Nice machines Kevin, you are not the only one who has 'lost his mind'... I just bought, this week, my tenth twin tub washing machine ! And, btw, I live in a four pieces appartment, not one of those big houses with plenty of space !! I suppose it is like a 'sickness', if I can say that. There...

Maytag A50 Thanks Eddie ! I believe this is the famous Maytag 'Porta Washer'. I would have liked to buy one of those great little machines but, alas, either i missed the ones on offer or the unit for sale was located way too far from my vincinity. I noticed the impeller of the new machines...

'Modern' ... ... Twin tubs ! Largely made of rigid plastic, except for internal parts of the spin can and, of course, the motors and mechanicals, etc. A quick look on the net shows the extent and huge variety of those kinds of machines. Seems, actually, that there is some sort of a 'rebirth'...

Some more photos, including money shots : Basically, marketed under several brand names (original overseas companies?)

Ooops! Thought i was posting this thread in Deluxe, instead ... These are no vintage machines by any means ! : | Anyone on here ever used them ? Please, share your questions or comments. (anyway, more photos and details will follow sooner or later)

Bought one Mini Space portable and compact twin tub washing machine ... 8 Ibs wash tub capacity with spin dryer that can accomodate 5 lbs loads Washer Model XPB36-1288SA Item weight: about 30 pounds Seems that this kind of twin tub washer is gaining in popularity, being of special...

Turquoise and pink ... ... washers & dryers : I say *Wow* !

Thanks for sharing, guys ... ... 60 years of the famous Hoovermatic, yeah, that really is something ! Being a fan, myself, of the good old Hoover twinnie (most notably for me in its various north american incarnations), i can just say 'congrats' to everyone involved in that cheerful...

washing machine for sale Speed Queen 'twin tub' Beautiful color http://www.kijiji.ca/v-laveuse-secheuse/thetford-mines/laveuse-essoreuse-speed-queen-en-bonne-condition/1252037387?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

4 vane agitator - does a great job btw: the spinner of the Simp is larger than the Oov's (about 9 inches dimension versus 7''1/2 under the rim, inside compartment, thus different spin mat sizes)

Dear John, Interesting subject. I DO have a Simplicity, 'Supertwin', and I also make use of a Oovie as well. Personally, I like both. Of course, the Simp is far less noisy (Launderess is right) and causes zero tangle. My intermittent use of the little Oov, which is fun to use though, tells me...

Maytag Satellite (for the record) :

... And, last but not least, this one ! BREAKING NEWS --- BREAKING NEWS --- BREAKING NEWS --- BREAKING NEWS --- Just found that great looking Constellation vacuum on Kijiji (Dec. 2016). Stainless steel finish, 'silver' color with black handle and bumper... Very reminiscent to the Satellite...

Yes, Petek, I agree with you. The powerful air flow exhaust from the motor tends to blow the dust all around the house so that you can either vacuum it (succion) or send it all in the air! One interesting fact also is the motor of the Connie was, more or less, the same motor which came to...

And the vacuums ... Here's a pic of my collection back in Nov. 2012 : (Miele S6 Contour [the red one]; Hoover Celebrity [the saucer]; four Connies [Model 446, Model 858 [two variants] and the all-white finish Model S3341])

Soon followed by that one ... ('Rinse O Matic' twin tub, Hoover Model 632) :

It all began in July 2012 ... ... With that beautiful machine, found on Les Pac : (Hoover twin tub washing machine)

Another one from my modest collection ... Model 446 (Manufactured in Canada by Hoover) :
