Made in Deutschland, German washer pic thread

[foraloysius]

Speaking of Bauknecht, they made some pretty double door machines too. I remember seeing them at the Bauknecht dealer.

 

[foraloysius]

Bauknecht also made real boil wash machines. IIRC they used the Constructa patent and paid Constructa for it.

Double doors were pretty popular back then. Here's a Siemens from 1974.

 

[foraloysius]

Siemens also sold compact toploaders. This is one of them, I'm not sure, but it's possible this one was made by Cordes. Fredrik, do you know this? These machines didn't have a fabric softener, but a rinse hold button that would stop the machine at the moment where the softener had to be added.

 

[foraloysius]

OK, just one more...

Siemens also made a topload washer/dryer combo.

 

[foraloysius]

Oh, hang on, I have more of that series! Here's a frontload washer/dryer combo

 

[foraloysius]

And a topload washing machine (this one is not a combo)

 

[foraloysius]

And this is a topload dryer. There must be a matching washer to this one too, but I don't have a picture of it. I like the variation in models of that time. Today's machines are much more boring. Even Mieles! LOL! Enjoy the pictures!

Thanks for those.

Tom, I have noticed with a lot of those Zanker's and AEG's the bottom plinth came off. Is this a problem with these machines?

Hey THAT IS GOOD NEWS!
Brilliant pix and interesting news from all of you!
But missing a bit the really old ones... MIELE woodden-tub washers with wringer and stuff like that...
Cheers, Ralf

I don't have a pic of a really early Miele - help anyone?

Here is a more recent pic with the interior shown.

Your wish is my command ;-)

Miele wooden washing machine from 1929.

 

[foraloysius]

A popular wringer washer from the fifties, the Miele 75. It was a semi automatic model, first it heated the water up to the selected temperature and then it washed for the time it was set on.

 

[foraloysius]

Miele made non-automatic frontloaders too. This one was heated by a coal fire...

 

[foraloysius]

Twintubs were always very popular in the Netherlands until the automatics came up. Here's the famous Miele Combinette.

 

[foraloysius]

Miele made some H-axis twintubs too.
