IYears ago Maytag made "twin" cylinder two stroke engine for their
washing machines. Both cylinders fired at the same time. I think it was
more of a gimmick, just like the Aeromotor 8 stroke cycle engine.

Maytag made about a half-million of those twins from 1937 to 1952.
Very reliable and smooth running. Probably one of the greatest engine
designs of all time.
