Fisholow Bendix
It was indeed a Bendix dryer of the era and badged for the Electricity Board shops, my aunt had one from Manweb (Merseyside and North Wales Electricity Board), great dryers, good airflow and an easy to clean fluff filter !!

Fisholow Bendix
Yes its very well made, all enamel coated and pressed steel, don't make them like that now. The airflow is good, large belt driven fan on the back, will get some innards shots soon, No gas versions where ever offered the only company that did that was White Knight in the late 80`s.
Vented was the first and best choice for many years, the last decades have seen condensers overtake them but IMHO not for other than you couldn't get a vent hose to go through a window or fixed outside etc. Certainly many collectors prefer and use vented still. Those drying racks are still widely used ha ha but onto the market we now see Heat Pump dryers making a foothold because prices are falling !! | ||

Well I made a visit to collect the Fisholow today, turns out it was only 30 mins from me, delighted to hear the story of the dryer with Mark and his Mum, always a pleasure to hear how these appliances where bought, looked after and are still in use !!
Mark heres a few photos of washers you mum was describing perhaps it was one of these ?? | ||
