Hoovermatic

Many thanks Ivan, you clearly show us how to use the Russian Hoovermatic, I realise now you cant wash and spin at the same time, the controls appear very sturdy.

The motor clutch is unique to your washing machine,at least you had wonderful colour on your machines.

You do realise you are going to have to explain what type of automatic washer and dryer is visible in the pictures as well...Lol
 
Russian Hoover

Washing machine does not have the water heater, and all electrical parts are double-insulated from the housing on the washing machine connects to the network without earth and it is safe.Compared with Hover think Siberia-3 was slowly stirred things. This is due to the fact that I wore out blankets for exhibits. Their size as a sheet or blanket. The manual says that the big things should be washed on one piece. Automatic washing machine, as seen in the video - it's LG.This washing machine was purchased in 2006. It is equipped with a direct drive, which is mounted directly on the wall of the tank.

Siberia

In 1964 he released a washing machine "Siberia-3M", the video you've seen before, it produced up to 1968, and in 1972, began to produce an improved model of "Siberia-5". "Siberia-5" was smaller and two electric motors, which allows the simultaneous washing and spin.This washing machine is equipped with two-hour relay to wash and spin. To drain the engine mounted centrifugal pump, and the distribution of flows is set self-regulating valve.Washing machine handles 2 kg of dry clothes in 37 liters of water. Activator is spinning at 550 revolutions per minute, and centrifuge at a speed of 2800 revolutions per minute.

Siberia in longitudinal section

This is a drawing of the instructions, if you look on the washing machine in the back. 10-drive motor pulsator, 11-drive motor centrifuge, 12-pump, 13-pass valve, 14-threaded connector for connecting the drain hose.

On the right side of the bottom is a niche for the network cables, and under it a threaded connection for the drain hose. In the washing tank installed removable bottom, which provides a form of washing tank, it's the fact that the tank, welded aluminum, is like a big bathtub, and in the middle welded wall separating it into two parts.

Washing machines

Hi Ivan, please dont get dis-hartened, there are many people reading this thread, you have over 1,700 views on it....although I must say a few more members asking questions and seeing how they interpret your washing machines would be useful but we will work with what we have.....and they will still be reading !!

Nice to see you have good reviews of the modern LG, are they dear to buy in terms of todays wages etc?

The Siberia twin tub looks interesting with its screw in drain hose, do I take it the spinning pulsator is at the front of the tub? and does the spin drier have a direct drive motor?
 
I have to agree!

I agree, Ivan! Your thread has been fantastic and very educational. It's also been extremely interesting! Thank you. I'm sorry I haven't posted anything, but I tend to almost never post. I read every thread every day, though. I stay on the sidelines and learn from all of these terrific people. I have learned SO MUCH here. And, I have learned from you in this thread...so thank you for that. Please know that many of us are very interested in what you have to say and hope you will continue posting.

Thank you all for your interest in my work) Yes, Siberia-5 has a pulsator on the front of the washing tank. In the Soviet washing machine direct drive centrifugal except washing machines "Nistru".Although there are several models in the late 50's, where it was used belt drive centrifugal (Wave, Tula-4, Dawn, Dawn-2).On all washing machines for direct drive of the centrifuge, since 1967, used motor type TAO-C, on the majority of machines were easy to repair, as they were the same engines.
 
Automatic washing machines are available and are quite within 10.000-25.000 rubles, although there are expensive options, such as Mille, which costs 40.000-60.000 rubles. LG has cost 14,000 rubles, but remember, it was in 2006, now cost a washing machine 11.000-13.000 rubles.But there are LG, model F1495BDS7, which costs 45,000 rubles. Salaries of different people can be 15,000 rubles, and perhaps 100,000 rubles, depending on the work. The average salary is kept at 30,000 rubles. A good washing machine, a middle option, costs about 15,000 rubles, on the big problems with the acquisition of the washing machine does not arise.
 
I said that the average salary is 30,000 rubles per month, not per year.This means that the salary of 50,000 rubles, you can afford to buy a washing machine for 15,000 rubles, and no great financial difficulties. People who get 15.000-30.000 rubles a month, or experiencing financial difficulties can use the credit, which can be processed at the store when it comes to buying home appliances.
 
Many, many followers

Ivan, your 'thread' has followers all over the world.....

I haven't posted anything yet, as I have nothing constructive to add, and do not wish to 'clutter' the thread with unimportant and / or uninformative posts..

Please keep up the Good Work.... :D :D

All best

Thank you very much for the kind words addressed to me. Very nice to realize that my work is not in vain and to whom the interest and satisfaction.
 
Washing machine "Siberia-5" released until 1979, and since 1983, the factory began to produce an improved model "Siberia-6", which had a more advanced technical design."Siberia-6" washes laundry in two modes: 1-normal (cotton, linen), 2 - Gentle (synthetics, wool). Centrifuge stops faster as in a washing machine has a block of electronic engine braking centrifuge, which is activated after switching off the timer and open the lid.In addition, it was decided, due to which was abolished removable bottom.

AEG Lavalux ЗВИ

Analog AEG washing machine, at least more similar in appearance, was a washing machine "Nistru", but washing tank it was the same as in "Siberia-3."Dimensions "Nistru" little more than the size of "ZVI", is seen in the photographs.

In Siberia-5 free end of the drain hose is inserted into the opening between the top of the lid. In Siberia-6, the drain hose is inserted into the free end of the rubber sleeve on the back. And in both cases the water is draining the washing tank.

Small washing machine.

In the late 80's based on one of the foreign small washing machines (Euronews), was developed washer-dryer "Elite".Washer erases 2 kg of dry clothes, after washing, drain the water, wring your hands and putting clothes in the drum of 1 kg of dry clothes include drying (drying produced a stream of hot air).This washing machine is manufactured at the "GAS", at the same factory producing car VOLGA.
