unusual Hoover Top loader washer in UK

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Hi Richard it's a haxis washer and if I remember correctly it was made by Zanussi and had the hoover badge but on it.

Thank god its visually a bit of a disaster.....

cause otherwise it would cause me to be more stressed than i already am (what with the subject of another thread in this forum!).

This machine is the Hoover A1094 Topline and was introduced circa 1980, as the toploader offering as part of the 'Smoother Hoover' series of machines - A3108/10/12/14/66 & 70.

Unusual machine and have never seen one before, apart from in brochures. A rare machine.

Wish it was nearer me!

Shame if no one saves it, but I guess none of us has infinite storage space! Doesn't look that bad from the piccies but then we can't see most of the cabinet...

Just up the road from me, about 50 miles. I think I would be shot if any more machines find there way into the garage.

EVVIVA!

A carica dall'alto!
That's what I mean when I say "a carica dall'alto" which means top loading!
It's very similar to my latest acquisition, the Castor C488A in the picture below

Hoover : maybe outsourced from Brandt rather than Zanussi

Compare Diomede's Castor (discontinued Zanussi brand) with the Hoover.
Drain pump lids are in opposite sides, also handles of top lids are different

Also compare these 2 AEG toploaders (AEG has never had its own toploader production line)
The Lavamat 565 (left) is a Zanussi make, while the Lavamat 86 is no doubt a Brandt machine, cause the combo (Lavamat 2086) has the same design and the very only manufacturer that has ever made toploading combos is Brandt

[sorry for the low quality shot]

Nice purchase Mike, I would be intersted to see the before and after pictures, make sure you post them here!
 
I also think this Hoover was made by Brandt rather than Zanussi. I remember that the italian Sangiorgio (Brandt group) was just like this hoover. And if you look closer, inside the opening (print ad) you can see two colored compartments (blu & jellow) one for the softener and one for the bleach. Brandt machines were made like this. I don't remember any Zanussi washer made this way.
Anyway, nice find!

Intreresting the 565

has got a leftside filter porthole!

Yes, my Castor seems real a Zanussi like it isnt' the Hoover... which is more similar to a Sangiorgio... you're right :)
 
Hoovers

Update guys is the Oovvaaa has been delivered to the "Spa of Neil" whereupon I was phoned by the paintsprayer manager who uttered a long list of expletives along the lines of "A little paint job!!! you`ve gorra be fexxxxx kiddin me" ....so I took that as he was fine with it!!! lol

From the photos in the brochure, the laminate worktop and metal surround is missing but am sure we can fix that along with the paint jobby

Diomede, yes it does look very similar, especially the top although as you say the pump is opposite sides.

Al, I had a Phillips Whirlpool toploader in 1993, 1100 spin the one with the dark grey flip up control panel, vario time temp & spin, had it in a small hallway cupboard with phillips D153 dryer above it, fab combination!!!

Bertrum, yes pics have been taken, the paintshop manager wants "All" the world to know just what had to be done..!!

Gorenje & Favorit, the label says "Made in France" so I guess that its a Brandt etc...will take some inside pics this weekend and post!!
