Hey all you wonderful guys, I’m a loooong time lurker and lover of this site, here’s my first time dipping my toe into posting! So.......especially to all you UK collectors, my main interest is vintage dishwashers, and of course in the UK they are pretty rare! For Christmas when I was 15 (I’m 45 now!) my older brother bought me a mid 70s Miele, our family’s first dishwasher. It was awesome! So........ I’d dearly love to own a Hoover AutoJet or SupaJet, I scour Evay but so far without success. Any advice from all you experienced guys would be much appreciated.
Thanks already, Paul |

Welcome to Automatic Washer Paul, hope you like it here.
Is this the style of Autojet & Superjet you are interested in? Or a later model Do you recall the model number of your Miele dishwasher? I have examples of G500 & G550 which would be early I mid 1970s I think Al |

My friend ChesterMikeUK will probably have better photos but here are photos of my one of my G550s, I have another still G550 but slightly earlier.

I wonder if any of the follow on range survives - the 4824 and 4834? Hopefully somewhere and one day an example of each will be saved. Regards Paul |

... and they had the blue treatment originally. Do you know if the all button model was introduced with this blue range, or was it a later addition? Paul

Here's my Mum's Philips dishwasher in our Kitchen early 1980s, I took these photos for a school project, she was very trusting allowing me to unscrew it and turn it over! |

Hi Paul No problem to scan the numbers again, here they are. I have all those next generation brochures too from Philips if anyone wants them. (I'll put pictures of my Mum's Automatic on your other post). |

The Servis and the Electrolux I believe were effectively the same machine, the Bendix has the soap dispenser in a different place, the the controls bear a resemblance to the other two. |

Also got this brochure with letters for Cygnet dealers back in the day. The letters say ''Manufacturers of Swanmaid Dishwashers' so it would apppear they're related... Hope you can read it. Chris

Fab literature Chris, the tech info will be very useful for Richard and Steve as currently are servicing similar dishwashers ,
They look much more commercial than what we see of dishwashers today, and prob weigh a ton to move arond rather than today's dishwashers . One of the earlier Swanmaids actually had a commercial copper kettle with a sealed lid for its water heating,.. |

First of the scans. And now I remember why I havent scanned anything in years! This is an a4 double sided sheet dated Oct 1971 with information on a new model - the Swanmaid Select.
''The New Swanmaid Select, a development of the popular Swanmaid De Luxe, is modern in appearance and is designed to match and fit under the new metric height working surfaces as well as conventional kitchen units.'' |

Although I am not British, I have some ads and brochures for UK’s dishwashers and I gladly make a contribution to this interesting thread. I got this one on eBay 4 years ago, the eBayer who sold it claimed it is from 1978.
I’m not a fan of this dishwasher particular loading pattern - it looks pretty inconvenient to me, but I wonder what kind of performance this Kenwood machine provided. |

Gone back to taking photographs. This scanner is awful and I don’t know why the quality is so poor on here. Used to be better I’m sure. Hope it’s readable. If all else fails I can email the photos and see if that’s any better. Try this...

Boo! They've dumbed that down... no mention of the recommended detergents, although the main text does mention Sun's anti-tarnish properties. |

Although there was the later tie up with Kenwood I am think that Dishmaster was a separate company to begin with as I have an instruction book which makes no mention of Kenwood at all.
Here is a Pathe video with also features a waste disposal, also marketed by Kenwood 1952 CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK |

It was about 18 months after that posting that I had the pleasure of meeting Richard face to face. He brought down his Electrolux dishwasher (now working) so that Mike and I could see it in action.

As the Miele 560 popped up at the start of a previous post and, as i had not used it for a while, I gave my G560 a run at the weekend - time for some Miele vintage goodness

Speak for yourself!"
To give it a bit of a challenge rice milk pudding that had been slowly cooked in the oven on the left, the one on the right was not as dirty as it looked. The Le Cruset had a lamb casserole in it |

I used the hottest wash - Intensive 70
I will just comment that this style of Miele - late 70s/early 80s is my favourite of all machines. I also have a dryer of similar vintage that I use all the time.
