Well here I go. In search for either a Maytag A50, a Hoover TwinTub or dare I dream, a Speed Queen TwinTub. White would be ideal, but any color would be OK but coppertone. Within reasonable driving distance from New York City. Thanks in advance. | ||

I have a Hoover that needs a new home...
Of course, coppertone. But, this machine is available. I just don't have the room for it and it never gets used.

Louie my A50 was just like the one in your original post. It really was a gem.
For a while when I had it my brother lived with me and he loved using it. I only had a full size bed on those days and I could wash a full sized blanket in it with no problem.
Its the dual reversing impellers that make the difference. And the loads were never tangled either. Also, the spinner must have been at least 1000 rpm and sure got the water out of the laundry. I had a Whirlpool compact dryer in the kitchen and vented it out the window when in use. Most loads dried in about 40-45 mins.
I hope you’ll be successful in finding an A50. They are a fun and efficient machine.

You’re so welcome Louie! But to answer you question, I don’t believe there would be any way to permanently hookup an A50.
There are no water inlet valves. The machine came with a detachable rubber fill hose that the user pushes onto the most convenient faucet where the machine will be used. I suppose if you had a dedicated area with a sink that has a threaded faucet you could attach a regular washer fill hose and leave it in the sink. But that wouldn’t be a real “hookup”.
Anyway, the A50 is a very fun machine to use. I used to be able to do my full weeks laundry in an hour or less, much like using a wringer, only the high speed spinner really gets the water out to where the laundry dries very quickly if you’re using a regular dryer.
I attached a link with the A50 owners manual so you can get a good idea just how it works and how to correctly use an A50.
Good luck in your quest!

Best Compact Vintage Portable Washers Hoover was probably the most popular of the TTs, The MT is quieter while spinning than a Hoover and the MT is the most compact.
If you have a little more room the SQ TT is the largest and is not as hard on clothing as the MT when washing and is by far the most serious TT.
For a great 2nd Washer I would get a portable 1973-1986 Whirlpool automatic, I have used Wringer Washers and TTs and they get old very fast when you have to manually control every step of the process.

Very Quiet! You are so correct Martin about the A50. I knew the spinner was hella fast, but didn’t realize it was 2000 rpm. It was perfect when I lived in an upstairs apartment.

Have or had all three; vintage WP portable/convertible (since moved on), Hoover TT and Maytag wringer still remain. Each have their own niche IMHO, but in terms of getting large amounts of laundry done quickly, and if those items are big, the Maytag wins.
Cannot do queen or king sized sheets in the Hoover TT. Nor really blankets, quilts, or other bulky items. Maytag wringer handles those things easily. Yes, it's a bit of work, but far better than dealing with TT, and certainly none of the larger items would fit well in WP portable. | ||
