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

Siematic Kitchen

I quite like that kitchen too although personally I would have preferred the cupboards to have squared off rather than round edges. I LOVE the tiles too though, 1970s style but much more restrained than many of that period. I wonder if they had a dishwasher or washing machine? Imagine if there was a Neff of similar era in there. You know I had quite forgotten that Neff supplied gas ovens (do they supply them still?) - I had assumed that it was electric but of course it could be gas.

That kitchen must have been someone's pride and joy as it has been kept so well although of course it would have cost a fortune when new

Food mixer

That food mixer was made by Electrostar. Most of them were sold under the Starmix label. I have an older Starmix just like the Hoover in the picture. It's incomplete though, the doughhook is missing and the blender is missing too. Actually the blender was the basis, the food mixer an extra. The food mixer also came with shredding and slicing discs.

Here is a later Starmix MX4 with attachments and a picture of the front page of a manual. Starmix also sold a coffeemill, an icemaker, a juice extractor and some more attachments for it. I don't know if the Hoover sold those too.

Electrostar GmbH is based in Reichenbach, Germany (near Stuttgart).

Hoover Automix

Louis

This was sold here primarily as a food mixer but also came with blender, mincer, coffee mill and the slicer/shredder which by the look of it was an adaptation of the food mixer bowl.

I have an Automix myself and its not bad although everything needs to be started at slow speed - even egg whites which need this to gain some volume before speeding up. The biggest disadvantage to my mind is that it is such a pain to remove the mix (especially creamed mixtures) from the beaters. Much easier on a Kenwood or Sunbeam.

That is certainly a handsome kitchen. Its when you see such pictures that you see just how little kitchen design has changed over the years, if it were not for the oven that picture could be seen in a modern catalogue without looking strange

Hotpoint wringer washer, appears to be in almost printine condition. Tiny amount of paint loss on the bottom lip of the wringer, but still, not bad at all considering the state you see some of these in. No idea whether or not this is a good price, but I've seen people asking the same or more for machines in far worse condition.

Thanks Al

for posting the link for the sunbeam blender, well I bought it, I've not seen one before and I love it, once its been serviced it will run as smoothly as the mixmasters.

Thanks for these threads Al
