Classic UK Appliances - April 2016

Nor £175 for this

I cannot comment if it is English Rose or not but I will say it looks remarkably like the kitchen in the council flat (aka public housing - probably built late 1960s) from 1977 to 1980. The "open" unit looks like it is missing doors, this could well have been made to conceal a twin tub as there is apparently no base to it

I am almost tempted to buy this just to see if it actually works

The Eumenia wasching machines were made in Austria IIRC. According to the Eudora website the machines were sold under the Eudora name after 1971. That would mean that the machine on eBay could be from before that, but I doubt that. Perhaps the Eumenia label was longer used in other countries.

To change from the wash function to the dry function, you have to turn the insert in the door. Spinning is very peculiar because it tries over and over again, balance is an issue because there is no suspension. Changing tumble direction goes very swift, without a pause.

Here's the link to the new Eudora 3 kg machines.

They are also sold as Euronova:

1974 English Rose

A slightly different twist (and apparently not what was planned originally) on the usual colour combo, the custom made table is an interesting addition and the original plan a bonus. Note that by this time they have abandoned the double door/angled handles they used for so long for a more conventional style door

The oven and hob are listed separately which I will include later

Baby Blue

To me the whole thing is ruined by the white knobs which I doubt are original to the kitchen. I have my doubts that the oven and hob are original to the kitchen
