What kewl pics! Thanks for posting. Yes, TT washing is very labour intensive, but fun! Basically it is wringer washing with a spinner. Lots of splashing (thank goodness for those "wee-wee" pads), and with the Hoover at least lots of noise,rattling and vibrations. Mainly only on spinning though, during the wash the unit is almost dead silent. By the way, does anyone know if spin mats for twin tubs are interchangeable? Mine is slowly coming apart, and though Gizmo is sending another, want to keep my eye out for either Maytag or Hoover mats should they pop up. Launderess | ||

Cool pictures! Isn't it fun to find a machine back that you had in the past?! I have never seen one of those litte twintubs with two pulsators at work, would love to do a wash with one sometime. I must say your Maytag N2LPS looks great. I like it especially because it's round unlike most Maytag wringers. | ||

Tangling in Hoovers
Find if one is careful about load sizes tangling in a Hoover TT isn't *that* bad. Have always loaded my washer the way the Maytag instructions state: start the washer and add only enough laundry that can be moved by the impellers. One has to remember the Hoover unit at least was designed for rapid washing in one tub, then rinsing/spinning in the other. In theory once one got a rythym going wash day should wizz past. Another thing I find that helps keep tangling down with a Hoover is to do wash cycles in short bursts, then a brief soaking period, then repeat. Again this is allot of palaver for wash day, but why bother using a twin tub if one does not want drama? One thing about the Maytag twinnies, wonder why they only spun at 2100 versus Hoover's 3100 or so. And why weren't they designed for spin rinsing verus moving laundry back and forth between tubs? Hoover units seem a tab more water efficient in that one could in theory cut water use by only doing spin rinses instead of deep rinses in the tub. Know some say the spin rinse on later models wasn't that great, but find the older models, where one filled the extractor with water and let her rip pretty good at removing suds/soap. Launderess | ||

Scuffed up, Shmuffed up Geoff, My peepers ain't all that good, but it don't look like there's much scuffed upidness to me! I thought things look quite tidy and sensible. Thank you for the lovely presentation.Looking forward to seeing your "new" automatic. | ||

Very cool, don't think I've seen one in Coppertone! But, how are you going to rinse when wringer washing, if you remove the tubs?! | ||

Spin Mats
Are the rubber covers one places over the laundry in the spinner on TTs to keep items down in the tub. Your Maytag's manual simply calls them a "rubber cover". We're going to have to get you a pinny (apron) for those messy washdays! Bet you would'nt catch Mrs. Cleaver doing her laundry without one! Maybe I'll embroider one for you with something like "Maytag" in maculine, but discreet lettering! *LOL "Ward, I'm worried about Beaver". Launderess | ||

That brings back many fond memories. I can remember as a kid by mom and aunt had a hoover washer just like that. Thanks for the pictures. Darin | ||

my friend washes whites, followed by sheets, colors, towels and then the dirtiest stuff last. She can often put about 7 loads through one tub of water (but she doesn't rinse (eew)) | ||
