Do you remember the sounds of these washing machine ticking and whirring away in the kitchen? I put together a short film after getting together with other collectors and finally getting the series of Hoover Keymatics together for the first time ever!! Here`s the first Hoover Keymatic Which one did you have?

How many of you remember standing over your faithful twintub washing machine on a monday morning with steam rising  and the smell of Persil wafting through the house. Take a look at the Philips twinny using its 3kw heater to boil a few bath towels. As the pressure build up around the heater it forces the boiling water up the agitator tube like a percolator and sprays it over the boiling towels. Let us know what your memories where of washday?  Do you remember using this washing machine?

Do you remember when your Gran used a washing machine like this? The rythmical sound of the agitator back & forth, back & forth. The steam rising into the kitchen, the smells and aroma of washing powders such as Ariel, Persil, Tide and Surf. And the clothes being squeezed through the big rollers, squeezing all that hot soapy water out. Take a look and let us know your memories. https://www.flickr.com/photos/chestermikeuk/sets/72157601117659982
