In 1959, my father finally took pity on my mother, who was carrying his/her 5th child. To help her with household drudgery, he puchased a Frigidaire Portable top-loading dishwasher. What a nice guy, except that my mother hadn't done dishes in years. The older kids took care of that chore. At any rate, I doubt if Frigidaire actually made the dishwasher as I had already seen other clones with Sears, and Chambers brand names. The dishwasher was an impeller machine, with no food disposer or filter. The impeller was black plastic and the silverware basket was placed directly over it to ensure that an errant spoon handle would some day slide through them basket mesh and destroy the impeller. It had one wash, two rinses and a long, impeller assisted dry. To its credit, I will have to mention that it held large, odd shaped objects very well, and if you made sure the dishes had no soil or food particles on them when you loaded, the result wasn't too bad. If you did this, it really did do a beautiful job on glassware,leaving no spots. Similar Chambers and Sears models sometimes had revolving upper racks. Does anyone know the real manufacturer of these?
