Will it take a double duvet cover, double bedsheet and pillowcases? *holds breath* |

Although I kept the lid down for the duration of the wash to save being splattered! |

Even though I used the correct amount of Fairy Snow detergent... ended up ladling it out with a jug. |

You may have heard that Hoovermatics tangle a little... Note that the pillowcase is about the same vintage as the machine! |

Much easier that having to keep hosing the load down. Plus three rinses take about the same time as one four minute load, which keeps your momentum going. |

Only takes about a minute to empty the tub. Marvellous machine! |

Hey Simon, Glad you got it working, looks in fine condition, I love the Charcoal and blue styling of these machines, so simple and stylish....I see, like Hoover , you are not afraid of colour!!! I`m curious as to how you loaded ??did you place on top of the water and then switch on?? or puch the clothes under?? I was always taught to switch on and then load items whilst it whipped them under the water, Jon from brum says always load under the water then switch on....have tried both and sometimes it still tangles.... AND, it wouldnt be a Hoover Wash without a Splash!!! Cheers, Mike |

Such a beautiful machine and the chrome tub is so much nicer than the plastic American one I have. Isn't the spinning just insane? Don't know any toploader than spins faster? My way is to fill it, start the agitation, then feed the load, piece by piece and watch the Hoover dog madly snatch it down. Woff ! Woff ! Lots o' fun. |

This machine is the reason that washday became a thrill for me - it is such an exciting machine in every way and the fact that the operator is in control makes it even better. Wonderful pics! |

Hey John, welcome to the club from me, I`m sure people where beginning to think I was making you up...LOl...love the 3314, one of my favourite Hoover machines by colour and about the only one I dont have ...yet, AND, I see you took my advice about loading youre spinner, that pic looks just about right by my loading...LOl, (I`m gonna get such a slap for that) John always tells me I underload the spinner and then he laughs when I throw everything into the FL for a final rinse & spin...whereas I take pity on those spin cans when John virtually stands on top to get the load in!!!! Here`s his machine on my last visit roadtesting some Conditioners... Hi Jon Jetcone, the Camper Twinny is working fine, great to see the inside action through the plastic!!! Cheers, Mike |

My mum had a 1980's model of those twinnies, it was our washer when i was born and for about two years into my life. I think it was the last Hoovermatic made, there is a pic i took from a yahoo group below *this is not my machine and i do not take credit for the photography*. It was an awesome machine and i can still remember the very distinctive roar of the spinner. However mum never really took notice of the auto rinse function and just tipped two washing up bowls full of water over the load, a spin in between each one with the second one having Lenor in it. Then we got the Hoover EcoLogic 1100 and she loved it but still missed her twinnie. |

I think it is safe to say that the Hoovermatic twin tub was a unique machine and as soon as I can, I am getting another one!! All these threads and videos made me realise what I am missing since selling my 3314L |

Nice machines there John, make sure its stays"MINT"...LOl, thats your pension fund when you sell it back to Hoover.... I do like the strong accent colours...nice to see I`m not the only one who doesnt totally rinse in the twinny!!!and two to three pairs of jeans is about right, unless you are doing a batch of "Tye Dye".... Those powders just take you straight back, I was sent a 60`s pack of Persil and although sealed some had leaked out into the plastic bag...I put a load of hot water into the sink and tipped the little bit on...OMG..was taken straight back to my Nan`s kitchen with her Hoover Twosome boiling with Persil...wonderful.. |
