Bendix from 1936-1960. I am writing it up for the club and will post it when it is done. Philco as I recall sold off its washers to Dexter not WCI. Dexter machines became the "double loader" standard in laundromats here in the US in the 60-80's. That machine was based on the Bendix Duomatic which is why so many parts from that machine fit the Dumoatics today. |

Such a great thread so far guys, keep posting :-) This is without a doubt one of my favourite brands ( some may even say I like them more than Miele, and if you know me, thats saying something LOL )
Fantastic to see the old brochures on here too, its so difficult finding material like this these days so thanks to "paulinroyton" for taking the time to put these up :-) I was lucky enough to grow up with one of these machines myself and Ive been facinated with them ever since and was gutted when it got replaced with a Bosch Maxx - as a kid back then I was always suprised at how the Bendix was between 14-16 years old, yet the Bosch was brand new yet was MUCH louder, though this was before learning about different types of motors - all became very clear many years ago LOL. In February I also managed to save an old Bendix Autodrier De Luxe, 7442 :-) very similar to the drier in the picture above although the door on mine is hinged on the right, and has the third heat option - Quarter Heat. They truly are built like tanks, I use mine most days and it runs so smoothly :-) Would be interesting to know whether my model came out before or after the ones in the brochures however, any others that I've seen either on here or on ebay have their doors hinged on the opposite side to mine and dont have the quarter heat option - maybe one of you guys could shed a little light on that :-)? Great Thread :-) Rich |

Hi Rich. Love your Bendix dryer. My gran had the matching dryer to her 7147 washer, and again, it was so quiet. Think these machines were fantastic machines and lasted for years. Paul |

The Bendix HomeLaundry Centre was the machine I grew up with, had an 800rpm spin and about 4 opton buttons IIRC, mum bought it in the mid 80's and to this day is still her favourite machine, despite having splashed out spending nearly a grand on a Miele LOL :-)
Hope to find one of these on ebay one day, though they seem pretty rare to come by nowadays which is a great shame! The pic below is the machine I mentioned, though I'm almost certain in thinking ours had a few other option buttons, but hey ho they were great all the same! :-) Loving this thread guys :-) Rich |
