Hoover Spin a Rinse

Congratulation on the spinner David, well worth getting it and you can try it and see, just been talking to John and will sort out a Hotpoint for you to try etc, Hotpoint is quieter but you cant beat the rattle of the Hoover, and the hotpoint spins the fastest at 3,100, never fathomed why the spinrinses spin slower than the twinnies etc

Hotpoint Pic

Al, Hotpoint didnt make the spinner with auto rinse unfortunatley, that would have been a good feature, just the timer etc, although as it had a solid tub you could fill it and slosh the clothes around if required!!!

Great pic, where they family machines??

Got it!

Hi guys

It's home - and outside it looks tidy (pics to follow when I find the camera). It seemed to go fine to start with, but then started to make a loud squealing noise - any ideas Oovaah experts?

PS - Mathew - can you text me your mobile no - I've lost it...ta!

Thank God it went to a good home!

Phew!

Congrats David on a lovely little purchase.
Life wouldnt be simple if things worked out of the box, so I am sure that the squealing noise will be just one of those niggles that will soon get sorted.

Looks great visually - roll on the photos!

squeeling spinner

Hello David could just be lack of use, sometimes dried up powder deposits can build up on the shaft, try it with water in it to lube up the shaft a bit

Sadly not family photos

The picture was taken in 1995 as an appliance collectoir I was introduced to in Sheffield, the first time I actually came across someone else with that same interest. I snapped a few pictures, on that occasion of items I had not seen for a long time. Here is the other washer pic I took then, amother one definatly on the "want" list

last of the twosomes

Hi, had a great afternoon with David and Richard, the new hoover spinarinse, gave me the nudge to both visit Davids new country retreat and to pair up my W3590 with the corresponding spinner.

Spent saturday evening oiling everything, changing all those perished hoses and a clean and waxing up, so have a couple of photos you may be interested in seeing.

pride before the fall

so filled up and a short wash of some towels, before further heating up to about 70c as davids thermometer showed, then start the wash and screatching noise, the pump tyre had softend with the heat and come off, a quick repair didn't work but it kept on working for the rest of the wash, though not sounding healthy. But panic not, just climbed into the back room and found a replacent within 30 seconds, so all will be working properly very soon.

Sufficed to say the spinarinse worked perfectly, both rinsing and spinning, and yes the tub cover was in place whislt the tub was emptied.

Thanks for a fun afternoon David, now back to hand washing those woolies.

Bendix 7147

Hi Al.

Love the photo of the Bendix 7147. My Gran had the same machine, use to love sitting in front of the door watching it wash. After that came the 7147B.

Very welcome visitors

Hi to all

We had a very pleasant afternoon here in the sticks - once 'he who must be obeyed' had disappeared to watch a film, we set to getting the two-some up and running, and indeed they did work very neatly (give or take a rather noisy pump wheel). Gary - the 'twosome' did come with an optional 'bridge' but i haven't ever seen one...we just splashed all over the floor instead!!

Thanks to Mathew and Richard for coming over - leisurely lunch on veranda in great sunshine, and much talk about the latest news!

By the way, in the back-ground of the pic, you can see the tiny laundry room - from the left, the Belfast sink, the Zanussi top-loader and the Hotpoint 9605

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

 

[matchboxpaul]

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.

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.
