Default Re: Anyone still use a Twintub?

Washday was a lifestyle element which I think some found hard to give up: none more so than my mum, who openly dreaded outliving her last twintub. She didn't, it was still working at her passing in 2011, but she'd heard that automatic machines could take an hour and a half or more over a single load, and nothing could budge her from comparing that very unfavourably with the late model Hoovermatic with which she could polish off a whole week's assorted laundry in a couple of hours.
