Evening Alan, you did make me laugh with that comment, funny but back then they where much sturdier than today`s appliances dont you think?
Funny how these where still selling at the time in 1979 when you think that most other big brands where pushing the faster spins of 800 to 1100rpm and yet only one model the L10 offers 800rpm as its fastest spin - but sell they did on price!! But as a brand they do have a relevant timeline to tell for us here in the UK.. Thanks for posting!! |

My Indesit L8LI from 1979 is still going strong after 35 years! Although the Samsung TL is my main driver,I use the L8 about once a month,just to watch the spin drain. As SA was 220v in those days we had the Italian versions. |

Indesit's of old were solidly built although prone to rust and sticky door boots. A separate spinner was a necessity if you owned a slow spin model. It appears the L8's spin was beefed up in 1979 from 380rpm to 400rpm, remaining a spin drain machine. ( Rule of thumb with Indesit, if the filter pump cover is screwed on, it's a spin drain machine ). I don't think the L7 was a big seller in the UK because of it's dimensions. 4cm wider than the standard 60cm kitchen space and having the dispenser on the top. I only know of one person who's mum had a L7 and have not seen one in person.
Indesit continued selling slow spin machines well into the 80's. For a lot of people on a budget they were the go to brand. I knew a few people who had the D/W too, in fact the hotel I worked at when I was 16 had one as their secondary machine. Thanks again for posting this Alan, it's made my day. |

Well, for those dishwashers I have heard good things actually, and that's why I would like to put my hands on one.
Have to agree that Indesits were not the strongest around and sure thinnier bodied than others, but otherwise functional and OK for what concerns the internal mechanical aspect...IMO. Even the earliest indesit machines used to be way more filmsey than the average, in the era of good enameled thick panels as they should be, and of which the most of machines used to be made, indesit made thin bodies indeed since always... I recall their earliest automatics (k5) that would make a twerking dance worth of the most bad ass ghetto girl. Go to min 14 of first video This post was last edited 03/20/2014 at 10:05 |

The Indesit L6 you posted was a pre 1979 model I think, the previous incarnation from 1975 had red accents on the control panel.
Ian, is this the machine you were thinking of? (picture posted by another member in a previous thread ) This post was last edited 03/20/2014 at 15:51 |

Thanks for the pic of the L6SGBT, I'm pretty sure that was the machine owned by a man my gran cleaned for. The dial next to the main programme dial wash the bio dial, numbered 1 to 13. Was never sure if the numbers indicated hours or if the explanation was in the instruction book. As you know Indesit were not know for their clear controls!

Hi, very interesting brochure ! thanks for posting.
I have some technical documents of these machines but for the French version (with cold filling only, because we prefer electricity to heat the water since we have several "non dangerous" nuclear plants !). When seeing that the model numbers on the brochure ends by "GB" I just figured out the trick, so "GB" means Great Britain, "I" means Italy and "F" means France (on my technical documents the model numbers ends by LI, LF, SI, AOI, AOF or M5F). |

Hi all,1st thanks Alanlondon for posting these brochures ,it brings back a lot of memories.I beleive the TD5 indesit dryer was sourced from Zerowat and styled to match the L10 washer.In the late 70s i worked for a small independant and we sold the equivalant Indesit machines badged as Hirundo,sort of Indesit attempt to help the independant retailers against the big stores.Its funny how things work out,the Indesit L10 was fitted with a GEC Hotpoint brush type motor.They must have liked it so much they bought the company!
Regards nige. |

About wine glass plastic holder, I could see that in a few models they made them removable while in others not, even if of the same line.... They simply were part of the rack.
I think this was just a thing about indesit,in other brands I could not see them.... Also, not sure if the tower models were sold in the UK, but in Italy it was also common to find tower ( 3 rack) dishwashers, meant to be used in componible kitchens (not undercounter), they often were installed in corners near the sink, they were slimmer but taller allowing them to fit easily..... Also candy initially made this kind of tower machines....I could just see one personally in an abandoned house near here...in the lower floor kitchen they also had a candy sink/dishwasher unit.... When first I came across this ad I really hoped it was for a regular model, but after pics publication I could bitterly discover that the machine was a tower model that unfortunately will not fit in my kitchen... Anyway, sellers are the classical bumpkins who thinks have a treasure.... 500 euros is beyond any reasonable request....neither if it was NIB. Here is how the tower model looks like, if someone is able to save and post pic for the archives it would be great (I cannot since safari won't allow me to upload).... www.subito.it/elettrodomestici/la... |
