New World Its a Creda, although it started out life as the Parnall Autodry in around 1967. Interesting to see the Hoover dryer hinged on the right, over here they were usually hinged on the left

Scotland You could well have seen freezers made in Scotland. It appears that in 1972 Scots company called Norfrost was established, manufacturing a couple of small size chest freezers. I think they might have had an upright freezer too but that was just their name put on an Italian made unit...

Glass Oven Door Inner glass oven doors were largely standard from the mid 1950s for UK manufactured electric ovens which had side opening doors, drop down doors either had windows in them or were made from toughened glass (black) which you could see through if the oven light was on. As far as I...

Tricity Marquis Stove Once again I see a posting and I think "How did that get there?" A few years ago there was a posting for a Tricity upright freezer in either USA or Canada. Over the years I have seen various UK manufactured items from this period or earlier that were sold in the US or...

This booklet cropped up in my ebay feed. Seems to be produced by the Automatic Washer Company of Newton IA. See Page 6 for details of how the agitator and be used upside down. Note: This is a US listing, not UK...

Bosch It looks rather sumilar to an AEG model that I have, see the attached pictures in the AEG has a motor as part of the handle assembly. From memory I have been able to adapt a standard Hoover bag to fit my AEG, I am afraid you may have to get creative to get new bags for your Bosch. The...

Fridge Freezers Jack I presume you are looking for 50/50 style. I had a look at UK sites of Marks Electrical, AO.com and Currys. Seems like the only thing that is going to come anywhere near what you want are Logics from Currys. At least they are not too dear even if not a "name". I doubt you...

I dont know the exact date when it was launched but I believe the Hoover washer was based on the Monitor wringer washer which would have been around in at least the mid 1930s. This had the impellor on the side of the tub

Dorothy I have replied to you email Al

Well done there Anthony, its looking showroom fresh there :)

What came first Was actually the Hoovermatic. But Hoover were clever enough to realise that they had thousands of wringer machines in the market place and, whilst no one was going to ditch a significant investment in a machine maybe only two or three years old, they could get similar facilities...

Laundress There is not nearly enough water in the machine, especially for a load like towels, if it had been filled to the proper level roll over would have been fine. By the way, in the opening video its a wondre he was not pulling rags out of the machine after 30 minutes agigation, 12 would...

Launch Brochure In many ways this machine opened up the home laundry market in the UK. There were machines pre WW2 of course but it was very much a fledgling market, much more so than in US, pre WW2 the vacuum cleaner was the first appliance of choice, due in no small part to Hoover's extensive...
