Nick what was the difference Hotpoint Ultima you had in 2004 and the Hotpoint 18580. What was the model number of your Hotpoint from 2004 as I'm interested in which Hotpoint Ultima you had as I'm wondering about it? Could you describe your old Ultima to me? I'm guessing it was a WF860/WF865 or the last WMA series Ultima. Did it do the powerstream? And I really like your Zanussi videos and wondering if you could upload something as you've not uploaded in 10 years.

Hotpoint 18-- series

Hi Janak, hope all is good with you, I dont think Nick is around much so you may not get a response from him, (would be great to see him posting again) as this thread is many years old - however its great we can now pull up older threads in order to build on them as for instance quite a few other 1800 series Hotpoints have now come out of the woodwork...

The difference between the 1800 series (wrap around cabinets) and the later 95 series is vast, they built a brand new state of the art factory for this completely different built machine, motor still on top but now boasting plastic drums and LCD electronics and better electronic motor controls...

Here is a picture of my later 18680 with matching dryer, am just about to move it over to the new washer room and be placed next to the purple amerthyst matched set...

Hotpoint Through The Ages

From the Hotpoint Empress wringer washer of the 1950`s, the Light & Easy vac of the 60`s, the Purple Bronze & Brown Hotpoint Liberators of the 1970`s to the latest Hotpoint New Generation series of the 1980`s....."Hotpoint Serving Generations !!

Hotpoint 1800 series

And here is the last incarnation of this series, the Hotpoint 1842 in a rich brown colourway which was produced in 1981 as an exclusive for Currys UK Electrical Superstore. a few months later the "Next Generation" series by Hotpoint would be launched built in a state of the art new factory near the old one in North Wales.

Got to love the 18 series. As I've mentioned (just a few times, not repeating myself...COUGH AHEM!) my Grandma had a 18371 and matching dryer for many years whilst I was growing up. I used to love watching that machine. In many ways, I would say the 18 series were better than the new gen's, although the latter are certainly more of an 80's style icon in the same way the Liberator's are to the 70's.

Everyone

Reason why I was asking about Nicks old Ultima was because I was wondering which Ultima he owned in 2004 before he bought his Zanussi so could u help me guess which Ultima it was as I'm interested in these Hotpoints and the model number
