Swedish kitchen adverts part 2

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

Help Support :

It appears that I posted this same video a few weeks ago to in part 1. There are two channels with Swedish ads, Teknik 2000 and Svensk Nostalgi. Totally forgot about that while I watched the full video back then. Age and Nutrasweet! lol

Yes, an Elux-Miele indeed. Nowadays Electrolux is the much bigger company, back then not yet I guess.
 
My grandma used to say

"You need double the dishes with a dishwashe". Back then only one aunt had one, and they had 7 kids, so they needed double sets anyway. Her early 60's Kitchen Aid wasn't that big. Her Tappan 400 double gas ovens had as much space. It'd take the woman in the video a week to wash all those with a small machine.
 


There was so much to like in that video, and great to see the "Twosome" that we had discussed before with the washer paired with the slightly differently sized spin dryer. In some ways this could be argued as the best of all worlds, the convenience of an automatic (or perhaps in this case semi automatic) with a high efficiency spin dryer
 
Two products Dual and Comfort

We also had Dual floor cleaner and polish in the UK although the bottle was different. As I recall it was better on linoleum or vinyl tiled floors than ceramic tiles.

And Comfort remains a big brand of Fabric Softener, in 1965 it was pretty much unheard of. Hard to tell what brand the top loading H axis machine is but there is a good, if brief view of the Husquvarna branded AEG washer



 
Turnamat

The Turnamat S was the second generation one. It was more efficiently (or somewhat cheaper if you want) than the first generation Turnamat we see in the window of the shop in the video. It was the Turnamat S that made an automatic washing machine reachable for a lot of people. Despite AEG's price policies (a set price for them) a lot of dealers sold them for a lot less than AEG wanted.
 
Volta Vacuum Cleaner

1966 film - Volta was an Electrolux brand. In this country they were, generally, variations on the standard Electrolux model line of this time but this one is rather different, with various design features which would not be seen on their Electrolux line for several years. This cleaner, or variations of it have appeared in several other films we have posted
