The Hoovermatic you have is a model 3174, it went on sale in 1957 and was replaced by model 3334 in 1961/1962. My mum had a Hoovermatic 3174 which came from the Hoover staff shop as my dad worked for them.

I love that story, thanks for sharing. It’s fun to use these on occasions 🤣

[@michaelbutcher3563]

This was the machine we had at home for the first twenty two years of my life. My mother wouldn't change it for the world. It even was still working when she was forced to upgrade it on the premise that you couldn't get spares for it. My mother hated front loaders and had heard stories of water pouring out of them. But we got one in the end. Bet you're glad you've got your hands on this one ay

[@HooverLux]

It’s fun to use, but having to use this day in day out for all my laundry, I’d lose my head! I’m so glad for modern machines.

[@BURP39R]

Evokes all the memories. The sound is now my go to asmr. Thank you. Dear Lord that drums a noise! Strange actually, never seen one with the control panel below the spinner. Always above the wash tub.

[@HooverLux]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@antjuanwhite7105]

I love the wash action on this machine. I wish I could get my hands on one of those here in the US. I think it would be fun to use.

[@HooverLux]

Maybe one day!, you’d love it 🤣

[@anthonylawrence60]

My mum always preferred the Hoover twin tub to any other .Its just a shame the spin dryer wasn't a bit better

[@HooverLux]

I know what u mean about the spinner, I prefer the one on my Hotpoint.

[@sillysid123]

Wooooow.

[@HooverLux]

Thanks man

[@andrewclarke3622]

These machines are fascinating. How long did it take to heat? Is the heater manual or automatic?

[@HooverLux]

It took around 30 mins to get to 60. It’s a manual heater bu the dial on the front

[@andrewclarke3622]

Thanks. I have seen other videos of this machine. Unlike ours here in the US don't heat their own water. These vintage machines are fun to watch!

[@hibtl8510]

also, i highly reccomend removing the spinarinse suppressor, mine went BOOM

[@HooverLux]

Ok, that’s good to know. Thanks 👍

[@troygoodacre2718]

Hi I’ve just bought a Hotpoint countess washing machine with a wringer attached it hasn’t been used for a while but has been kept in doors in the kitchen and from the pictures looks in great condition it was being sold by a relative of the old person who lived there so they don’t know anything about it, I’m picking it up Friday , do you know if there is anywhere to get parts if it needs anything

[@HooverLux]

What an amazing find! You’ll have so much fun with it. In regards to replacement parts I don’t know off hand, but eBay and the like are the best bet for parts or maybe going some old washer forum etc? Please keep me up to date with how you’re getting on with it.

[@troygoodacre2718]

@@HooverLux hi I picked up the hotpoint countess today and I have just tested it. Everything works. Is there any sort of maintenance oiling or greasing they need. I’ve even got the instruction book

[@hibtl8510]

just a thought , could you de a hoovermatic vs supermatic with your hotpoint supermatic , just a thing for the future

[@HooverLux]

That’s a good idea 🥰

[@petersmith9785]

Is this Hoover a British model or an Australian model?? Looks really good!!

[@HooverLux]

A British one, made in Merthyr Tydfil

[@YourHeroML]

How many rpm is centrifugal?

[@HooverLux]

In the ink it’s about 1500?

[@jurgensduplessis1964]

What is the spin speed of the twin tub

[@HooverLux]

I think these are around 1800? I really can’t remember tbh

[@stephenchecksfield632]

​@@HooverLuxI think from memory it is 2800 rpm the spin can speed

[@stephenchecksfield632]

@@HooverLux it was also 3100 rpm for the Hotpoint twin tubs for the spin speed

[@hibtl8510]

also this one is a late 50s model

[@HooverLux]

Ahhh, earlier than I thought. Thanks for the information 🥰

[@hibtl8510]

is this a keeper, PLEASE KEEP HER she is absoluteley gorgous, i have a 1334 hoovermatic called peggy sue

[@HooverLux]

I love the name. Glad you enjoyed the vid, I have a little more work to do on her and I will do another video soon 😋

[@hibtl8510]

@@HooverLux thanks, and yours is a fantastic machine , the best twin tubs , in my opinion that is

[@anthonylawrence60]

the cleaning is done by the water being forced thorough the clothes by the pulsator not by the revolving action so no reverse needed

[@HooverLux]

I wish it did have reverse to stop the tangling.

[@unclenolly3207]

41:00. That’s better 😁

[@HooverLux]

So much better now

[@HooverLux]

I do need to fix another leak, vid coming soon 🥰

[@unclenolly3207]

@@HooverLux oh goodie 😁. I mean that there’s another video, not that you’ve got to repair another leak! 😜
