Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I can't wait to share the pic of Henry Fonda's 1948 laundry room wuth the bolt-down Bendix and the White King detergent. Never heard of that one before. 1948 is the year Fonday made "Fort Apache" in Monument Valley, Utah. I wonder if he brought home any dirty laundry with some of that deep red dirt from the location!
 
RE: is is a combo? NO

That is Hotpoint's first dryer. It has Calrod heating elements when even the GE dryer had open coils. John has this model and bent Filtrator elements to fit so they have this wavy orange look like neon sculpture when they are hot. Like other early dryers, it is virtually silent in operation.
 
I have the first Hoovermatic(without temp.control,just the "Heater/Motor"switch)in my kitchen,too!It still works and I always use it with my vacation clothing,takes less time than washing 3 or 4 loads in the automatic!And,most important......
it´s much more fun!

Thomas.
