Hoover Dishwashers
I remember some years ago a Hoover dishwasher with a glass door on demonstration in i think Rumbelows, it was great to see what was happening inside the machine When you think back that machines were designed by engineers who new what they were doing rather than todays designs being knocked up on a computer.........

RobM I would say the 1960's, as the advert quotes prices in Lsd (pounds, schillings and pence) and guineas. | ||

Something to add to this old post Hi Paul, I found this the other day when looking for brochures for Mike’s post on twin tubs. Thought I’d post it here to add to your history. Cheers Alan | ||

Hoover dishwasher
Alan that one you posted my sister had that model and used it in the pub kitchen until it died and was replaced with a Grey fronted Zanussi, It worked well as long as you didn't over load it and managed to close the little dispenser for the powder. I recall it was rather quiet and did a great job.

Alan
Thank you for posting the Autojet brochure for us to see. Austin, the ironic thing was that, if your sister had the Autojet from Alan's brochure, it was actually manufactured by Zanussi, marketed as Rex in Italy. I am pleased to have both the Autojet and Superjet in the Sutton collection Here is some footage of the Autojet taken in Chester in 2010 I have seen a programme on TV some time ago about the model that Paul posted to open this thread. Apparently Hoover did spend a ton of money researching this dishwasher and building a production line in Merthyr, but they massively over estimated the market for this machine and it was a commercial disaster, not selling the numbers anticipated. I have a brochure dated 11/79 shown below, this machine was made in West Germany I had the misfortune to buy a Hoover dishwasher in 1988 (cannot find a picture on my computer) which I think was made in Spain if I remember right. It was a terrible dishwasher Al | ||

A Crystaljet like this (won in a competition) replaced our 1981 Indesit in late 1992 (the Indesit's door was falling off with rust). Washed well and lasted up to 2002 when it was replaced by a Zanussi after its timer failed.
