Scan-travaganza Weekend Begins With Waste King

[gansky1]

I spent some time with the scanner this week, 135 pages in all. I'll get some posted through this long weekend, different brands or themes every day.

Let's start with some Waste King brochures. I remember getting Thermador/Waste King books every year at our Home Shows. I thought they were just as nice looking at KitchenAid. Oooooh, and that shiny tank!

Great Scans! Thanks!

Fun dishwashers!
Hard to load, and a little noisy! Fun and good cleaners non the less.
I love your KA Aviator! Is that from an original KA Ad? It think it would be great blown up and framed!
Thanks for the scans!

I had NO idea

that there ever were Waste King portable dishwashers.

Thank you for scanning and posting!

I saved a copy of every scan. While these are earlier models and look different on the outside, the stainless interior and wash system is virtually identical to my '85 Thermador THD 3600, which I truly love. I have the handbook for it, but no glamour shots or design and feature information like these scans contain!

Thanks for posting!

Kool. I remember using them at other peoples places but I don't think I ever paid much attention to their cleaning ability. Would love to use one now and pay attention to it!

Thank you for posting this

I always liked Waste King / Thermador appliances. They always looked more upmarket and modern with a hint of European influence in their design aesthetic.

Their range hoods with the infrared food warming function were quite clever and, as a young lad, I always wanted one of those. Weren't they also the first to offer modular cooktops before other companies embraced that concept?

Anyway, I love the brochure with all its details.

Say "thank you" to the nice man

What a generous thing to do! Of many vintage appliance makers, I grieve the loss of Norris Industries. Those built-in barbecues, those beautiful stainless steel dishwashers, those innovative Thermador cooktops. To paraphrase Margaret Mitchell: "Look for them only in brochures, for they are gone with the wind".
