This is my Hoovermatic De Luxe twin tub, a machine once common in the UK, but increasingly rare now. Instead of a paddle agitator, the Hoover uses 'Pulsator Boiling Action', and each wash takes a maximum of only four minutes, less for synthetics and delicates. I had to replace the hoses and heater element when I got it, and also had to carry out a repair to the outlet control valve, but this machine is now in good working order, and I'm making sure I look after it properly!
