Default Re: Anyone still use a Twintub?

My other gran had that Creda spin dryer. When she died in 1977 it ended up coming from Dover to Letchworth where my dad kept it in the garage for occasional use well into the 1990s. We used it occasionally in the summer between the washing machine and the line, and on a handful of occasions when the tumble dryer died and they waited a few weeks to replace it.

It certainly spun clothes dry enough to iron in four minutes. But not the dry we know from a tumble dryer. I wouldn't really want to wear clothes from it...but in the days of 600 spin washing machines or twin tubs it must have cut line/horse drying time by 70%.
