Back when doing the washing was a an involved process.. had one of these years ago.. I still say a twin tub would clean really stubborn dirt better than an auto.
oh wow, they really are tough, but I still need to get my spinner sorted, soon hopefully as soon as the lockdown rules are relaxed more, then I can take it to my friends to be fixed.
l want to have one this wonderful machine, but ..You made the best choices to home here in Brasil it's impossible to buy one.You made the best things for home
I got Hoover link Washing machine ,its a year old but now its got a e09 code ,i cleaned filter and found 2 pound 65 p and a hair grip , is there a way to reset it do u think ,i know your a mastermind at fixing things .
I’m really annoyed with my Partner who got rid of my Hotpoint Super-matic... I’d only had it a short time - like new! I purchased one of the very last they manufactured from their Production Line (this identical Model) in 1998 - and when I moved in with my Partner, I left him to deal with everything in my previous home - he doesn’t even remember what happened to my Machine I could cry... I’m still, all these years on SO upset and heartbroken about it... I’d willingly pay £800 (more than double what I originally paid) for a a brand new or unused one (not used) if anyone could find one! Great Video - Thanks for uploading! x!
That’s such a shame. One recently came up on eBay, an earlier one late 70’s early 80’s. brand new in all original wrappers etc for under 150 quid. You really have to be at the right time right place to get one. I really hope you do.
I got a modern Thompson twin tub off Amazon last week its brilliant washes and spins a lot more than an automatic I'll only use my automatic for great big things xxxx
@@francisraffle2948 Me too! The Thompson Machine (for a modern Appliance) is VERY god and efficient. Juts missing a Heater.... I don't know if you managed to get one with the 'Waterfall' Action? They have also stopped doing tat feature now... Mine has it.
Awwww, it is a shame. It will be out again and back in use in the warmer weather as I use it in the utility room and keep the door open for space. I do enjoy using it. The spin is amazing!
I get you. They were designed more for convenience rather than effectiveness. My nan liked the auto-rinse because load 3 would be washing and load 2 rinsing, whilst she was begging the 3rd load on the line.
Dumb American here: what caused clothes washer like this design be the norm over in the UK? In the 1950s and 60s the US had the common blueprint for washers and dryers that are now used worldwide today. Perhaps was it space constraints or small washrooms? It is a unique way to wash clothes that seems quicker, but it also seems to wash less than an average top-loader made today.
Definitely space issues, millions of houses were built with tiny kitchens, millions of terraced houses and cottages had a front room and a back room which was the kitchen, then people built small extension kitchens etc, still no room for fitted kitchen and the like we see today. These were brilliant as they could be used as a worktop and then rolled out and used on washday. It’s only in recent years that kitchen here have become more Americanised and still millions of smaller new build houses don’t have utility rooms.
@@HooverLux I remember the hotpoint twintubs well my opinion was that they were far better than the hoover twintubs I found tangled the clothes my late mum never had a hotpoint twin tub but she did have a servis twin tub which was similar to the hot point two tubs

It is involved, but fun for me to use on occasions. I find the older detergents had to work harder and were, well, just more oomphy for stains
Lovely machines ,used to repair them in the mid 80's and 90's. Reliable and easy to work on.
Oh wow, that’s so cool. Having issues with the spinner clutch, was gonna get help and try to fix it this year, but that’s out the window now 😢
@@HooverLux I always struggled to get my spinner to work. its so temprimentle. so i eneded up selling it on as a project.
Hotpoint top loaders were the best washing machines ever, would give my eye teeth to be able to buy them now!
You can in some form, but unfortunately not a patch on these though. Have some more lovely videos of another coming up soon 🤗
That's just like my machine. I bought mine 2nd hand 30 years ago, and all I've replaced is a spinner seal, a hose and a few rubber spinner mats.
Oh wow! They’re like tanks! I have an issue with my heater dial, so this year I’m gonna have a crack at it and see what miracle i can perform 🤣
My Nan had one of these hot point twin tubs in the 80s she died in 99 but my mum used it untill 2004 really reliable machines
oh wow, they really are tough, but I still need to get my spinner sorted, soon hopefully as soon as the lockdown rules are relaxed more, then I can take it to my friends to be fixed.
Still use my Electra 78HPT 1465 a re-badged Hotpoint weekly, at least 45 years old & still works fine.
I love it when people tell me they’re still using their vintage stuff 🥰
l want to have one this wonderful machine, but ..You made the best choices to home
here in Brasil it's impossible to buy one.You made the best things for home
Glad you enjoyed the video, I have many of these twin tub videos 🤗
Brings back childhood memories
My mum says we had one for the 1st year of my life and she said the boil was amazing for the nappies back then.
Hotpoint they really have a good name for their machines.
They certainly used to, many companies have all their appliances rather far fetched names 🤣
Would love to see the auto rinse function
I don’t have this machine now, the new one is the model down from this and doesn’t have the auto rinse function.
great machine would love to own one for a bit of retro laundry kit
Look at the hot water. Do you use powder or liquid
I use powder in this as liquid is too foamy.
@@HooverLux I use powder . It's miles better than liquid
Is this video silent or have my speakers gone on the fritz again?
I checked the video and there is sound.
It’s lovely having a trip down memory lane...... however I would not trade my Miele washing machine for one of those lol
Me neither 🤣

Fantastic video. I have two of these machines. Thanks :)
Eean Wyatt-lees You're very welcome, keep tuned for another this weekend with a bit of commentary
had 1 of these given to me when i first moved into my house used it few times best washing i ever had wish i kept it n not given it away
Awwww, it is a shame. It will be out again and back in use in the warmer weather as I use it in the utility room and keep the door open for space. I do enjoy using it. The spin is amazing!

Definitely

Is your auto-rinse not working?
hotpointlil Yeah all good, just don't like using it tbh.
Do they still make these?
Not the same no, but there are modern plastic and smaller versions.
where can I get one
You just have to keep searching on eBay. Save a search is what I did.
Spinner takes TOO long to stop in my opinion. Mine used to stop within @4 secs of opening the lid
I’ve a newer one now with better brakes.
I wish i could find one for myself
I hope you do, or one similar.
HooverLux Restorations i might be getting a hotpoint Supermatic 1464 next week
could you do a cycle In bosch
I get you. They were designed more for convenience rather than effectiveness. My nan liked the auto-rinse because load 3 would be washing and load 2 rinsing, whilst she was begging the 3rd load on the line.
hotpointlil I did try it and it was fun to see it cascading like a fountain lol. I've got the hang of it a bit more now.
I would love the last evry model of twintub hoover made in the late 70s early 80s but mum and dad wont let m get a washing machine.
VacuumCleanerReviews It's a shame as they look amazing! Wish I had a time machine.

Люблю когда много пены!
I prefer Hoover, agitators ruin fabrics.
I agree, over time they can damage fabrics, but do clean well.
@@HooverLux I remember the hotpoint twintubs well my opinion was that they were far better than the hoover twintubs I found tangled the clothes my late mum never had a hotpoint twin tub but she did have a servis twin tub which was similar to the hot point two tubs
Drain is too slow.
Many earlier Hoover models had a much more powerful pump.
That spinner is not good😱
Do not wash your colored clothes in hot 🔥 water.
Oh no! Good thing they’re my clothes and this is just a video for fun and not a how to video, sweetie 😘
@@HooverLux i wash ALL my stuff in hot water because what is cold water cleaning??
