike.

Was difficult wiping the smile from my face when the new acquisitions were unveiled to me. Problem was I was at work and people started asking me what tickling me :-)

Really pleased that a 1504 now resides within the toploader timeline - just a couple more representatives required to essentially have all the styles that were produced. Love the 1504/1518 (the 1518 was simply an interlocked version of the 1504, with the peg on the lid) for their simple and smart styling and the fact that the neighbour opposite my childhood home had one. Cannot remember if it was interlocked or not but, upon it's withdrawal from service, it was put against the side wall of his garage to wait its fate, in full view from my bedroom window.

I too cannot get over how mechanically clean these machines are. Obviously used sparingly and well cared for.

p.s date code 34 is October 1972

Hotpoint UK Laundry History thread

Below is the link to the full, very picture heavy, history of Hotpoint Laundry from first toploader to final New Generation.
Shows how the toploaders were introdcuced - apologies that it may take a while to load into your computers.

and ....

.... to that uber smart looking Hoover 4809 (I think its a 4809, rather than a 4808)!
I am over the moon that one of these surfaced and will be great to see both models of this range alongside one another, the other being the 4805 Auto-jet.

Very classy black door - does anyone know if the audi-esqe rings have a meaning at all?

Apart from the advert image for the Super-Jet, there are only a couple of other image of the 4809 I have ever seen. The most recent find is courtesy of Ideal Home magazine and is attached below (the fridge and freezer are Philips).

Congrats on two superb new old acquisitions.
Paul
