Hi All

My mum had a Servis Supertwin up until about 1990. She could get through a weeks worth of washing for a family of four in a morning. The spinner span at something like 3000RPM, so clothes only had to be on the line for an hour before they were dry enough to be put away or ironed(we didn't have an airing cupboard so this was very handy).
With only one tub of water used for all the loads (minus rinsing) it certainly had green credentials. It was replaced by a Servis Quartz automatic when they had their kitchen refitted. I remember mum being slightly disappointed at how wet the clothes came out of that compared to the twin tub.

Cheers

Mike
