Ahh...I got it, Mark!! The 'short spin : rinse' is the timer setting for delicate spinning action between two rinsings of delicates as well as for the final spin of these items, wheras the setting 'rinsing' is for the normal spinning-time in between two rinsing cycles of normal clothes. And the...

Hi Marc! Didn't know that Hotpoint made Spin-A-Rinses, too!? Here in Germany we only had those from HOOVER! Can you give an explanation for the switch's marks? What does SHORT SPIN : RINSE mean, for example? Thanx, Ralf

I never have that problem as we do not use softener anymore! In TLs and Twinnies there's no need for it - the washing is much smoother and softer than when washed in a drum - less rubbing! Ralf

Hello Mickeyd Hi Mickeyd! Yesss, they are! And I think that the most stylish version was definetely the version to be seen on Hoover3060's pix. The later version, I have at home, imported from the UK in 1989 because this type of machines had disappeared from the German market since the 1960s...

Have a look at this! Who's gonna save it? Ralf http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290164283651&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:DE:1

sorry had no time to be here again before... Sorry, had no time to be here for three days! To you TWINNIEFAN/Steve. I totally agree with you and want to say thanks for typing your opinion here, too! I have three twinnies and I really LOVE to use them! To you STEVET: You are 100% right in...

Wow - what a beautiful machine - that is really worth it to be collected!! Washing with a Twinny is the most fun to have! ...and the fastest! Ralf

Germany is calling again...lol Well, Rex Oliver, you are right, but have to add that washing a car in Germany isn't aloud anymore as long as you do not have a grease and oil catching gadget in your drain-system like petrol-stations have here.....!! And.....I own and use THREE twin-tubs for my...

what we all forgot... There's one aspect we all forgot here, to me! Why on earth, if trying to avoid unnecessary waste of energy to heat up the wash-water, don't we install as fast as possible solar panels on our roofs or facades of the houses we live in to get warm or even hot water WITHOUT...

my comment... Partly right, Launderess! If you overload a drum-washer (FL) the wash-action will be hampered but textiles will have the gentlest washing available - laudry will only tunr round without any falling - and stay unwashed - whereas the washing action in an overloaded agitato-washer...

my comment... Hi all of you! Just a short comment by myself! Liberator1509 and 2DrumsAllergy/David you are soooo right to say so! I totally agree with you! My mate has still his FL (h-axis-washer) and I have meanwhile collected six other machines which are ALL tub-washers (TwinTubs, SingleTub...

my comment... Hi to all of you! Here in Germany so called FLs (actually it's better to talk about tumbler-washers or h-axis washers than of FLs as there are many TLs that have the horizontal drum tumble action as well - see message from "vivalalavatrice" above) are the most popular and the only...

Interesting to read all your wishes! I'd love to get a "super twinnie" that can fill to the required level with the correct temperature and does a post-heating if the required temperature is not available from the tab directely. Then the machine should have the oportunity to use it with an...

and what about the energy rating? Well.....maybe it's funny to see the machine in operation, but can't imagine that it does really a good cleaning job just with warm water and a bit liquid detergent that is sprayed arround like a lawn-sprayer with low pressure at about 45°-60°C!? So, to get...

Yes, it is said, that in Germany they try to forbid the USE of them, too. But EU-regulations have allowed the use of any item that is legal in any member-country of the European Community in all others, too. So they cannot charge you for that! Switzerland authotities forbid the use as well, but...

Paper and stuff Here in Germany we have to seperate all rubbish for many years now to recycle as much as possible! We have an extra bin each for PAPER, bins on parking plots for green, brown and white GLASS, special collecting bags for PLASTIC & METAL, often an extra for BIO-WASTE (such as...

Spray rinses Hi Funguy! To me it depends on the "way" how spray rinses are processed. The spray-rinse in my SpeedQueen TL isn't very effective but the two or three spray-rinses in my Hotpoint TwinTub Supermatic de luxe T9414 do a very good job. Same as in the Hoovermatic TwinTub 3301L and in...

Welcome! Welcome to our little "congregation"!! Greetings from over the big pond from "Merry Ol' Germany", too!! Ralf

The expression 'pulling someone's leg' is something I know, 'yanking someone's chain' I've never heard of yet! Smile! We say colloquially in German: to pull someone through the cocoa (jemanden durch den Kakao/Cacao ziehen) or to be-apple someone (jemanden veräppeln) or, more modern, to be-ass...

Hi Luis, yes her name is Zug (spoken: tsook), well it is not an unusual name in Switzerland or even (South)Germany, is it? There's a town in Switzerland with this name as well and so I guess the name comes from there several hundred years ago when the german speaking part of Switzerland still...
