A Hotpoint that I've never seen...

Hey, that looks like a cool machine. Doesn't really even look old.

That is a VERY RARE Hotpoint Twin 6, the cheaper version of the 1400, not very many of these produced, amazing to see one in showroom condition.

That's a very nice piece of '60s industrial design, so clean and elegant, too bad they're rare.

What A Beautiful Machine

Such clean lines and all. Looks almost brand new as well.

For a pound or two I'd bid as well if on that side of the pond.

I'm guessing it doesn't have a heater (although someone has asked the question of the seller and they have suggest otherwise), the spinner starts by pulling the lid over and the agi starts by switching to either of the 'On' positions with the usual recirculation, which takes care of emptying the tub. That's about it I guess. Am thinking it doesn't come with a user manual!!

Heater Twin 6

Dont think this model did (Oh Keith?) it also has the spin drain outlet also into the wash tub so for suds return you simply let it pump back in , for rinsing you plug the fill hose into the LHS outlet, to drain the washtub you plug the hose into the RHS outlet which seems a bit of A faff having the hose plugged in all the time!!

Just goes to show whats out there, but big prices, pristine condition and not much used can never be an indicator that it wont need replacement this that and the other as we all know!!
