vintage manuals.
No problem, it would be great though if Hotpoint had manuals for the Liberators and Liberatoresques, also they should have some of the '83 New Generations like the 95622, 95452 etc.

Creda Concorde 17003...
Brandon, I agree with you there. Looks like Hotpoint got half the job done lol. For the rest of you guys, here's the picture of the "Creda Concorde" Model No: 17003. Thought it would be nice to add to the collection, thanks to Brandon for sharing the link with us! Kool Matt, so this was the machine you was describing to us?

Debonair
I often look through the old Hotpoint & Hoover online old User manuals, it makes for great bedtime reading material plus that Creda 11800 has the classic rhythm spin too.

classic rhythm spin
what was the "classic rhythm spin" was it like the old hotpoints?
Actually, I've wondered, did the old Electra machines, such as the ones Electron1100 posted (Electronic Deluxe 1200) did they spin like the hotpoint 95XX series? And with the same start up sound (that "woooorrrrraaaaah") sound.
Sorry if I sound a little off my head describing the Hotpoint spin sound!

Rhythm spin
It's really very hard to explain because it had a unique spin start up sound unlike any other washer that i've ever heard before. I must have been about six years of age when our mam & dad purchased it from our local Norweb electric shop & that sound is as clear today in my head as it was from all them years back, put it this way our neighbours always knew when our Ti Creda washer was on.

Creda De luxe's
This has probably been noted out before, but I seem to notice that those old Creda/Electra square-doors look like Hoover Electrons like the A3350!
Wow, was it really that loud? Must've been like when my Hotpoint Ultima Extra WMA64 would spin at 1400RPM (top speed) with a dangerously unbalanced load!

i know what you mean about the old hotpoints when they set off spinning,i can still hear it now,
we had an 800 spin Hotpoint from 1986-95,cant remember the model,
I can still hear the sound of my Nanna G's Electra 11500 when it started to drain and distribute,i used to be facsinated by the fact that it spun anti clockwise,and a chrome door compared the chunky door of our hottie,
my nan used to say i was washer mad,i'd always be sat at the kitchen table when i went to visit if the washer was on,
And now i'm gonna shut up,cos all this reminiscing about my Nan is getting me a bit choked up.

Hi Neil! Yeah! That sound was the best washer sound ever, that was like me, I usually would go to my nans to chat, but instead would end up sitting on a chair in front of her 9517! Wish she never got rid of it, well my Dad gave it to one of his army mates and it got replaced by my old First Edition WM51!
Sorry to ask this, but did your nan pass away? Sorry, i don't mean anything bad, it's just my Grandad passed away as well, about 2 1/2 months ago. (R.I.P) X.
Anyway, I've never seen an Electra 11500, would love to see one, especially in action, and maybe a Creda Concorde, SupaSpeed and all sorts of others and a Hotpoint 95452/95450!
Thanks! And take care Neil!

Hey Brandon, the photo in reply 12 is the Electra 11500 with the black/silver facia and orange buttons,
And yeah,my Nanna G passed away 3 years ago,it doesn't feel like it 3 years,it was a lively household back in the day,and some great memories!! if only the walls could talk eh lol,
Seeing pics of the electra takes me right back to my childhood,
My Nanna B used to babysit us on an occasional saturday night and she used to have a washload ready for when i got there,Everytime i hear the casualty theme tune i can picture her Hoover Electronic 1100 and smell the Surf automatic she always used,
it's funny how things like that can trigger off things from your past
Sorry to hear about your Grandad's passing

Now, I've not seen one of these in YEARS!! We had one from 93-95. Horrid machine. Constant repairs, poorly built, loud. Mum got sick of it after 2 years and went back to Zanussi.

Creda
Well hass,
Thanks for starting this Creda thread. Without a doubt Creda was & still is a very much loved & trusted favorite UK brand name especially for Tumble dryers, Washers & Cookers & Creda Plan Built in Ovens & Hobs. Shame on you Indesit Company for dropping such a well known UK brand name.

Creda Concorde...
Hey all, nice to see this thread is still going and sharing your stories. Sorry to hear about you losing your Nan and granddad Neil, Brandon, and nice to hear you have some fond memories.
To my memory Hotpoint washers, were always loud whilst spinning and generically loud machines. Optima, it's a pleasure mate, it's certainly been a learning curve for some of us. And who knows guys maybe one day we'll all get to see the Creda Concorde in action, as well as others.

Creda
My nan had one of them in reply 17 minus the 3rd dial, she put it in the garage when she moved house in late 1989, because a Hotpoint 95630 came with the house. I believe that the Creda was 1000 spin instead of 1100.
The Creda at this point was leant to one of my uncles which was a few years before a Hoover Ecologic was purchased to replace it. The Creda went back to nans.
By 1996 the Creda was again at the same uncles, the Logic had broken, repairman not come out at this point, the Hotpoint 95630 popped its clogs, so my nan bought her Hotpoint WM41 Microprofile.
My uncle gave my nan back her Creda, which was put in the garage where it stood, plumbed in, for times when there was lots of bedding, perhaps relatives where staying, or when all the house bedding was being changed. Between our Hotpoint and Hoover we went a few times to use it for our washing.
When the Hotpoint WM41 died in late December 2009, the Creda went in the kitchen for two weeks over the Christmas holidays, until a new machine was purchased after the holidays. In that time several relatives (my nan has six children!) came and stayed overnight, so the Creda was running for quite a bit.
On the 10th of January 2010 the Bosch Maxx 5 1400 WAA28161GB/07 was purchased. The Creda then remained in the kitchen for a week, waiting for its fate, I wouldn't have let it go if it would have been scrapped. But I needn't have worried, as my cousin got it for his first house, which is working for him well now up in Aberdeen.
When I had my Dyson CR01 briefly I leant it to my nan for when I changed the seal on the Bosch (was clogged up with liquitab gunk), but it went to the local appliance shop which I got £200 for the Dyson.
She now has just the Bosch, no spare.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading.

Hi Neil, it's ok, to me though, it feels longer than 2 1/2 months for my Grandad.
Funny, you saying about things triggering off things from the past, when i'm at my nan's house sometimes I still think I can hear the sound of her 9517 or an old Hotpoint 95,97, 99 series washer or 18 series launching into spin, I can remember when she lived in her old house, I never wanted to go to the bathroom alone when it was on, because I can remember, my nan always washed bedding and towels together, but with an uneven number of towels and I can remember the "sinister" sound of it unbalanced on distribute and the way the machine would slightly move left and right and then it didn't jump like a normal washer, it would jump like 10 feet forwards and those houses were only built for top-loading washers. But I miss it so much, I still remember the day it was washing 2 body towels, and it was just about to distrbute, and I turned the timer knob to the "800" portion and my god, I rmemeber how much it jumped out, and it tore the lino as well, but my nan and grandad never minded me doing that! Anyway enough me rambling on!
Brandon.
Would love to have seen an Electra 11500!

when my mum and dad first bought the hotpoint,i used to run upstairs and hide in my room before it spun,the sound frightened me to death at 6 years old,but both my nan's washers never bothered me,i could sit infront of the electra and the hoover but i wouldn't go near the kitchen when the hotpoint was on at home,i did get used to it though,must have been because it was new and i wasn't used to the sound of the spinner lol

Hi Neil! I was so like you when I was about 4, when my nan lived in Kensington, the house she lived in wasn't really built for front-loading washers, so she had a Hotpoint Electronic 800 Plus 9517W (probably mentioned it before), but her being herself, always washed towels and bathmats, but when the machine would distribute, the items would cling to one side of the drum and I could tell you, the sound of the unbalanced loads distributing was sinister! And I can still remember the sound of the machine jumping into spin, I would always run into the bedroom and hide under the covers and I can remember when I hid, and the machine would spin, the loud THUD of the machine jumping about 5 feet across the bathroom, but I eventually got used to it, I mean, I still was a bit scared of the spin sound, but I loved the bit when it would zoom straight up to 800/1000 (depending on model) and how violently the washer would vibrate and sudslock!
