The Hotpoint WM12 has a new partner - Hotpoint TL21

[aquarius8000]

So here is my new full size dryer. Scince I let go of my Whight Knigt, 5 washers and 1 dryer just not enough. So it's going to be put in the shed on Satturday as I have a lot on my plate at the moment. Here are some photos.

P.s Glenfeildmathk1, the drum is metal, steel.

TL21

A very nice Reversomatic Chris, now that would look good side by side against my WM22A shame it's not an almond one.

 

[supermaticjames]

That's a blast from the past!

Mum had the next model up (Reversomatic De Luxe TL22) in almond. I used to turn on the buzzer which Mum found annoying. I really do need a proper dryer but I have to get the models I like first. Washer hunting tomorrow anyways.

What a pair! The glossy finish sure has cleaned up well!

What on earth is in the WM12 though?

Terrific dryer - I have the same model, twinned with its matching partner the WM25, great machines, they have been my daily drivers since 1997

Hi Grant

Nice to see someone else with one too and your set are awsome. WM25+TL21 both look mint!

 

[mcduffpth]

Cheers Chris

Yes they are well looked after. Pic is a bit fuzzy, will upload a few more.

 

[zanussi_lover]

Wow

They look brand new mcduffpth, they dont look like they are from 1997, these were the last round door models Hotpoint made before the hexagonal doors came in.

Merloni took over Hotpoint in 2001.

WM25 + TL21

A few more pics, hopefully a bit clearer this time... Pic of WM25 door shows scratched glass through years of gruelling work, looking to get a replacement glass bowl to smarten it up again...

How often have your bearings/brushes lasted in your washing machine?
Looks in very good condition.
Looks modern too, shame they don't make them any more.

 

[mcduffpth]

WM25 + TL21

Still original bearings in WM25 although there is now a noticeable rumble when spinning so I think a bearing change will be on the cards quite soon. It's quite a brush-hungry machine and has had many brush changes through the years. Had new commutator and brushes fitted a few months ago.

Hi Grant

Those look absolutly stunning! Thanks for the photos.My TL21 does a few towels in just 40 mins on high wether as my old dryer(White Knight compact) took absolutle ages and its more effeciant according to the meter. I think its a D and so was the previous dryer was but probbabtly moer eco effeciant as it dries more. the dryer for the house is a zanussi TC481 dryer bought new in 1999and a Hotpoint WT960P wich isnt particularly great(could do with a new door seal) .Please try both your machines keep them both going as they are the best hotpoints ever. BTW do see my vids of it - on Youtube. see the link.

Hotpoint Matching Sets

Welcome to the club Grant, those are a stunning pair of original Hotpoints, and look even better as a matched set...Had forgotten how shiny the fascias where after years of matt brown!!

Heres the spec sheet to compare:

 

[zanussi_lover]

Notice at the bottom

they say Hotpoint Recommends Persil and Comfort in its machines

Shame that Hotpoint now recommend Ariel.

 

[mcduffpth]

Hotpoint matching sets

Thanks <a></a>for that Mike - it was the shiny facias that attracted me to them when I bought them all those years ago, lol.

 

Thats an impressive list of machines you have there

 

Cheers

Grant

Notice at the bottom

I've never really been a fan of Ariel or Persil - my mother always used Ariel in her twin tub when I was a child  - Daz is my choice when it comes to getting my whites white, nothing else gets my uniform shirts as clean and a lovely smell too
