I believe Westinghouse was the first to have an automatic timer in the late 30's.

I saw a PBS program that covered some highlights of the fair. One of them was Westinghouse's pavilion, which involved a time capsule that was buried with artifacts of the time. (Another was buried next to it at the time of the 1964-65 fair.) Some of their home appliances were featured and demonstrated, one of which was a dishwasher. The narration didn't remark if the machines were available to the consumer market yet, or just glimpses of "things to come".

That is a wonderful AEG dishwasher. The picture you shared is indeed a true AEG, there is no link with General Electric. But AEG's first dishwashers were relabeled General Electric toploaders (Mobile Maid).
Here is a thread about such an AEG: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... |

I always liked the look of those AEG dishwashers, for those unfamiliar with them the handle pulls up to release the lock to let the door come down. My Aunt Nancy had one of these - about 1971 or so. At the time she was a real AEG fan having AEG autowasher, dishwasher and vacuum cleaner - I had never seen an AEG before, at the time they were quite rare and excelusive, especially in Northern Ireland
