Hey I'm wondering did Hoover twin tubs have a reversing pulsator like a Maytag A50? Cheers Adam |

Although a fast wash was achieved unless you did small loads the tangling was a nightmare and I never realised that you were meant to leave things tangled as you spun them as they became less of a pain after rinsing ! Wish I had known that years back when using mine it could have saved a lot of time lol
I have a couple of Hoovermatics in my collection and last weekend got a young washer fan initiated into the world of twin tub washing :) Often wondered why reversing pulsator was never considered I can only guess it would add to the cost and a lot of folk would have struggled to find the extra as if you were going to pay more for a reversing Hoovermatic you may as well by a Servis or Hotpoint which had a back and forth agitator.

The Monitor we had was 1 way on the agrivator, hand wringer and gravity drain, My next door neighbor as a kid had a Hoover wringer, from Germany and that went 1 way too. The Hoover had a pump and powered wringer but pump and wringer worked at the same time you switched them on. I was fascinated by that machine and the German lettering.

Thus didn't tangle into a mass, that boiling wash action from Hoover did work a treat.
www.hatads.org.uk/catalogue/recor... There is vigorous water movement and wash gets thoroughly thrashed about. Am sad to say on most loads have never reached such a state. *LOL* |

My Asko front load washer has a bad motor control so it tries to spin when running the wash/rinse cycle, I could say a little bit of thrashing is going on, I'll try to get a video of it for you |
