Love em!
Hi Tuthill,
I love my Haier twinnie it is so simple in operation,fast, efficient,economical and very water efficient as I wash a load and place it in the spinner, I just spin the soapy water back into the washtub for another load.
It is my machine for day to day loads and I use the L.G. Top loader for really large loads and doonas etc.

Nothing Better!!
The UK is probably the home of the twinny, they lasted here well into the 90`s, automatics really only started to get a hold in the late 70`s really...lots of machines are still around today, the three main make where Hoover, Servis & Hotpoint...usually a 6lb washload, Hotpoint had 7lbs, variable heater from warm up to 95d & boiling!! all topped off with a fast spin, Hotpoint being the fastest at 3,100rpm almost ready to iron...
Here is the first Hoover twin tub the model 3314, first produced in 1957, my model is 50yrs old this month...Yay!!!!
6lb Load, Heater- warm to boiling, 4 min wash timer, Hoover famous Boiling Water Action, pulstor spinning disc wash action, Spin Speed 2,300rpm....

Love it!
I got my Twinnie last fall - a Easy Spindryer. Its enormous and after fixing the diverter valve, its been a lot of fun to play with.
Yesterday I did the first load of spring. Rags had been gathering up in the washtub for most of the winter - it does dual duty as the hamper out in the garage. It takes an eternity to fill the large washtub with warm water from my little 110v heater, but after a bit, it was churning away with gusto.
I noticed that if i was at lower water levels, the agitator in this machine picks up water with its vanes and nearly squirts it up in the air - fun to watch. After hitting the right water level the lid goes on and the beast quietly works its way though the load. Sadly, the timer is long since dead. After a bit, the machine picks up its neat "old, warm & oily" scent as it warms up.
Stop the agitation, switch the rags to the spin can, flip the drain faucet to the sink, open the diverter valve to drain and start the spinner. In a moment, flip the fill faucet to the spin can and rinse as we drain. After the washtub is empty, we flip the fill faucet back, rinse out the grit and suds in the tub, and turn the water off. The spinner keeps up for a bit, and then its all over and off to the dryer.
I like automatics, but these are fun too. Shame I'm not going to be able to fit The Big Easy in the new house... anyone want to trade for a little Hoover twinny?
