What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I love the Servis Superheat - my Mum had one of those. Remembered its chunky mechanics and its solid British-Thomson-Houston motor and the smell of warm oil in the motor/gearbox area where the wringer was stored.
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
Mums Lavamat Princess-S washer (1972 to 1993)

What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Maintained all of our appliances at home while growing up and also earned pocket money as a teen going on my bike fixing washers and hoovers for neighbours and relations. Lots of memories I will be looking forward to sharing on this site.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
Worked summer 1990 in London, while off from college, at Kevlin Service Centre in Bradmore Park Road, Hammersmith reconning Hoover upright vacs and traded-in Hoover washing machines. Kevlin were a major Hoover agent in London that time. Worked at a Nilfisk dealer in Limerick from 1987 to 1989 before returning to college.
