Beautiful specimen! Here, in Mexico, there was a time when single and twin tubes excelled on budget washing machines, and thousands of families had their clothes fresh and clean in two seconds... The old ones were built in aluminium tub, and modern ones have plastic tubes. Never was anything in stainless steel... There were compact, lightweight, even movable... reliable and powerful and efficient. There are missed in many homes...

My mum had a twin tub washing machine for about 14 years! I also had a twin tub for a while I loved it!

My mum was initially excited when she swapped her twin tub for a front loader in the 70s, but quickly lamented that the twin tub was better! She appreciated the extra space the front loader afforded in our galley kitchen, though.

Hi Mat, great to see you posting. What an unusual Hoovermatic in Australia, so interesting to see. The nominal load for these was 6 pounds (slightly less than three kilos) although it does depend on what is being washed, you have to reduce the weight when washing large things like sheet or towels. So interesting to see the different auto rinse too, I am surprised they dud not adopt that here as its such a simple mechanism.

Hi Al! Sure these things don't hold a lot! I imagine the housewife would be washing every other day! If they were doing a one wash day every week it would be a mammoth task. My grandmother had three of these one after the other though so they must have worked for her! I love the AutoRinse too on these. The way the water sprays over the entire load not just one part is much better i feel. x

We had this model as a kid. Before that we had a round one with the rollers on top to squeeze out the water. This model was a "Housewives dream". It also doubled as an esky for parties. Just put in ice and beer and you're good to go.

Interesting to see an Australian Hoovermatic. I am Welsh and we had 2 over the years, both made in the Hoover factory at Merthyr Tydfil. They were basically the same as this one but the rinse feaure was different and the knobs smaller and harder to turn. You'd think the same manufacturer would turn out the same product wherever, but apparently not so

What is fascinating to see is a heater for a twin tub and also a side mounted pulsator as when seeing the clothes in the wash part it looks like it's "tumbling" in a front load washer

With this type of washer, you reuse the wash water, depending on how soiled the clothes are. You start with whites first, and providing you don't use chlorine bleach (my understanding is that chlorine bleach is banned in most European countries), then you go with the lightest colors, and maybe darks. You might be able to reuse the same wash water for up to 3 loads.

Another great find Matt & Eliot, I do like those larger style of controls , much easier to grip & turn, and that spin spray nozzle looks like it can do a fab job . Just notoced the chevron type pattern on the washtub filter , is that one all your Aussy Hoovermatics ? That spary nozzle does a great jof of flaring the rinse water over the clothes !!

@@rebelcolorist yep there is a marker on the temp dial for Boil and it will just continue to engage the heater until your ready to turn it off. So it will boil away like a pan on the stove. It has an emergency cut out if it happens to boil dry though
