At long last am doing some new videos of machines in my collection. I am starting off with a budget model Indesit L8 washer from the late 1970s. At the time it was one of the cheapest washers available in the UK. Discovered, new in box, in summer 2022

Looks like it could be Australian, this style of cooker (range) was advertised in the late 1950s and 1960s. The one in the video looks like 1960s to me and could the brand possibly be New World? This brand name was also used in the UK but only on gas cookers. But then we never did have Parnall...

We had one of those You might like to check out Mike's YouTube channel too, WeHadOneOfThose - its on the link https://www.youtube.com/c/WeHadOneOfThose/videos

Mikey I have been looking for a photo of the then Princess Elizabeth's wedding gifts which included special editions Hoover 160 (upright) and the not even launched Hoover 402 (canister) so she actually could have done a sneaky bit of headlight Hoovering :) You are 100% correct about the Hoover...

Thor This machine was manufactured in the UK as well as the US so the machine you are looking at could well have originated in the UK, produced from around 1946 until around 1960 I understand there were three models of this machine. Its a shame it does not come with the dishwasher attachment...

Hoover Loyal Greetings

More Carpet And Upholstry Shampoo And a lady who know the proper way to use her Electrolux vacuum :)

Westinghouse I have checked back through my old kitchen brochures and this style of Westinghouse oven was around from at least 1970 if not slightly before. Whilst drop down doors have their advantages, and seem pretty universal in built ins these days, side opening doors have their advantages...

Double Oven April 1976 but that style was around for a good while

Definately Westinghouse

As Louis says it is a Kenwood, also sold in US a Delongi

Now, before anyone comments I know this is NOT the pilot of the Burns and Allen Show. The start and end seems different to those I remember, could this be when the show went into syndication? Anyway, the point of this posting is Gracie's kitchen with, I believe, Westinghouse range and...

Husqvarna 2000 Sewing Machine 1963 Looks very advanced for the time. Around 2.30 you can see and AEG from load washer, as established back up this thread Husqvarna "badged" AEG washers under their own brand

the video Here is a link the video which should appear in the old thread which has to be watched in YouTube, narration by Richard

Love that Electrolux Film So much to see there, early fridge freezers and upright freezers. Who knew that there would be a tie up between Electrolux and Miele? Are those washers that appear before the Miele manufactured by Electrolux? They look like they may be semi automatic. The little round...

By the wasy, I hope you have fun with your new washer, it’s always fun to see something a bit different

Monitor washers were based on a UK Hoover Design I tremble to contradict you Laundress but I believe the situation is exactly the contrary, that Uk Hoover washers are based on a Monitor design. The story is a bit blurred but I have heard that when Charles Colston attended a Hoover conference...

TrioMatic This Triomatic seems to have been pretty much the last gasp for this style of Bendix washer, variations of which - both automatic and semi automatic - had been produced here from around 1946. Introduced in 1961, by 1964 it was superseded by the Bendix LT (with tumble dryer) and LA (no...

Hoover Shampoo Polisher They were a step well beyond the mechanical driven shampoo "machines" such as that in the video, as I I recall there were only sponges in those whereas you had the rather effective scrubbing action of the Hoover. The drawback for these was you just had to wait for the...

Agitator Washer Of course there was an agitator washer - OK I only watched the video once! The film certainly gave a truth to the expression "better than having to beat the clothes on a rock!" Going back to that agitator machine, i think the wringer was made by Acme - it looks identical to to...
