As the title suggest this a petition to make Hotpoint sit up and realise that one of the worst decisions they ever made was to halt production of their Supermatic range of Twintub washing machines.
As a life long user of these machines (I'm only 28) I can tell you now that they are not outdated and in fact can fit into modern life style.
Most of us these days when buying a washing machine look for cost, energy efficiency, load size, spin speed and finally looks.
Most people, Hotpoint included, are of the opinion that a Twintub is not energy efficient on use of electricity and water. From my own research and experience I can honestly tell you that is not true.
On my standard electric tariff and standard metered water tariff, my Hotpoint Supermatic Deluxe 9410W uses only 5p per hour (including heating up the water to 95'c) and takes me no more than 3.5 hours to wash/spin/rinse/spin 8 7kg loads of laundry.
Compare this to my AAA rated Automatic washing machine (as a standby incase of dire emergency). On the same tariff as the Twintub, this machine costs 17p per hour on a 30'c quick wash, rising to 29p per hour for a 95'c wash (bedding/towels). And wash cycle times are between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending on what's being washed.
With the Hotpoint Supermatic Twintub, the maximum wash time is 12 minutes (more than sufficient to remove most stains without further treatment), plus 2x 2300rmp, plus 1x 3 minute auto spinrinse cycle = 25 mins.
One final and important advantage in today's energy efficient conscious world is the high spin speed. Today's modern automatic washing machines have a spin rmp no higher than 1600 rmp. And if you have no outside washing line or its a wet day, clothes take a long time to dry on radiators or in the tumble dryer (costing you ££££'s in electric. The spin dryer on a Hotpoint Supermatic has 2300 rmp, and I can honestly tell you that thick jeans and heavy bath towels come out almost dry after a maximum 5 minute spin.
I don't posses a tumble dryer and have no central heating (just costly electric wall heaters that are rarely on unless in the depth of winter it really gets freezing cold), and no garden to hang out washing. So it all has to be dried indoors on hangers and airers, and again I can say that I can have 90% of it dry enough to iron or put away in 6 hours.
Well I hope that I have not sent you to sleep with all this information, and hope that it has opened your eyes a little to the advantages of a Hotpoint Supermatic Twintub washing machine.
Thank you for your support in this :-)

I have been reviewing the correspondence sent to the manufacturer regarding the efficiency and durability of the Supermatic range. Their silence confirms they are not yet prepared to address the growing demand for these reliable machines. Further analysis of the cost comparisons is currently underway to bolster our argument.

Please bring back the twin tubs. I’m a disabled, single lady and doing the laundry with the automatic washing mashing and drier costs almost £30 per month. Twin tubs definitely are more economical to use and at present we are all trying to just get by.
This was the best washing machine ever made for washing nasty things from you kitchen, baby clothing, and diapers. Please bring this washing machine back! I would buy four of them at one time, one for me and one for each of our children.
I so miss my old twin tub and would ove another,in this day and age it would make more sense to own one with climate change etc as used water can be recycled by watering the garden,plus use less electric and water as can wash bigger loads so overall better for the environment
Had one yrs ago but front loaders came in but have regretted parting with my twin tub. You can't boil in modern machines like I could with my tub. Front loaders smell to and I have tried everything to get rid of smell.
I totally agree. These washing machines were very well built and did a good job. However most spares are now unavailable. They are electric, not electronic and are fairly simple to repair in an age when most people prefer to junk a machine rather than paying high costs for 'motherboards' etc.
Would purchase a metal Hotpoint Supermatic twin tub or Servis / Hoover style in a beat but not the plastic rubbish they sell. Please manufacture them and bring them back to the UK made in the UK. Best machines we ever had. second best old style Miele.
Twin tub washing machines in a cost of living crisis are a godsend. Economical to run, easy to use , saving money for both water and electricity. A great first washing machine for those with a mortgage to think about. Please bring the twin tub washing machines of old like hotpoint, servis super twin and servis 111, etc
