Welcome to aw.org mieledani, the first machine almost looks like a Bendix but with the round button trap door at the bottom it leads me to believe that its not made by Bendix. Its a bit weird to see the vintage 60's Kelvinator logo on those machines.

Thanks, Unimatic. Well, I think these Kelvinator washer were made in Spain, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, it's a very special machine for me: My grandmother had one!!!

The first picture looks more like a mix between an italian Candy and Philco washer.

If you watch very close you'll see that in the second photo, the washerdoor looks familiar to the washer door on the low end mieles at the beginning of the 1970'ies (espcially the doorknob looks familiar)

The third photo reminds me of a 60ties-70ties model of BOSCH or Siemens
