Once again, the Duo-Load Literally, a Wet Dream machine.
A Taylor Avenue Hotpoint, solid tub machine that featured a large "mini-basket" that was indeed more complicated than the GE versions. IIRC Hotpoint offered this model for two years, but since Hotpoint/Hotpoint appliances days were numbered and since CU slammed this model in their 1969 review, alas, this model along with most of the line was discontinued early in the ' 70's.
The Hotpoint mini-tub was fed by the same fill flume that serviced the main tub. Through an ingenious system of floats in the plastic lid for the mini-tub (which looked a lot like the familiar Filter-Flo filter pan, but had nothing to do with lint removal) the water would first fill the mini and would then be diverted to fill the main tub.
The only positive thing that CU reported was that Hotpoint's mini tub could hold more stuff than the GE mini-basket and wasted far less water.
I think somebody at CU had a real bug up their a** that year when it came to judging Hotpoint and Frigidaire. I would be delirious if I ever found one of these machines and a TOL Frigidaire from that year. | ||
