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!

Notice that

The lettering had moved to under the buttons by 91- guess the wearing/fading was a problem?

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)
