Heads Up! ~ Hoover Twinnie in Warrington, PA

[hooverwheelaway]

A new belt was palced on it a year ago and parts are still available.

In a perfect world, maybe...

Looks nice otherwise!

Nice Looking Unit

Parts are rare, and hard to come by, but there are some out there. Ebay as well as older appliance repair shops have NOS prolly way back and forgotten on shelves. Myself have a box of NOS parts that I nabbed from fleaBay,so am set.

It does look nice and clean - a later model with the poly spinner basket.

Do you know when they stopped producing these in N. Canton, Fred? I vaguely recall seeing one of the last available, the dial markings were in French and English. Probably mid 80's.

Hoover SplashMatic!!

I saw Warrington, and thought thats mine until I read PA!! (the other Warrington is 30mins from here), nice looking machine, didnt realise they made them with plastic spin drums, I love the metal spinner top, ours where plastic but tubs & spin cans metal...

Come guys, 15hrs left, dont let it go, spares available from UK

hi mike, no taker here, and no more Hoover TT's for me U

I find one like Laundress's gorgeous Stainless Steel washtub. Have you seen hers? Wish they were still available here in the colonies, have only seen them in the motherland. Hope the SS comes with auto rinse, because once you have it, you can't go back--but I'm all harvest gold plastic, with metal lids and spinner.

Greg, I know they still had some in 1981. I have a Tuttle & Rapid newspaper ad from December 3rd, 1981 advertising one for $279 with a note that on the 5th a factory rep will be there for a live demo. Now how many companies today still do that?

I'll kick myself for saying this but Yay for Newspaper Archive and the St Charles County Library for having the subscription to it!

Don't think Hoover twinnies with auto-rinse came with SS tubs, pretty sure Hoover swiched over to poly tubs with the redesign that allow for the auto-rinse feature.

Like any good haus-frau, keep my Hoover TT in great condition by giving her a good wipe dry after using, even taking off the spinner cover to dry underneath. Of course machine is left open for a day or so to air things out, then packed away.

Hoover TT's really are a fun way to whizz thorugh lots of laundry quickly.
