They are very hands-on machines, very capable and fun. If you have all the owners manuals, there's not much to worry about. You could also get one going with hot water, strong soap, and bleach and the other with warm water and gentler soap, do different types in clothes in each. Check the model #, I think 0910 is a dryer, not a washer. Some of the Hoovers have a rinse ability inside the spinner, many don't , but I am confused on your model number.
You'll probably get the floor a bit wet so it's perfect timing to do your weekly floor mop after the wash, and it's smartest and most effcient to get 2 baskets or more full of laundry together before filling these manual machines up with water, but if it's not a long walk from kitchen to bath, your idea of one as a wash and one as a rinse is pretty cool.
Search the archives here for more info, but the owners manual is best for sure. Take some pictures of your new toys and show us. With a quick read of the manual and one session of clothes through each, you'll probably be 99% an expert, but feel free to ask more after you start.
HAve Fun, and welcome to AW.org

How fun!
Know how long since they have been operated? If long, the seals can dry out and benefit from soaking before attempting to operate. Consider what to do if they leak, like towels and a siphon hose to empty. Might start with a quart, if no puddles a couple gallons, let soak several hours. If the Hoover doesn't leak, fill to halfway up the rotor disc, there's a seal behind that. Happy washing. |
