Hinged spin cover. No faucets. Timer. Anyone want to take a stab at dating it and where it stood in the model lineup? I'm going with 1949. That it was featured in an ad suggests it was a higher model. So does the timer. But no faucets suggests a lower one. There's so much texture to the history of Easy.
Wow
thats my machine. I'll have to try the 3 minute spin rinse since its such a "sensational new washer discovery"!
why doesn't that picture show the on board faucets???

Brad, Arilab, John THIS IS THE MISSING LINK IN THE EVOLUTION
This is the Easy--perhaps the last Easy--before the faucets.
This brilliant engineering concoction claims to have water entering through the bottom of the rinse cone.
This is so exciting--BUT no one has this model and no one's seen one. Just look at that thing rinse. Sweet Jesus!
Got to run and get the magnifier. I did not dream this. Thank you so much, Brad. I'll be right back.

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS ???!!!
JUST TURN A TAP and clear rinse water rushes up thru the hollow cone into the whirling basket.
WHIRLING NEEDLE SPRAY, etc.
We all have our thing and this is mine. This contradicts all Easy doctrine. NO faucetless lidded Easies have a spray cone. This one DOES! It's nuts. I thought I dreamed all this stuff up in a lustful imaginings. But here it is. Oh God what I woouldn't give to see one of these. Imagine watching the water coming up the cone. Incredible!
Trying to figure out how they did it, while admiting it must have had issues, since this model made so brief an appearance before the faucets were added. How did the wash tub fill?--not counting manually. Did it fill through the spinner, draining into the washtub? So many questions.
Well, guys and gals, meet my Holy Grail.

Wouldn't it have been amazing
if the glass Easy you and John won on ebay were the missing link? I would be your prisoner for sure.
With all the knowledge and experience here, and the fact that this model has not been seen by anyone, makes the outlook grim, but hey, it's Automatic Washer,
the place where miracles happen regularly because of the intense friendly energy.

I've noticed in product literature over the years that the artist's rendering may not perfectly match the actual item. The pictured machine may not be identical to what the consumer ended up with (well, for sure the tub windows) so there may be more left to discover about this particular model, although spraying up from the bottom suggests faucets were not intended.

Exactly
Before Brad supplied the text I thought it was just ad hype. Remember when we were kids and found out through Darren on "Bewtiched" that ad men lie. I'll never forget that watershed moment. I thought that this was another example of the "big lie" technique.
But this can't be a fake. Theorizing that this was there first attempt at needle cone jet spray rinsing, which presented engineering problems too hard to remedy, so they had a Eureka! moment realizing that faucets were the way to go. Confident that we will get some answers in the future. So excited about this! Anybody else?

Glad I found the old ad copy!
Hey Mike...so glad that was the one you were looking for. It is a mystery indeed, and as I'm fascinated by twin-tubs in general, keep me posted!

I'm so glad, too, Brad
and thanks again, so very much. And now the quest begins.
Are you the club brother looking for a rubber mat for a Hoover TT?

Is there a video
on this machine? I trying to get a mindset on how this machine works.

I remember the Easy without the faucets.
My aunt had one, and I was fascinated at how it worked. She kept the washer in the pantry and wheeled it out to the kitchen sink when it was washday.
Technically, yes, the way to fill the wash tub was to run water into the spinner. And, with the motor running the pump, you'd place the drain hose in the wash tub and the pump would move the water from the spinner to the wash tub. This method of fill fascinated me, but my aunt thought it was too wasteful to have the motor running with no action in the tub, so she generally filled the washer tub with the hose from the kitchen sink.
During the wash/rinse/spin period, she simply hung the drain hose over the lip of the sink for drainage.
Today, in her upper 80's, she doesn't remember having this machine. But I remember it well.

Thanks, Jerry. Great to hear this!
You were so young, but can you remember anything else. In the ad you can see the red hose connected to the faucet. Do you remember where it connected to the machine and did you ever see it spin rinsing? I know it was a long time ago, but so far you are the only witness to this unique model.
Any other images you can summon would be very much appreciated.
John, no extent video as far as I know. Wouldn't that be something!

Hoover spin mat
Yes, Mike, that is me. I still have the original (which probably dates to the early 60s) but the rubber is deterioriated so really need a new one.

If my eyes could work in playback mode I could show you exactly how the Easy worked. Well, grandma's anyway. There are so many variations, part of what makes them fascinating.

Hey Mickeyd . . .
. . . I don't remember how the water hose connected to the Easy. I was too fascinated with the front of the machine and how it worked. I do remember that my aunt's sink had one faucet through which both hot and cold water ran. There was only the one hose that connected to the sink.
But I do remember the cone in the spinner. The water would come out through the cone whether or not it was spinning. And, of course, I wanted to open the lid when it was rinsing and we both got soaked. She also showed me how the spin basket could easily be removed with the clothes in it so that it could be taken out to the line to hang up the clothes to dry.
The timer on the front rang a bell when it was time to spin and rinse a load.
I was born in 1944 and would have been 6 or 7 when I saw this Easy washer.
I have an Easy now and find it the most fun machine to use.
I have never seen another Easy like the one my aunt had.
Fascinating thread.

"I have never seen another Easy like the one my aunt had
And you may be the only one we'll ever know who has seen one.
I always pull the basket out and take the load to the deck to hang. That way, it'll never get stuck, because once they do, they're bears to get out.
Thanks, Jerry. What fun it must have been to see that thing squirt.
