Have one

In storage for years. Mint. Thought it would be great for a bar glass washer. Will post pic's if anyone cares. On the list of things to get rid of. Looking to sell and downsize. Michael

Long,long ago. Far,far away, I saw one at GW in FL.

Wow . . .

The model in the brochure has not one, not two, but three rows of pearls on when she uses her dishwasher, that's serious!

That Thing....

I'm tawkin' about the dishwasher.

Non-electric...

...and done in two minutes time? Ridiculous, me thinks.

I just mapped both addresses...they were suburban subdivision streets, not really in manufacturing areas. Guess that was the guy's garage where these were warehoused

Seeing that thing as a counter built-in, the round lid in the counter, could have been the one I saw in a house my parents were looking at waaaay back when I was around 8 y.o. so 1964 ish. . I was quite fascinated by it and I've never seen another built in the counter looking thing like that since.

Wasn't there another dishwasher that operates similarly that was shown here? Turn on a faucet to operate?

Kaiser.

I believe you're thinking of a Kaiser unit. Dishwashercrazy has one.

To be remotely effective----

one would need blazingly hot water, and firehose water pressure.

Good idea, though.

Thank you for posting.

Thanks, Dave. That's the one I was thinking of. Since they operate on similar principles, one would wonder who came out with their's first and if there might have been any patent issues...

I doubt there's any realistic chance that thing would scour away the tough stuff considering many modern dw's have a tough time.. then of course back when that thing was "new" not sure if the dw detergents at the time were as effective.

Dave is correct. I have a 1947? Kaiser Drop in, very similar to this Blanchard Dishwasher. I also have a 1948? Kaiser Electric Sink/Dishwasher. I also have a 1948 Cameron counter-top dishwasher. And I have an early 1970s Carocelle Portable Dishwasher. All of these operate solely by water pressure.

I have arranged to buy this Blanchard Dishwasher.
