More play
Running the washer without any clothes in it--I love it!
Whenever I try to stuff the Hoover TT (one-way impeller mid-way up the tub's the back wall) the load stalls, while yours keeps on truckin'
Guess the side-winder's the way to go.
Wondering what the wide open port is in the right rear of the washtub.
Kic is back. Nice

Great videos! How is the cleaning ability of these machines? How do you rinse the laundry? In the spinner or in the wash tub?
Looking forward to the secret machine!

Omo
Yes I agree, Omo has always been around and goes hand in hand with twin tub washing, however, I use Bio Classic for Auto washing and that's they way we do our laundry, automatically... the twins are just for fun and I always end up giving them away or selling them at a loss, LOL
Have a look on you tube for the Omo parody!
Louis, If I washed our regular laundry using a twin tub then I would most probably wash everything first and then repeat the process for rinse, which is why I don't use them for that purpose ; ) see the new thread!

OMO
bio classic isnt a bad choice. not the best but not bad. we used to use omo hand wash in our froont loaders- worked very well. i see you from cape town. here in jhb i discovered that the broadacres super spar in fourways sells purex laundry liquid. it works better than anythng i've ever used. try find it in cape town. i also found that the new skip perfect white also works very well. i saw a defy 13 kg top loader in your video. what other machines do you have?

The port, if it's like most Japanese twin-tubs, is connected to the drain pump. This is for overflow rinsing, and some models also claim it as a safety feature. When water goes down the port and fills to an extent, it triggers the electric drain pump. The Danby DTT420 is still like this, although they mention it to be a safety device; in the event you leave the water running, it will start pumping it out. It was very handy with very linty loads as I used the feature a couple of times. The Danby is based on a similar platform as this.

Those little Hitachi's are really quite neat. We had some Japanese unit sold over here in the US in the 70's-90's but I rarely see any. We had Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba to name some as well as many rebranded versions. These little things can get pretty fancy for a twin tub, which is neat.
I remember combing through a consignment store about 10 years ago now and ran across a white twin tub from what looked like the 80's with gobs of buttons and a pressurized fill valve. It had a sink coupler much like a portable automatic and water level buttons. It had a switch for "Suds - Drain" as the machine had one permanent drain hose. It had 3 timers, one for wash, rinse and spin. The rinse was for overflow I gathered. It had sort of a smoked glass thing going on with the lids and lots of lights. They wanted $150 for and at the time I thought that was way too much for me. In hindsight I wish I had bought it, I have yet to see anything similar to it. It seems like it was a Hitachi as well, but for some reason Tatung pops into my head as well.
