What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I have found a Huebsch gas dryer and oh my is it ever the best thing ! So have also found a Alliance/speed queen AKA JLA88 front load washer which is going to replace a whirlpool FL it will sit next to the dryer doing the large items that I cannot fit in the Miele and AEG that are in the bathroom. The bigger ones are living in the laundry shed along with all the oldies I have collected. Update I know I will be berated for this but I have no longer got the Speed Queen washer it just did not suit my needs so for now its back to the old Whirlpool Dream Space its the same size load as the SQ but has a faster spin and is not so user unfriendly, I believe my model SQ was an institutional model as is had 5 cycles and 3 options and I just did not like the way it didnt spin between rinses. Now this is what I found out and at least I can say I had one :)
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
I remember we had a Servis twintub back in 65
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Too many to list have either used, owned or repaired nearly every type of UK washing machine from 70s onwards still dabble now and then.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
Back in the late 80s early 90s I repaired all washing machines and tumble dryers for a job do not do it so much now as arthritis prevents me.
