The other side of this large fold-out brochure is a tableau of all of the available models, by themselves and in pairs in white and in Hotpoint "Colortones". There's also a pretty 1950's housewife holding a basket of flowers and a feature-chart breakdown for the washers and dryers. If anyone's interested I'll scan and post it.

Gosh, this is great. Would you mind? I know what a pain scanning big things can be, but this is just wonderful. Hotpoint was once a quality brand...

all these years without WONDERINSE???
WOW

Wonder Rinse!!!

Hi Ken, Now thats a "Hotpernt Beauty" if ever I saw one,

Where/How do you fill the WonderRinse,and those Calrod Elements on the dryer look like they are on the outside of the drum?? do they turn with the drum ??

I would love to see the other scans, Many thanks for showing them ,

Cheers, Mike

Thanks for posting this!! I wonder if Wonder-rinse was only available from your Hotpoint Dealer?

Very cool brochure!

What year is this model? I'm guessing a 1958 which I think is the first year Hotpoint did away with the spider clutch tranny design.
Am I correct, Robert?

Re: Please Post:

My Parent's had probably a "MOL" Model Washer and I would like very much to see the other Models, to see if your Literature has their Model in it as well, thank you.

Peace and Great Laundry Times with Hotpoint, Steve

Wow Wonderinse

Let me guess, refills of Wonderinse were only available at the Hotpoint dealer?

 

[alr2903]

I love, love, love all the vintage brochures being posted lately. Thanks!! I, too, have to ask: How did I go all my life without hearing about der Vonder-rinsen?

 

[kenwashesmonday]

Wonderful scans! Thank you!

Notice the model number?

It's an "LK25", certainly a designation that one might find appropriate to a TOL machine, but maybe not from Hotpoint!

Great brochure!

Hi Ken,
Thank you so much for scanning this brochure. I love reading this type of information.
Best Wishes

...and please people, in the future, please be mindful of using the correct terms when talking about these machines. The cleaning action is achieved by means of a rubber-finned *Aquatator*!

If I am not completely mistaken, and I often am these days, the little red H emblem on the control panel pulled out and behind it was a trough. You poured the stuff in there and that routed the pink stuff to the reservoir. Wonderinse fluid looks a lot like Sta Puf in that first generation of undiluted fabric softeners. You would not need to use softener in that water dryer, except maybe for synthetics, but even with synthetics, static electricity was not much of a problem.

 

[jamiel]

So there was actually a Wonderinse fluid?

 

[mobilemaid]

I have never heard of this "Wonder-rinse" model. Does anyone know what years it was made and sold?

 

[whirlcool]

And for how long did Hotpoint offer the Wonder Rinse formula?

 

[toggleswitch]

If I were to put a chicken in that there dryer, would it com

oooooh and a condenser dryer with cal-rod units! And a sediment ejector! YAY
