Hoover Twosome.
Does anyone remember them?
Did your Mum do the washing in those two Hoover machines? I'd love to hear some memories.

Re: Hoover Twosome.
Hi,
We had one when we first got married 46 years ago. I think we traded in for one of those ne fangled automatic machines. Cheers, Pete.

Re: Hoover Twosome.
Yes! My mother had the pair new in the late 1960s and they soldiered on until 1999!

Re: Hoover Twosome.
Yes! My mother had the pair new in the early 1960s. When I bought my first house in the late 1970s I bought a pair of the square sided type plus another for spares from the totters at the local tip. Real recycling. Bob
