A Baycrest branded Hoover twin tub washer

Help Support :
This Baycrest (Hoover) twinnie is a very basic model, simple in design. Gives excellent results, especially on getting the clothes well spun. I use the spin basket for rinsing prior to final spin. By comparison, way different in use from a 'standard' fully automatic washing machine. Using a twin tub you get the impression of really doing (participating actively to) the laundry.
Ah Baycrest! The harvest gold range and refrigerator in my parent's kitchen were Baycrests. I don't know exactly when the brand started but it was 1979 when Beaumark replaced the Baycrest name. This was at the same time the Bay took over the Simpson's department store chain.
I remember seeing these twin tubs on display at the Bay in Dorval where we always shopped!

Harvest Gold Baycrest fridge
Paul,
Heres the pic of an old Baycrest fridge. Yes these appliances were real beauties in their time - they had that sort of a seventies 'classic' look
I guess just like the Hoover washer the ranges, fridges, etc., were branded names too?

Baycrest Fridge
Wow! That's it! Circa 1974 - thanks for posting the picture.
The Baycrest ranges, refrigerators and dishwashers of that era were all made by Westinghouse. I don't ever recall seeing a washer or dryer with the Baycrest brand, though...

... And I just realized there were also Baycrest (branded name) vacuums.
Didn't know that!
Of Baycrest I can remember though one of their sewing machines circa 1976
Nope, I too never seen washers or dryers with their badge.
Heres a rare pic of an old Baycrest canister:

The Fridge AND The Washer
One day when I was a very small child, Mom and Dad had to buy a new fridge. So we went to The Bay.
They bought a Frost-Free Baycrest fridge like the one pictured above in Avocado Green.
Just before we were getting ready to leave, over near the washers, a Demo lady was filling a Baycrest (Hoover) Twin Tub washer for an instore demonstration.
It was the same style as yours unclejohn.
Since my Parents were NOT shopping for a new washing machine, I did NOT get to stay and see it in action.
Thanks for the sweet pics-she's a beauty!!!
