Wow, what a unique machine. I wish my French was much better. If I ever had to use one of these, I'd be lost... |

Hi Bert, lovely machine, is this a washer dryer??, the last bit of the video, was that the main motor or a blower unit??
Its great to see the machine top with a glass window, at least you can see the suds and rinse waters splashing about, very retro look to the French washers...and yes even washing machine instructions sound so sexy in French...LOl Cheers, Mike |

As an H-axis toploader afficinado I absolutely love this machine. Wonderful features like the rapid advance timer and the window in the lid. Quite an addition to your collection.
I had never heard of the name Vendome. Ofcourse I'm not very familiar with the French market, but I do know some French brands. Was Vendome ever sold on the French market or was the name especially used for this proto type? Interesting that this washer/dryer model was vented into the room. I guess the condenser models still had to be devellopped. A very nice machine for small apartments! |
