Philips Toploader with jets for agitation?
My grandmother described a washing machine she had in the 1950s or early 1960s that used a powerful recirculating pump to move the laundry. She thinks it might have been Philips.
The only reason I know about it is she also used to use it as a foot spa (we have pics!) She'd apparently sit on the counter top, put in some nicer Lux soap and essential oils and do her feet... Sounds very safe! She wasn't ever a classic 50s housewife from a Persil advert.
Everyone in the household just did their own laundry and she ensured there was an automatic machine as soon as they could get one.[this post was last edited: 12/18/2017-11:10]

Ah yes, Spyker! That's something different than DAF. Spyker built the world's first six cylinder AFAIK in 1903. They also built the first four wheel drive and were the first to use brakes on all four wheels. They had quite a reputation, in England they were called the Rolls Royce from the continent. Unfortunately the company went bankrupt a few times, the last time in the 1920's.
AFAIK, Philips only made twintubs with agitators, but I have to admit I have been surprised before by all the products they have made. The machine you are describing sounds more like a Rolls twintub or so.

More Philips, this time vacuum cleaners. The "draaitop" (turn top) was very popular in the NL with the hose that could turn 360 degrees. "Ja, zo is er maar één!" = Yes, there is only one like it according to this ad from 1966.
The hand held vac was also available with a an electric brush.
The hand held vac was also available with a an electric brush.
Around that time my mother needed a new vacuum. A cousin of her, who sold vacuums etc. came over with the Philips and a Holland Electro Toppy. She tested them both and chose the HE.
This ad is from 1960. "A huge progress on the terrain of vacuums." I'm sure it looks familiar to vacuum collectors. It had a 500 Watts motor, IIRC the Philips had less, around 400. It came with a cloth bag and with paper bags. It also came with a "Drakaflex" cord, with a sort of rubbery cover.

"Philishave, Should we start a separate thread?"
Nah, I'm all shaved out. The hunt goes on for other Dutch ads. Google can't seem to find a single Dutch ad for Polaroid cameras. Was instant photography not a big deal in mid-century Europe?

Holland Electro
The HE machine is very closely based on the US Lewyt design and must have continued for many years after Lewyt was nothing but a memory, I have an HE machine in my collection and I would have said it is much newer than the 1960s - I would have said late 1980s if not later.
I remember the Philips 360 design being launched here in the 1970s and finally managed to acquire one a couple of months ago. And the a very pleasant surprise last week when I went to collect a cleaner for a friend and the ebay seller gave me some paper bags for this cleaner for free, these would be quite rare here
I also have a much later version of the hand/stick cleaner too

Yes, the HE Toppy S was the successor of the Toppy. I found a video on Youtube with a Toppy exactly like ours.

Iej, my grandmother had a jet-washer too. Almost identical to reply no. 29 in this old thread. Wasn`t a Philips but you never know. I could imagine joint ventures of washing machine manufacturers existed even back in the 1950s.

we had a phillips canister in Nijmegen. They had some dogs that shed a lot (Chows) so there was always vacuuming.
Philips 1969
Philips has sold many different models through the years. Here are three special models advertised.
"A knowledgeable buying couple only needs half a word"
"A washing machine with the name Philips on it, that's always a good choice".
At the left is the Philips CC1000, washing and spinning in one drum with no less than (Philips technique) 1000rpm.
In the middle the Philips Compact, for the best used 40 x 60 cm space (a Philips surprise) for your bathroom or kitchen.
BTW, both toploaders are H-axis machines.
And at the left the Philips Incli-matic, with a slanted drum (Philips invention) for better washing and better loading.

Philips CC1000
As featureed in the last advert, the Philips CC1000 was a very handsome machine indeed - actually manufactured in the UK in Halifax. The production dates are noted on the front as 1969 until 1972. As Louis notes above it is an H Axis machine with the drum mounted from side to side rather than front to back which is the more usual arrangement.

The name CC1000 was somewhat confusing for me because the first Slimstar, the HN3156 was marketed as a CC1000 too. I remember the latter better from ads in a woman magazine my mother subsribed to. Here's a clip from an ad and the full ad. This ad is from around 1975.
Ignis 1963
Ignis had already a toploader on the market with the drum mounted from side to side (Diomede posted several threads here about these toploaders).
"Ignis brings joy to the family"
Notice the endorsement of Dixan at the bottom of the thread. My mother used that, I still remember the smell.

Ignis
Looks like the Ignis was sold here as a Stokvis - it was an expensive machine here, the second most expensive of this test

The Erres AWD526 looks like a Philips - even the model number sounds like Philips.
On the other hand the Philips AWB001 does not look like any Philips I have ever seen, or is it a dryer? The Slimstar is a great machine (I would love one!) and they are built like tanks - again made in Halifax - I remember seeing these on sale when my mother bought her first machine in 1975, Mum bought a Zanussi in the end. We had teh DL 22 here as well, I think it spun at around 380
I am really enjoying this thread Louis

Yes, the Erres is a Philips. In the 1960's Philips slowly took over Erres-Stokvis and Ruton. So the Erres and Ruton models disappeared slowly from the market and were replaced by Philips made machines.
The AWB001 was a BOL Philips machine. Often there were two cheap models without variatronic spin.
Here's a picture from 1975.

Zanussi DL22
Those Zanussi's were very popular machines. And they were well made too, well enough for AEG to use them for their BOL models. Here's a video of an AEG Lavalux SE.
Glad you're liking this thread Alistair!

More Erres, 1970
This is from the time most Erres products were already Philips made, but at the bottom you still see some typical Erres products like the H-axis twintubs. The Erres Tombolux is a relabeled Philips CC1000 ofcourse.
This ad is an introduction for the new frontloaders at that time. "Erres introduces the wash computers".
These machines had an "electronic brain that organises everything so fully automatic that they are nothing less than wash-computers". Ofcourse these machines are relabeled Philips Inclimatic machines.

Douwe Egberts 1970
Douwe Egberts was the number 1 leader on the Dutch coffee market. On each pack of 250 grams of coffee there was a 10 points stamp. You could save for coffee cups, some silver items and for this then new Technivorm Douwe Egberts coffee maker. Moccamasters as they are named nowadays were only available through Douwe Egberts in the Netherlands. We were about the last country where you can now just buy them in a store instead of having to save points and pay some extra money. The needed 4000 points had a value of 40 guilders, which makes the price 75 guilders in total. Unlike later models, these came with a cone shape filter and a round filter. I guess that was to let the Dutch consumer getting used to the cone shape filter. The button under the water tank was for selecting normal for the round filter or fast for the cone shape filter. There is no on/off button yet.
"Douwe Egberts makes it easy to make a good cup of coffee".

Before Douwe Egberts sold Technivorm Moccamasters they used the Wigomat for their loyal customer program. According to Wikipedia this was the world's first automatic drip coffee maker, designed and patented in 1954. The ad is from 1966. The Wigomat was still available in 125 Volts, by that time not many areas had that anymore, although in some areas 220 Volts was achieved by using two conductors so you got 220 Volts on the outlets.

AEG
Thanks for posting the video of the AEG/Zanussi - I believe my aunt had one of those machine is the early 1970s - it replaced and English Electric front loader from around 1960 when she was married. That same aunt had an AEG Favorit dishwasher and vacuum cleaner - the latter two I have acquired into the collection, but this washer remains elusive. I had my fingers crossed when Mike told me that he had tracked down an BOL AEG/Zanussi that it might be such a machine but it turned out to be one from the early 1980s - although still a Zanussi - this time based on the 218 with 800 spin. The DL22 was also sold here for a while as a Hotpoint although it had a very different facia.
Well made? Well maybe, maybe not. The Zanussi my mother bought in 1975 (model DL6) had to have the outer tub replaced on 1975 when it rusted through and when the bearings went the following year that was that. The Zanussi which replaced it (218T) wash still working 18 years later and indeed could still be working somewhere in north Wales.

Opel
Here's an ad from 1966 that introduces the Opel Rekord Caravan as the stationcar was named. The Opel Rekord C had been introduced in August 1966. The stationcar was new for 1967, at least here in the Netherlands. At that time Opel was the best selling car brand in the Netherlands.
"All the perfection of the new Opel Rekord with: even more space, more possibilities".
New on this model C were also larger wheel base, bigger track width, a new rear axle with new suspension system, powerbrakes, disc brakes on the front wheels etc.
The basic motor was 1.5 litre. The biggest was a 2.2 litre six cylinder, but I do't know if the latter was available on the Caravan. There were also a 1.7 and a 1.9 litre engine available. Automatic transmission was available on some models, from the start with a 2 speed Powerglide, in 1968 a 3 speed GM automatic transmission came available. Most cars were sold with a 4 speed stick shift transmission.

Philips 1979
"This complete Philips washing machine is only 40 cm narrow". (40 cm = 15 3⁄4 inches)
This washing machine was presented as the solution for people with little space. It was only 56 cm deep and 85 cm high (not including the control panel). I'm not sure but I think this was the first 40cm wide toploader. Before taht Philips had the Philips Slimstar that was 45 cm wide. There was however a downside. Philips toploaders up to then had a spinspeed of 1000rpm (both the CC1000 and the Slimstar). This TOL model however did only 750rpm. The last TOL model of this series, the AWB119PH did 850rpm. That is the model I bought in 1982. Special about this machine was the spinspeed control that regulated the spin everywhere between 120 - 750rpm. There were also a temperature control 0-95 degrees Celcius, a 2 kg or half load button and an economy button. IIRC when the 2 kg button was selected, the machine gave two low water level rinses of the in total 5 rinses.

Polaroid 1968
"Press the button and ten seconds later you see the photo. And you can believe it or not but with the same Polaroid camera you have a beautiful colour photo in 60 seconds".
I don't know in what year these were introduced in the Netherlands, but IIRC the first models only made b/w pictures.

Rondomatic 1963
This is the presentation of the new Rondomatic fully automatic washing machine.
"One push of the finger... a complete wash programme"
This machine had 11 fully automatic programmes for 2 kg and 4-5 kg laundry. Automatic dispenser, both inner and outer drum made of stainless steel, all ways of washing are possible with programmes for synthetics and wool. It had double wash technology (meaning prewash and mainwash).
It could be switched between 2.25, 2.9 and 4.2 Kw for all possible electrical installations.
