hey matthew,
Welcome to the club! Square door hoovers are some of my favourite in history, My first ever machine i collected and still own is my A3632 hoover logic 1300! Its a gem and performed my daily washing in my shed and then into the garage for 3years. unfortunately shes unwell atm and im really unsure of wot im going to do with it!

And i also own its younger sibling the newwave which is also one of my fav machines!

I hope u enjoy this place as much as i do!

love those electricity board models, and that ecologic is lovely! Its such a shame that the white versions of the logics and ecologics yellow so much. My ecologic is more yellowed than any of the machines on this thread and the writing is wearing off the dispenser draw badly =[. I think they look much nicer in dark colours anyway, bring back beige and almond i say! Should have pics of mine by Sunday.
 
i love the hoover logics and ecologics. my nana had the hoover logic a3630 1200 spin, myself and my nana loved it, but it was always breaking down, just 2 days after she bought it something went wrong and eventually after about 10 breakdowns my nana gave up on it after it started to flood her kitchen, it wouldn't stop filling up with water so she bined it and got a candy sprint 1000 spin and its 6 years old with no breakdowns yet but still it will never be better than the logic.
 
All handsome beasties!

Even though pre-1980 machines are more my interest, all these Hoovers look like proper quality machines, and I love those rinses. Can someone tell me if Logics and Ecologics were produced side by side or if the Eco- versions were a later range? I presume water consumption was the primary difference?

Mark, I'm guessing the extra dial on the Energy Control is a timer to let it run on cheap rate power? Seamus, when'd you get your Logic?

Logics/Ecologics

Hey Si

The 1st service manual I have that mentions the Eco range is 1993 and gives the Logic production dates as 86-91 so id guess the Ecologic came along in 92ish.

The difference was the Ecologic had a new drum/paddle design and water consumption was cut from 134L to 99L(thats the figure for the wash programme of the Ecologic washer dryer)

Ive had the A3636 about a year- it was rescued from the scrap pile and works perfectly!! :)

Dating Hoovers.....

Just in case anyone didnt know..

The 1st number after the model is the year(you need to know the decade but thats easy to figure)

The next 2 numbers are the month.

This works for any UK/Euro Hoover appliance from 1967- 1995(ish)

Hi Seamus.

Ecologics started being produced in 1991 as the ecologic I had definately was a 1991 model. Also in the 1992 service product data book it mentions ecologic wiring diagrams etc are in another book. The 1992 data book was produced in 1991 ready for 1st Jan 92.

It was quite nice to have one of the last Logics as this was also produced in 1991 but alas it had just too many issues which would have cost to much to put right so it had to go. I do miss it as I loved how it went straight up to 800rpm on the final spin rather than 500/800/1200. Also I liked the rinse times being a lot shorter but still effective. The 3060 has very long rinse times which can sometimes be a bit annoying but I forgive it!

Hi Simon

Yes you are correct. The seperate dial is a delay timer enabling you to set it to come on overnight to make use of economy 7 electricity. But we all know its not a good idea to run electrical appliances whilst tucked up in bed or not in the house.
