yeah, keep the loads light and you'll have great wash action, like they said you'll get into the swing once you start spinning and rinsing, check to make sure the belts are tight and the hoses are not blocked or kinked....those are fun machines, I used to have one as a spare for quick loads or to lend to someone when their machine broke down, better than running to the laundry or NO machine at all!....enjoy!

Hoovermatic
These are great machines, and what every one else has said makes perfect sense, dont overload it, washing is so quick with this machine even though you wash small amounts (6LB max) as Hoovermatic says your washing will be done in a flash Change the drive belts, make sure the spin pump is not seazing (common fault)......parts do come up on ebay for these There is a vid of my 3334 on youtube, that had 4 t-shirts, 1 track pants and some boxer shorts in that load which I found to be a good load for this machine Good luck I hope you enjoy this excellent machine Gary | ||

p.s Towels are just a dream to wash in the hoovermatic... they seem to thrive on bedding and towels more than anything else. a healthy Hoover can handle at least four med bath towels with a vigorous wash action. | ||

Extractors In General
Including the Hoover spin basket do generally spin better and are more stable when fully loaded. This however means pushing items down into the basket to fit in a full load. Once that lot gets finished spinning at 2800 rpms for several minutes, you better using a tumble dryer, or be prepared to do major ironing. For dress shirts I'd load the spinner loosely, and extract for only a minute or less, then rinse. No scratch that. Better to not spin between wash and rinses, then spin for a short time as final extract. Remove shirts from the basket and hang to drip dry. Many of today's dress shirts day "do not spin" on the tag for a reason. Spin shirts too long and or too fast and you will end up with creases that may never come out, even with ironing. L. | ||

Hey Hey
When I got my Hoovermatic it had a lagging wash action too, it used to get clogged up so easy. All i did was buy a replacement wash belt of Ebay and put that on, now the washer side is good as new, turns over nice and fast. You will soon figure out the loading of it. 4-5 t-shirts usually is a comfortable turnover but as I say you will figure it out :-) On mine i need to look at the spinner as it makes a loud loooong squeaking noise unless I run hot water through it first, i think its the bearings.
