Classic Old Washing Machine - I still use this regularly. For all those who have no idea of what a Twin Tub is ! Enjoy
I am Missing original Fill hose and this twin tub does not have the heater in it.

These machines were very popular here in Baltimore MD i had an avocado green color one of same model i miss it i knew many people that owned one i wish Hoover would bring them back. very economical washing machine 👍👍👍👍👍

Hoover twin tub washing machines were very popular in Australia during the 1970s until they stopped making them back in the 1990s!!

[@bagelboi66]

When I was really little my grandma had one of these except it had blue trim. The thing shrieked like a bloody jet engine when it spun. It's astounding what one will watch in the middle of the night. Oh well greetings from Vancouver!

[@simonsteam]

Happy memories with these kinda machines. remember as a kid in the kitchen with gran using one of these. odd times pipes would fall out of sink or fling up from machine. big spray of water. then a shriek. lots of cursing and the mop bucket close by .

[@gitslover9834]

I have never seen these types of washing machines before now I want one. l love vintage washing machines. My dad had an old washer dryer set from the 70 s it was G E it lasted up until 2010.

[@haywardsdave]

I love these old machines.. I wish u could still buy them.>!!

[@colmcoleman6421]

i love the way it sucks the clothes in and you dont have to do anything

[@tenaoconnor7510]

we got one like this when I was a kid. had to replace the water pump every 5years or so. I used it after I got married. had to give it up when we couldn't get new pumps. wish I still had it. worked great

[@Begining2013]

I wish they made twin tubs as solidly as they used to!

[@charlesmaguire6801]

i worked for hoover for 20 years,this is not a uk model in uk it was called the 3314Ldif colour dif knobs but same machine,very simple to repair pulsator driven by belt,spin motor insulated by 3 rubber feet,pump belt rubber ,it could be yellow or blue,depending on model,spin drive belt "v" shaped it had a habit of breaking the mount under the spin can,it was called the resilent bearing,easy job to repair

[@MrSullivanniall]

Great video. I've just recently scored a HooverMatic Deluxe model 3316, made under license by Fisher and Paykel New Zealand ltd from Hoover U.K. I have no idea how old it is but it still works really well "auto rinse" and all. Like yours it also has no heater.

[@gafteng]

I'm getting a panda twin tub but wish I had this vintage one. It's very awesome!

[@ChrisFlegg]

we had this machine as a kid, and i remember one of the rubber stoppers flying off and hitting me in the eye!

[@destineydevereux4722]

I've tried to get another of these for years, but no luck,, my son recently bought me a new "similar" model, but it's all plastic,,$100us,,,, t works well, but I'm still going to watch for a Hoover!

[@charlesmaguire6801]

it was a very simple machine to repair,thats why lots of people had them,

[@glamatomic]

I saw one of these for sale at a local second hand/bargain store... it was a mustard color and I was SO tempted to buy it ($50 and it said it ran!)- although I'm sure my husband would think I was off my rocker if I had purchased it :)

[@tcsdlm]

@jaredini Hey Thanks for your comment. I filled it up to the fill line on the wash side with water, I found if you dont use enough it wont move the clothe around. I found this machine at a Garage sale was told it was broken paid $30 for it and it had a Nail in the pump - easy fixed. I am in New Zealand so I suppose this would be an australian model I will look and let you know Andrew

[@grantony100]

I used one of these for a short time - small capacity! If you put too much laundry in, it wouldn't agitate.

[@JeffMarshallfan]

I remember seeing these advertised on TV in the U.S. but never saw one in operation.

[@shirleysmith1868]

Jesus I had this washer when I lived in a House trailer 40 years ago It was a good washer

[@bora4224]

I think these ones are better and better than the new toploaders and front loaders.Because these machines let the water pass through the clothes,so the clothes get cleaner very quickly and properly than the new machines do.New machines just make the clothes turn in the dirty water.

[@jbooks888]

3:50 "I'm missing my original hose..." LOL

[@andrewdavidloch360]

thats over filled.. you didn't see the water line. I used to work this thing. Then rince the spin in new water from the tap. I used to work these things.

[@ducklandwikeno]

My mother had a brow color one and also a green colored one by hoover . They washed everything good as I can remember . I dont remember what my mother did with her machine .

[@stephenchecksfield3011]

Very similar to the English version of the hoovermatic deluxe twin tub the obvious difference is no heater in the wash tub and no auto rinse nozzle built in under the spin dryer lid

[@dawnfinch8873]

my mum had one i think they wash better than front loaders

[@mick2345vid]

we use to have one if there's good washers

[@DAYBROK3]

whites first then lightly soiled then work clothes spinning the clothes after drain refill with water and fabric softner and rinseand spin in same order the clothes come out way cleaner

[@heymargaretlook]

I had 2 of these maybe 3 over the years renting flats etc in the 70's good old reliable machines and cheap.

[@carlkane7544]

ah yes the old twin tub washing macines.my nan had one similar my mother had a hotpoint had it for years I remember.then I had one was very good as well.but now.........well I confess I now own a washer dryer........but its a hoover.

[@mk202]

Was there a reason it didn't have a cover for the washtub or is it just off for the video?

[@robynw6307]

Interesting. Have never seen one in action before. But it sure ties you to the laundry while washing. I'd rather be able to go do other things during the cycle.

[@philliphurley3883]

+Robyn Webster They only take about an hour to do a whole weeks washing against two hours for one load in an automatic. You rinse and spin one load whilst another load is washing. They get things cleaner than an automatic..

[@tcsdlm]

@james92847 I got it from a Garage sale for $30 It had a blocked pump with a nail in it and fixed that and the machine was fine

[@Jeffybonbon]

I can think backwhen my mother had one lol Monday washing day

[@jaredini]

Water level is a bit hig. Nice coloured machine though, this in the US or Aus?

[@doobydoo]

I have an ancient washing machine i don't even know what its called it has a strange clothes strainer above the tub that will rip your fingers off and it works fine.

[@jeffreygadson]

A wringer washer

[@user-dl7td6kk6s]

The smallest one of this machine good or not please

[@BibaSenana]

how possible wash whites with colors?

[@charlesmaguire6801]

auto rinse was a laugh ,a pressure switch fitted to the spin tub,you put hose onto the tap and let it fill the tub,when the right level was reached,the pressure switch turn the motor on and the pump too

[@harrystevens3885]

Charles Maguire If it worked then whats funny ? I can only assume it wasn't complicated enough for you.

[@endangeredarchitecture]

I have one of these. What is it worth?

[@thelmabroughton1053]

where are you?

[@user-dl7td6kk6s]

Why it is worth

[@suzy_the_cockatoo]

Does anyone know the wattage/amp draw?

[@mambu229]

[@fjbutch]

[@orangie8426]

Too many pet peeves for me... Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love the twin tub washer.... But... it's just I'd use it differently... I cringed when i saw the lint plopping into the wash tub from the spin dryer.. I just couldn't put more clothes in with that.. Nor re-use dirty water to clean clothes. ? for me it's wash in wash tub drain that water man.. It's DIRTY... spin ... Then, rinse in wash tub... drain and spin... I can't imagine just spin rinsing is getting all the suds out of the deep fibers... The clothes needs to agitate and move around in the water which brings the soap out of the meterial.. same for using softner... For me... the clothes must go In the washtub for a softener rinse.. so the clothes agitate and the softener gets in deep into the fibers of the clothes... otherwise if you add the softener in the spin tub... i would think that the softener is just flowing over the top and outside of the meterial of the clothes and just rinsing away.. Idk... Maybe I'm wrong..

[@BroccoliBeefed]

Inconvenient and sloppy. I'll stick to my top loading automatic single tub model
