Hoover Compact Washer- never seen anything like this before

[valvashon]

Not sure why this popped up in my Marketplace feed but here you go. Seems to be a Hoover compact washing machine but what's that other part? The dryer? Seller says it's all there but I feel like something is missing. You can't just put your clothes in the stainless steel part and have them come out dry. Or does it wash and dry all on the one side? Capacity looks pretty small, like a slightly bigger swimsuit dryer that you'd see in a pool locker room.

Ephrata Washington is essentially in the very center of the state.

EDIT: I just watched a YouTube video or two. That's the washer in the stainless part and the dryer in the "drum". So it is all there. Seems like a fine appliance if live in a 200 square foot apartment, you own about a dozen pieces of clothing and need to wash them often.

You can easily wash 3 large laundry baskets of laundry in 1 hour in a twin tub washer like that Hoover.  They really hold a lot more than you’d think.  The process is not unlike the process of washing with a wringer washer.  The difference is that you extract the water from the laundry in the spinner on the right of the washing tub instead of using a wringer.

 

In the 60’s and 70’s if you lived in an  apartment a twin tub like that little Hoover would save you from having to go the the laundromat.
