I can remember my grandma used to have a washer just like this one, maybe it was the same, I’m not sure, but it was just like this one. I can remember staying at their house years ago in the school holidays and waking up in the morning to the sound of the washing machine. I’d love helping her do the laundry and then putting the clothes in the spinner and turning the knob. I love the sound the machine and the pump makes when it’s working, it brings back memories. Good times.
X hi Roger I found that video absolutely fascinating I loved hearing all about the different vacuum cleaners I myself have a hoover constellation from the early 1960s I loved hearing you flicking through all the magazines and the delight in your voice when you saw something that your mum’s had in the past. I love all electrical appliances myself old washing machines and vacuum cleaner is absolutely great video thanks Jeff.
back at the time Toshiba really made some great machine like this, truely Japanese style and quality... now Toshiba appliances has been owned by Midea since 2017, many front load washers has been made by Midea since 2018 and top load washers since 2020, outside Japan only that did not happen. so sad that inflation also affects the quality of making the machines
Not much different to my large costway twin tubs. I note that there is no hot water heater on the Toshiba either. Far more people have twin tubs in Asia than automatics, and they wash far better. When hot, the main wash is used for bedding and towels. As it is cooled down, it is then used for whites and then coloureds. It is a far more efficient way to do the wash and it uses hot water from the hot water tank (and doesn't take in cold water to heat); and the wash water can be reused (automatics always pump that away each cycle); which is far more environmentally friendly. They can run through an entire wash in the same time it takes to run a half hour load in an automatic machine. My step mom used hers for 30 years and never gave her twin tub up (it was an old hotpoint).
I recall in the 70s and 80s 4kg 4,5kg was considered "small" and 5kg "large" family capacity. Today we have up to 20kg twin tubs. Have you ever washed king size doonas (duvets) or blankets in a twin tub?
I wish they still made the premium twin tubs, I would love one with this quality. Now all we can get new is HE, Bs, with cheap computer control which is only a failure point, they don't wash as well, no way they can run a 15 min wash and be done. The twin tubs a label now are small and cheap for the most part, and seem to be made off the same design no matter what Chinese company they claim to be product of.
Mattie17 thanks for sharing.Twintubs of the 70s 80s were unique. We grew up with Hitachi 1986 bought new. Still going strong
This is amazing. I have never seen a twin tub washer with a recirculation pump before. Very cool.💯🎉
