neighbours

Lol, yeah imagine *knock on door* *opens door to find furious next door neighbour* "Hi can I help you?" Neighbour- "I have been trying to sleep, and all I can hear is the sound of your Hotpoint 95622 when it ramps up to spin, please don't use it so often!" Me- "well, it's a classic machine, and 2nd I have to do my laundry!"

Lol, can you imagine if someone complained and actually said that!?
 
Lol, it would be funny if that really happened in the neighbourhood, or the new law was that anyone with a Hotpoint 95, 97, 99 or 18 series washing machine are not allowed to use their machines past 22:00, but those with Hoover Visions, LG Direct Drives and Zanussi Electrolux washing machines are allowed to use them past 22:00!

I would do anything to have a Hotpoint Liberator, Microtronic X2000 or an Inglis front loader in my kitchen!
 
Creda Based Dedietrich 1150 Washer Dryer

Hi,

I noticed this thread, & thought I'd share some pics of my Aunt's Dedietrich 1150 Washer Dryer.

Having looked at some of the pics posted above, it looks like this Dedietrich Washer Dryer was either based off, or created by Creda, but badged Dedietrich.

I've no idea of the actual model number. It looks very much like the dryer Electron1100 posted above.

Pics

I apologize for the slightly burry pics, I took them in a hurry.

My Aunt's got two of these Dedietrich Washer Dryers, one of them leaked it's drum of a rinse cycle's water contents onto the kitchen floor. It's many years ago when this occurred, I remember the agitation style, but not the spin dry phase, or the drying agitation style.

A close up of the drum interior.

Hotpoint.

Hotpoint, Creda, Electra etal are all Hotpoint machines made in the same factory in Wales ( now gone! ) I Was there on a day trip from school some 30 odd years ago.
 
I thought Creda was part of Jackson/Tube Investments all those years ago before Hotpoint started making their machines,Hence the Creda style drum and the chrome doors

Hotpoint Factory

In October 2008, my uncle actually drove up to the Hotpoint Factory as he lives in Rhyl, which is a few miles from Kinmel Park, where Hotpoint used to be, and sadly they wouldn't let me in, even after telling them i was crazy over washing machines, however, somthing did catch my eye in the showroom.

Basically it must've been either a Hotpoint WD63, WD61 or WM64, but it was in Satin Aluminium, have Hotpoint ever sold any of those models (Aquarius) in Satin Aluminium? I know the WD73 was sold in Satin Aluminium, but I don't know of any of the other machines.....

I'm not going to hijack the thread, but if anyone has any information on that, please let me know, may have been a prototype....

Satin aluminium

Well yes most of the high end WM6 Aquarius & the Ultima WM7 series machines were available in the satin aluminimum colours. Not really a colour that i like much, it's on the Indesit silver range also on the Hotpoint RFA52S & CA55S Silver Fridge Freezers.
 
Hi Hass! Yeah, just that I didn't want the subject to suddenly change from the thread topic, :)

Optima, I think the WDM73 is availabe in satin aluminum, but as for the WM6X range, never seen that before, wonder if any First Edition's were available in that? Probably not. lol

From your picture, I'm guessing that's a Hotpoint WM12 or WM31? I might be wrong.

Creda Style Electra Electronic De Luxe

The washer in Reply 13, does that machine spin the same way as old Hotpoints, it sounds like they spin like the Hotpoint 18580 and 18680, I know that Creda have a model exactly the same, there was a video on YouTube, can't remember who it was by, but in the video was a Hotpoint Aquarius WD64 and a Creda SupaSpeed, I think it was a 17029, can't seem to find it as the video name was a load of random numbers.

but if anyone knows the spin sequence/style of that Electra, please let me know

Brandon.
 
Brandon...

Well if your referring to a machine, which may be similar to "Creda or Electra" then thats ok. Long as we don't steer away from the intended subject :)

BTW, forgot to say thanks for sharing the pics with us CJ. Not heard or seen these machines before, and has some Creda/Electra elements doesn't it.
 
Creda UK

Was a stand alone company from the 1930`s making cookers and fires at their Blythe Bridge factory in Staffs, then introduded the "First and Best" spin dryer in the UK, The Creda Debonair in the 1950`s, then following the famous Reversomat tumble dryers in the 1960`s and then front loading washing machines in the 1970`s, it was one of the best Laundry Companies we had until they merged with Hotpoint in the 1990`s...

Here is the first generation of washing machines and styles, (courtesy of "The Library of Paul") the square door was introduced before Hoover started using it!!

The Creda dryers (especially the compact models) were very popular overhere. The washing machines however never made it to the Netherlands, except for one demonstration model at the electricity company. They had a series 3 washing machine on display with a matching dryer. I never, ever saw a Creda washing machine in a store here though. I wondered why the electricity company got one. I have to add that I never saw a series 3 dryer in a store here either.
 
Creda Concorde

Wow, that Creda 17003 is a really nice machine!

Optima, I love the WM22, especially in Spring Almond! Does that machine have an Unbalanced Load Protection System? I've always wondered what was the 1st machine Hotpoint added a ULPS (Unbalanced Load Protection System) on?

The same goes for Creda and Electra. I wonder if anyone on this site has one of those square door Creda/Electras? Would be great if someone did!

Mike, love your 11500, and your A3008, 1842 and many more! Nice to see that some classic washers are in good hands!

WM22 Aquarius

Brandon,

My WM22 washer must have been one of the first machines out of the factory because basically it works just like a 95 series washer but with a few differences, it has the old style timer & module without the balance control yet some WM22's had the microprocessor controlled timers.
 
Mike...

What a fantastic insight to the Creda History, thanks for sharing the info and pics with us! And to find out that Creda were a reliable brand for it's day is pleasing to hear, (well before they merged with Hotpoint)
