Nice piece of history, thank you for sharing!

Rodrigo, have you taken care of these machines for a long time? years?

Is the Lourdes Sanctuary like a convent or school?

Those machines look very OLD! Do you think they got them new?

Very interesting thing to share, Rodrigo!

And of course they look almost exactly like the side-box Whirlpools made in the USA during the mid-to-late 60's. They were--ARE-- great machines. Maybe a member has one of them and would post a pic.

Rodrigo, could you translate the words "Brastemp" and "Plenomatica" ? Thanks !

What do you wash in those machines?

Great pics! Just about everyone here has "old laundry"...

"Brastemp" is the number 1 appliances brand here in Brasil (till today), i'ts from Whirlpool! "Bras" remembers Brasil and "temp" is of temperature! that's how the brand were created! "Plenomatica" is the model of this washer... it is a mix of the words "pleno" that means Full and "automatica" that means automatic! so, plenomatica remembers "fully automatic"!

Beautiful architecture and great pics of the laundry! That old laundry sink looks like a lot of work!

Thanks so much for sharing.

It is so cool to see Whirlpool in other countries and how similar they are to here.

Thanks again.

Perfect--Thank You

Whirlpool still makes the best washers in America

Cool that you're "broadcasting" from a Lourdes shrine because Brastemp/Whirlpools are truly miracle machines--over 50 years old and still surging away
