A Vintage AEG, Miele, Aristella and Hotpoint Amethyst

Hi Martin, yes always god to catch up and share the hobby, the more we used and put together the AEG integrated models the more we like,
busy planning the plumbing for our next meet up !!

Cheers Steve, you know what its like, where will it all go, can Roberts one in one out rule really work ha ha....yes, you need strong support britches when moving these beasts..

Vacerator, those models sound so much easier to buy keep and store ha ha...

Louis , thanks for posting the brochures, where they very popular in your country ? I could imagine the only time you would have found them on full display was a high end kitchen designer of store like Harrods over here at the time..

Matty, always good to see you over here and listen to the old appliance family stories !!

Chris, we are going to need more chairs for the fireworks this year ha ha, but great to see new members with the same passion.

Mike, glad you got over to meet some of the motley crew, and yes next time we must do that "Keymatic Workshop" it will be a bring your own and fix it workshop ha ha..

Paul, ta for the brochures, goes to show what was about at the time, very sturdy appliances and as the the name states " Advanced Engineering from Germany" certainly promotes the range well. !! Nowthen can you just dial up that time warp continuum machine...

Ian - glad you enjoyed the unique Philips washer & dryer stack set seat and viewing gallery !!

And as the title says we also had another first (which as well as the Ariston / Colston serarates) we connected up for its first use the Ariston 1970`s dishwasher, I picked this up from a family in Birmingham who had emigrated from Italy in the 70`s bringing all new appliances for their home being built for them - but their new home came with a fully fitted kitchen and laundry so these appliances where stored in the garage - fast forward to 2008 when they where moving and sold all unused appliances off !!

Pandandi detergent

Pandandi was a biological detergent to be used for the prewash only in the biological wash program (it wasn't meant for use in the wash phase as well: the results would be poor if you did): I can remember that a half-used box of this detergent came out from some corner under the sink when we took out our old Zanussi dishwasher that had given up its soul. I never used it or saw it used, my mom told me that it was more expensive than a box of Somat or Neofos (the Italian version of Calgonit, we have never been fans of the Finish products) despite being half the weight, I also believe that we never used it because the old machine did a good job on pots and pans on the normal program if you let them soak for a while before putting them in.
BTW, Mike, I love the G560 dishwasher: it is more or less like my G562.
