Welcome to the group!
Twin tubs, a way of life for some round ere, as fer me like well- Get it in the automatic on a boil lololololol. Once you get one, you have to get em all! One of each make, at least, I mean then the fun triples. Hotpoint to clean properly, and spin properly and rinse properly and OOOOvah and Servis to use as Hostess Trollies and Mop Buckets! Enjoy!

I don't at the moment, I had a 3314L and 3334 and had to get rid of them both due to lack of storage but am always on the lookout - I found the 3314L dumped in the alley out the back of the house - almost as if had be heaven sent LOL!! | ||

Ah thanks
Me and T'other half (matchboxpaul)have amassed around 60 washers dryers dishwashers etc, automatics mostly but 2 twinnies are in there. T5054 which imo is Hoovers nicest design and colourway. Gutting to think of those long gone Twinnies but they can be found and restored given the time and inclination so nothing to worry about now. My profile pic was taken on "The Nab" on boxing day last year, The Nab being a landmark in Pauls home village of Whalley in Lancashire. So picturesque! Love it up there, makes for some great views. Are you on facebook by chance? plenty of pics on my profile, few of the twinnies and a few of the automatics I use as daily machines, | ||

Ah if the boyfriend doesn't know, then best we don't descend on mass, armed with marrigolds, wash tongs and boxes of twin tub Daz. In my case the twin tub moved in before I did. Then I moved in and many more followed. | ||

About 10 Twin tubs and more than ten automatics,in varing states of repair and full working order. I'm close to the centre of Cardiff in Roath. You look like your having a great time with the Hotpoint, the perspective makes it look very small. | ||

the first Hoover twin tub I ever remember seeing was in my elementary school's cafeteria and that was way back around 1963. We had just gotten our great Lady Kenmore all in one front loading gas washer dryer.Our teacher,Mrs Rockman,had us students go to the cafeteria's commercial kitchen and learn how to make peanut butter fudge.As we got there,I heard water swirling around and a quiet buzz sound. The closer we got,the more I realized somebody was doing wash. I could smell the detergent (All) and,once I saw where the sound was,I opened it and saw all the dish towels and aprons going around in soapy water. It was entrancing to say the least and I almost lost out on making my fudge!Welcome aboard!

Im based in Marlborough wilts.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Grandma's street in Pittsburgh where I met the Easy was Marlborough Ave. Curious coincidence. Few of you are old enough to have met a fullsize twintub. Or a 1983 Panasonic like I had. I lived in Hawaii and as far as I know that's the only place in the US that got them. Both tubs dual speed and clutchless, standalone pump. IINM, Hoover never managed all those longevity features. I'd still be tempted to have a Hoover if they were available here. But I'd much prefer a Panasonic, which I can't even find a picture of. Because the Hoovers were frangible where the Panasonic was bulletproof. | ||

hotpoint 95622 I’m a bit of a Hotpoint fanatic, I can here the giggling in the background.
I have just finished restoring the Liberator 1851/03 And also have 18680 plus 95622, and a machine which I have made my own microchip controller for which one day may just get finished, it just keeps evolving.
Recently added a Hoover Constellation vacuum into the mix.
