Hoover 0307 Washing Machine First Model (1948)


The Hoover 0307 Single Tub Washing Machine with hand wringer, first machine by Hoover in 1947 at Merthyr Tydfyl factory, South Wales,UK. It consisted of a single metal tub with the famous "Hoover Boiling Action Pulsator, a spinning disc in the side of the tub which produced swirling currents of water through which the clothes where moved. It was a basic design, it didnt even have a switch, you just plugged it in and switched it on & off at the wall socket. As it had no electric pump, after washing you simply laid the hose into a bucket or drain, the empty hole in the base of the tub is very small but the vortex it produces is very powerful and drains very quickly. This model was great for the smaller family home and you could place it under a sink draining board or in a corner of the kitchen without taking up to much space, a great advantage over a copper or washboiler. It was last manufactured in 1957 after selling 325000 of them. To use, simply fill it with hot water, add your washing powder and switch on for a minute to dissolve the soap powder, then add the clothes around 4lbs dry weight and wash cottons for around 4 mins and synthetics & delicates for 2 mins. After washing you would feed the clothing through the hand wringer to force out the excess water. Technical Data: Height: 30 inches width: 16.5 inches Depth: 15.5 inches Weight: 69lbs Motor rpm: 1425 Pulsator rpm: 560 Water Capacity: 6.75 gallons Wattage: 300 Amps: 225/250v AC 50cycles
