Which Magazine January 1979

[robm]

Hello all

I'm glad you all liked the scans. They are fiddly like Mike says but well worth it if you have a moment.

I notice the article speaks well of the Hirundo. I have seen them mentioned on here before. Someone posted some brochures in Italian. Basically Indesit as Louis says. I just wonder how they differ mechanically from the slow spin versions.

I always thought Creda was the fore-runner of the 1980s Hoovers. Like Mike says the doors were very similar. One big difference I remember was the glass window which was much slimmer on the Hoover machines. I remember my Nan's neighbour having the 10500 and it was a great machine with fantastic almost spaceship noises.

Hi Interesting, Hirundo I saw some years ago was also on Radios and TV's. Indesit as it was then went into the Audio Market Like Zanussi but it failed and pulled out in the early to mid 1980's. Hirundo was an upmarket brand of Indesit which did not last long and dissappeared quietly. Indesit has come back with a vengence since the merger with Merloni in the late 1980's. I did prefer the old crown symbol of Indesit which was replaced by the diamond symbol in 1981 then the current one some time in 2000.
