Spin Dryer
Hi David
Will keep an eye open, I`m sure between us there will be space in the van for one for you!!!, the hoover ones I like because they are taller, the Hotpoint ones because you can rinse in and the later pump debonairs are great...not forgetting the Frigidaires... Hi Jeff, Our UK Hotpoint Toploaders spin at 1050rpm even for woollens, they just dont spin as long and coast the spin on and off... I`ve always spun woollens in spinners and twinnies at 2,800rpm - 3,100 its not the revs but how they are supported, smaller drum better support , 30secs to a minute for woollens at 2,800rpm is great, aired flat, nearly ready to wear..

Creda Debonair Autopump
Had this a few weeks from a junk shop and all it needed was the jubilee clip tightening around the drain hose to stop a leak.
Perfect for rinsing in and splendidly dry results at 2700rpm. Amusing to think that back in the 70's folk with Indesit FL's with that low low 380rpm spin were using spin driers to get the wash dry quicker. Here I am 35 years later with yet a modern 1000rpm Indesit craving for a 1600rpm plus machine and using a Creda to get that water out. Towels are ever so soft after a good extraction in this as they spend less time drying into cardboard. Really makes a difference on a full load of cottons. You can expect up to a litre out of a full load.

Hoover Spin a Rinse
Congratulation on the spinner David, well worth getting it and you can try it and see, just been talking to John and will sort out a Hotpoint for you to try etc, Hotpoint is quieter but you cant beat the rattle of the Hoover, and the hotpoint spins the fastest at 3,100, never fathomed why the spinrinses spin slower than the twinnies etc

Sadly not family photos
Mike
The picture was taken in 1995 as an appliance collectoir I was introduced to in Sheffield, the first time I actually came across someone else with that same interest. I snapped a few pictures, on that occasion of items I had not seen for a long time. Here is the other washer pic I took then, amother one definatly on the "want" list Al

Meet Ups
Hi David & Mathew & Richard, glad to hear a good time was had by all..!!Dont they look great together, although these where out at the same time as the last twinny , the T5090, the colour on the seperates is a lot better than that grey stuff they used on the twinny...never understood that, Hoover where famous for the "Colour Pallette" and then produced that, but these are a dusky pinky grey which is fab...
Gary , yes they did come with a "Hoover Bridging Link" which was the plastic unit to clamp them both together on the top and make it like a twinny.. funny because in the seventies they came with the spinners & washers but there are hardly any to be seen, anybody have one?? only trouble was because of the controls and spinner arm you couldnt set them up like a twinny!!, spinner had to be on the left...heres the 60`s models!!

Hoover Twosome
Yje brige to connect the spinner to single tub machine was actually a good marketing ploy by Hooverfor anyone who had bought either the washing machine (probably with a wringer) could "upgrade" to a twinnie by adding the appropriate matching machine. There was also the "advantage" of being able to store the two parts separatly if needed - although what is not mentioned is the need for two 13/15amp plugs to run them - fetch teh adaptor and we are back to "valeria Barlow territory" LOLOL.
In gact there were two varieties of bridge, a "swallow" one for the early machines when the spinner lid was hinged on the left (as shown in Mike's pic) and a wider one for the later machines which covered the drain hose as shown in Matthew's setup. In that case the wash tub is at 90 degrees to what might have been preseumed to be its natural operating position i.e. the back of the wash tub is on to the side of the spinner Al | ||

"Join Them Together To Form a Luxuary TwinTub"
Al, i`d forgotten about the two sizes, yes you are right , my Nans grey bridge was indeed smaller, then seeing my Grans 70`s model was in black and yes was a lot wider....I was very dissapointed that she had a Frigidaire spinner and couldnt bridge it....
Saying that my Nan with the matching 60`s grey set didnt use the bridge either as the the spinner was placed in front of the sink and the washer at right angle to it!! Also the later 70`s black ones had a lip up at each end so the water was contained when transferring clothes over it!!! For me personally the correct way to use a Hoover is with the activator on the back wall not to the side of you, you`d get drenched with all that water hurling towards you!!!

Rinsing
Dave, you are right. Have tried rinsing with a hose as you would using a twinny and the sodding thing does like to flood!
I do find it suitable for a bucket of comfort/plain water over the contents letting it absorb into the load and then spinning it out. Perhaps not the deep rinsing you were refering to. Rob | ||
