Finally I got the other 2 220V lines installed so now I can make my watt meter REALLY spin around FAST! But its worth it!
3 Duomatics running.
Now the problem is your're looking at a whole weeks wash done in under 2 hours, I need children or a husband/mechanic to keep up with these machines!

you can see it on the quality, I've got to get a new camera this year and a Camcorder!

Combos under lights, each has its own detergent as you can see!

That's really cool to see three going at once! But Jon, on the risk of getting slapped, what on earth is that stainless steel bowl doing there and that water in front of the machine??

Magnificent! What an experience it must be to see them all three at work. BTW, love the DUO detergent, so appropriate on a Duomatic!

I have a leaky heater box in that machine and just haven't gotten round to replacing it yet so it floods on fill.

Silly, it was so exciting his water broke.

Seriously, Jon, those are three beautiful machines, but you do need to pace your pleasure.

Jon, did you start all three of these about the same time? Did they finish in the same order your started them or what?

Bendix heaven.

Those Bendix Duomatics are wonderful machines. I have a 1959 model and thoroughly enjoy using it. I sure love the ones you have pictured. What a sight!!!

Oh, power outage in Boston, so all the other folks in the neighbourhood have to do with candles when your smalls are being washed!!! Nice work Jon, and great looking machines, are they all the same drum size & spin speed?? did you try the Tesco own brand in any of these machines??

Here`s the leader in full toga at the Roman Washouse awaiting his Bendixiii to finish!!

So nice to see him again. Speaking of Romans, I'm with Mike and Louis: that first shot with the beastial Bendiis and the cool stuff on the old walls looks very catacomb-like, and the slight graininess adds perfectly to create the effect.

Wow!

What a great 'combination' of combos, Jon! They look fabulous! I am sure the power company is going to either send an inspector to see what you are doing with all that electricity or a thank you note! Have fun with them all!!

I was on the phone with Jon when they started working their way through spinning and rinsing routines - it sounded amazing! Like the laundromats I remember as a kid with the Dexter Double Load washers running, all in a row.

Jon, do those condenser dryers make the basement smell as good as when Filtrators are running?

Those duomatics are fantastic. Pretty cool to have them all running together doing all the laundry at once.
