Very cool scan - I've always had a soft spot for these twin-tub Hoovers. A neighbor of ours had the Deluxe set and used to let me "help" with the washing for their family of five. I thought it was so cool at the time but looking back, I can't imagine washing this way for so many people when hookups for automatics were in the next room! She used it for a long time though. I have had a few of these over the years, a Hoover like this was the first washer I brought home at age 16 when I could drive and "hunt" on my own. I found a "Deluxe" model with the automatic rinse and water spout at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago - so much fun to play with.

Did you bring it home and try it? I've always thought Hoover twin-tubs were cool but I haven't found one yet...it seems that Maytag carried Hoover's spin speed to their twin-tub design; I read in the Archives that it was 2000 RPM. | ||

Hi Austin - I did bring it home, cleaned it up and it worked perfectly. Like the Maytag twinnies, these are relatively simple machines mechanically. The Deluxe model has an auto-rinse feature that I really like, mostly just for the fun of it all as it doesn't really do that great of a job rinsing. Here's a picture of the deluxe model - looks to be about the same year as the previous scan. BTW - Love the cat rug, hilarious!
