That’s a relabeled GE combo.

There’s no need for white and blue lightif you buy the right LED bulbs. 2700 Kelvin or lower is perfect for indoor lighting.

This looks better.

That is 80 - 90 kilograms

Stephan contacted me again. The seal was totally gone. He replaced it by a DASL NBR 70. 9.52 x 19.05 x 6.35mm.

Very nice set. Does the washing machine have temperature settings between 60 and 90 degrees?

The first battery in my Smart lasted 10 years.

Thermostatic shower and bath valves are the standard here. I think no new houses have other valves. They have two knobs, one for the temperature and the other for the amount of water. My previous apartment had one too, so I’m showering with them for 24 years now. I wouldn’t to go back to another...

The American Milky Way is the same as a Mars bar here. Our Milky Way doesn’t have the caramel layer. Our Milky Way is much lighter. In the commercial was said children could it a Milky Way before dinner and it wouldn’t ruin their appetite.

John, Robert mentioned a 50Hz/220 Volt motor in his first response, so who knows. Nowhere in the ads a spin speed is mentioned so we can only guess about that. To end the story about the American Frigidaires in the Netherlands, 1960 is the last year the American set is shown in an ad of the...

Sean, directly after above message from me you post a long off topic reply. That’s funny at it’s best. That you don’t see why that made people laugh shows you have no sense of humour.

In 1960 a new machine is introduced, a semi automatic. The name Aline is probably french, so it may be made there too. At the bottom of the ad an automatic washer and dryer is shown. Obviously a Frigidaire set with a Filtrator dryer.

The Frigidaires sold overhere were probably imported from the USA like other American whitegoods. Frigidaire was especially well known here for their fridges. The Dutch word “koelkast” wasn’t used much. A lot of people used the name Frigidaire (pronounced in French!) for the product, even when...

That translation is correct. Amazing!

Here’s a small ad in the newspaper from April 23 1957. A private person is selling a Frigidaire washer and a Hamilton dryer. This is the first time I see a Hamilton appliance mentioned in a newspaper.

I found another ad with an older model Unimatic. I hope you don’t mind I post this here… This ad is from March 17th 1956.

Amazing Chet how you always know how to go off topic.

I have no idea how many Unimatics were sold here. This is the first time I have seen an ad with this machine. Actually the same ad turned up a few times more, also in 1959. Westinghouse frontloaders are the most advertised American washers. But GE and Bendix were sold here too in the fifties...

Robert’s thread about the introduction of automatic washers in the newspapers made me have a look again at the Dutch archives. I have posted a few threads with Dutch ads in the past. The first ads are from 1953. I looked a bit furder and much to my amazement I found a 1958 advertisement with a...
