How amazing Hoover sold using a twin tub as "modern" to housewives of the 1960's. But then again when you consider some of the other options, perhaps it was.

Before you consider the alternatives, consider what that actually meant from a financial point of view....

128gns plus 7 gns for the heater!!

135gns is A£141 s15

That's the equivalent today of $3,660....

Would any of you care to part with $3,660 for a twin-tub today?

Appliances were BLOODY EXPENSIVE here in the 1960's

got her first Hoovermatic in 1963 believe me it was luxury compared to the wringer washer that she had before washing for a family of 6 was no joke
