That thing looks like it is built like a tank! It would require a crew of burly men to get it up or down a flight of stairs.

I have never understood how best to use one of these. You would need at least two people if you washed in both tubs, one to do the rinsing in the set tubs and one to do the hanging up. It seems like you could get backed up on rinsing since the machine could wash two loads at once but only one load could be rinsed at a time unless you had two helpers for rinsing, but arranging rinse tubs around this machine would be difficult with the wringer between two of the tubs. If you washed in one and rinsed in the other, you would have to do at least one change of rinse water for each load after wringing them out, emptying and refilling the tub then putting them back in for the second agitated rinse. I guess if you needed a double tub washer, you either had enough kids to help with the laundry or could afford staff otherwise this machine would wear you out even faster than a regular wringer washer.

Alternatively, you could get some of that "no rinse" Tide that that was being advertised in the 1950s, use both tubs to wash, then wring everything out! ;)

No rinsing...that's why Tide was called "The Washday Miracle." Tide caught on but the miracle didn't. Sort of like washing your clothes and dishes in the Thor.

Long Story Short

There were unlimited ways one could use these twin tub wringers.

For instance a cool or warm water prewash in one tub, then wring wash into the next that was filled with hot/boiling water. Wring that load out into either a tub or sink for rinsing...
