What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
The Clunk-Click-ClunckClunk-Click of the agitator moving rythmically back and forth in mums Servis Supertwin Twin Tub.

My gran paying us 1 penny a sheet to stand at the back of her huge Hotpoint Countess Wringer Washer catching the clothes coming out of the wringer and then putting them into her shiny copper CREDA Debonair Spin-Dryer.

The smell of OMO wafting throughout the house in clouds of steam on washdays.

Causing the belt on my nans cleaner to fray so she would send me to the Hoover Center in town to get new ones, and I got the chance to oggle the latest vacs, Washers & Dryers.
