Actually it could well be European, we had something similar here in the mid-1960s, I believe you can also use it for washing clothes (like a Hoovermatic) although it is very prone to giving you a drenching if you run it with the lid off - anyone who has used an older style HM where the wash tub pump runs off the impellor drive know to keep that lid on until the water is below the impellor.
As I recall you could also attach a flexible drive to the impellor which you could attach a sort of hand mixer head to and perhaps other devices. Which? (our consumer reports) tested one I will see if I can find the report when I am home next weekend. I recently saw a much more modern version of this for sale here branded as Kitchen Aid - don't remember if I posted it to Shoppers Square or not. Al |

Perhaps it was only ever meant to be used as a washing machine. The rack could be there as a convenience for when washing up dishes by hand, rather than being for mechanically cleaning them. |

Hi guys, here's a video from British Pathé youtube channel where this dishwasher is briefly seen in action from 4'16''. The washing action is the same as a twintub machine, but I do wonder if it was effective... could the machine Robert saw be British-made?

Mike, I had to look for Mario Batali on Google Images as I had never heard of him before - so I discovered he's a very famous chef in the US - and I wish I had his hair :) BTW, you're right, we could look like cousins or some other relatives of the sort if seen together, and none of us looks typically Italian (when I went to the US and the UK in my younger days many didn't believe I actually came from Italy and that Ivan was my real name).
Alistair, is The Ideal Home Exhibition still on schedule in the UK or was it cancelled/replaced with a similar exhibition at some point? |
