This comment on today's POD isn't about the Frigidaire dw'ers so much as it is about the lovely china pattern featured in the picture. Would anyone happen to know the manufacturer (Homer Laughlin?), and pattern name? It's not that I need another china pattern to collect, I just like the gold bellflower pattern and trim with the pink band. So simple and elegant. |

That is nice pattern. How good were the Frigidaire dishwashers? Better than today's I hope. |

Maybe for 1950s standards they were pretty good, but very rigid in how you loaded them since the spray came from the denter of the machine between the two racks. Robert loves his. But by the 1960s, I considered them to be one of the two worst dishwashers on the market. I mean when the user manual specificallys tates to hand clean any starchy sticky foods like oatmeal, rice, and such, there's only low expectations to be expected and they were in my book.
when rich and Chuck had their 1961 Spin-tube, I remember Toggles commenting in the thread how strange it was to load bowls, pots, pans on their sides and not facing down in the bottom rack for them to get any spraying action. |
