Meet Ups

Hi David & Mathew & Richard, glad to hear a good time was had by all..!!Dont they look great together, although these where out at the same time as the last twinny , the T5090, the colour on the seperates is a lot better than that grey stuff they used on the twinny...never understood that, Hoover where famous for the "Colour Pallette" and then produced that, but these are a dusky pinky grey which is fab...

Gary , yes they did come with a "Hoover Bridging Link" which was the plastic unit to clamp them both together on the top and make it like a twinny.. funny because in the seventies they came with the spinners & washers but there are hardly any to be seen, anybody have one?? only trouble was because of the controls and spinner arm you couldnt set them up like a twinny!!, spinner had to be on the left...heres the 60`s models!!

twinnies

They are briiliant Mike i totally agree, something about buying them seperately, what a good idea and then being able to bridge them together.......such an nice idea

Dont they look great together...

The final series of twosome, in the Logic grey - very smart indeed.

Really pleased to see pictures of these two models the way they should be - working together.

Glad you are relaxing Mathew and having a bit of 'me' time.
Have a great time off.

Paul

Hoover Twosome

Yje brige to connect the spinner to single tub machine was actually a good marketing ploy by Hooverfor anyone who had bought either the washing machine (probably with a wringer) could "upgrade" to a twinnie by adding the appropriate matching machine. There was also the "advantage" of being able to store the two parts separatly if needed - although what is not mentioned is the need for two 13/15amp plugs to run them - fetch teh adaptor and we are back to "valeria Barlow territory" LOLOL.

In gact there were two varieties of bridge, a "swallow" one for the early machines when the spinner lid was hinged on the left (as shown in Mike's pic) and a wider one for the later machines which covered the drain hose as shown in Matthew's setup. In that case the wash tub is at 90 degrees to what might have been preseumed to be its natural operating position i.e. the back of the wash tub is on to the side of the spinner

"Join Them Together To Form a Luxuary TwinTub"

Al, i`d forgotten about the two sizes, yes you are right , my Nans grey bridge was indeed smaller, then seeing my Grans 70`s model was in black and yes was a lot wider....I was very dissapointed that she had a Frigidaire spinner and couldnt bridge it....

Saying that my Nan with the matching 60`s grey set didnt use the bridge either as the the spinner was placed in front of the sink and the washer at right angle to it!!

Also the later 70`s black ones had a lip up at each end so the water was contained when transferring clothes over it!!! For me personally the correct way to use a Hoover is with the activator on the back wall not to the side of you, you`d get drenched with all that water hurling towards you!!!

Rinsing

Dave, you are right. Have tried rinsing with a hose as you would using a twinny and the sodding thing does like to flood!

I do find it suitable for a bucket of comfort/plain water over the contents letting it absorb into the load and then spinning it out. Perhaps not the deep rinsing you were refering to.
