Here's one with the green appliances (I think they are Husqvarna - iirc the range with the floating control panel is theirs) - also a lot less theatrical. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Davey7's LINK |

Thank you for posting the ads, I have really enjoyed watching them.
The thing that struck me about the one with the lady making a cake was that she seemed somewhat mature for the clothing but thats a small point - that certainly is a wonder cake mix. I found this one for Luvil detergent, I would love to know more about the washing machine :) |

I was surprised by the style of the cabinets prenented in the earlier kitchen adverts, these would have been much more as I would have expected. This may be a selection of mnaufacturers as the orange kitchen towards the end is UK Hygena with, I think, a Leisure sink. Just after appears to be some sort of microwave

Y'know, it's interesting how remarkably universal deployment of technology was in high-income, spacious countries (i.e. Scandinavia/North America/Australia) was in the '70s....other than style, really little separated these (very slightly aspirational) views of suburban life from a similar US or Canada P&G ad from the same year. I remember going to an automotive styling exhibition in Stockholm 20 or so years ago and observing the similarities in Northern Europe auto culture to US auto culture...local cars (Volvo/Saab) were quite large compared to southern Europe cars...people were big, cars were big, houses were big.
About 15 years ago, there was an interesting article in either the Wall Street Journal or one of the other US business magazines talking about the consolidation the appliance manufacturing in Europe, and stressing how different country-by-country range designs were (as you see here, huge US-scaled stoves in Scandinavia; smaller stoves in the UK with weird side-wall heating elements, etc etc etc). |

in Sweden must have been inexpensive for such long commercials. Befoe Husqvarna was quired by Electrolux too. |

Another advertisment turned up in my YouTube feed today, this time for an Electrolux vacuum - European Electroluxes were very different from US or Canadian ones - this model (with sometimes different model numbers and trims in different countries) ran for a very long time

Here's an ad in the Svenska Dagbladet from April 1st 1971 with a few similar appliances at the bottom of the ad. I zoomed in on the ad.

By chance I am actually using a successor (1980s) to that top loader for a wash today.
How you could ever store it in such a situation is beyond me for it is built like a tank and I cannot move it on my own. Its a lovely machine though :) |

@foraloysius yes it was very sturdy, I paid about £15 for it at an auction. It was probably 10-15 years old already, but was in great condition. I actually bought it as a gift for my first bf, I know it was still going strong some years later. I keep an eye out on EBay, cos I’d love another, just for fun. With the top rack it would actually make a very useful overflow dishwasher when entertaining.

That Husqvarna is a relabelled budget AEG. This picture comes close I think, the colour of the control panel is different though.

Alistair,
I'm not sure but I always had the impression Husqvarna never made an automatic washing machine themselves. My brother shot a few pictures at the Husqvarna museum for me some years ago. There is even a relabelled first generation Turnamat. |

Washer with very unusual dryer - its not a spin dryer bu rather uses water pressure to compress the inner "drum" forcing water out of the clothes
The washer must be tiny but even so I would be wanting more water than that in the tub, otherwise every surface in the kitchen would get washed as anyone with a Hoovermatic would know :) |

Evalett washing machine:
Isn't it odd that she changes the direction of the coupler after the laundry has been dried in that extractor? Is there space for holding the water that is used for extracting? Or doesn't use it any water at all for the extraction process? Does it rely on the simple build up of pressure? Intriguing! BTW, love that sink with the lower opening at the front. You still see those now and then in Scandinavian houses. Surf commercial: At 7:50 into the video we see the Bohus washing machine from this thread: www.automaticwasher.org/c... Look at the rinse water level at 830! Detergent Advert: The washing machine is most likely a Miele 420. It has the square window design for the timer. The later 421 and 421S had a round window. Luvil and Corall were/are detergents from Unilever. Corall's name has been changed to Corall. Luvil was never sold in The Netherlands, Biotex was the only soak and prewash detergent here. Osby commercial: Now that was modern at that time. Make a reservation by calling with your Ericophone! Wonderful washing machines with a card reader for several programmes. After stretching the sheets she uses a cold mangle. One of the signs that the video is from before September 3rd 1967 is that the cars are still driving on the left side of the road. New and useful products for the home: There's a lot of cooking with ready made products going on! The Philips handmixer was the first they brought onto the market. That was in 1959 IIRC. I still have two of those with the top in grey. They were also available in green and yellow and perhaps in pink too, but I'm not sure about that. With 85 Watts and only one speed they were rather anemic. A miracle they can handle those potatoes, I'll have to give that a try too sometime! It's the first time I saw it with a rack to hang it on the wall. I'm sure my grandmother's didn't have that, she always kept it in the box. Thanks for posting all these Al! |

It seems that the Evalett uses the pressure of the water to force water out of clothes, the tap valve allows the vessel to first fill up with water (this is not rinsing) and then changing the valve allows the water to drain using the venturiie principle avoiding the need for a pump. I thought that was the Bohus washer that we recently saw, it looks like a really interesting machine. I have one of those Philips mixers in my collection, I must give it a try! |

Interesting to see that 1960 kitchen early on in the video, and I have never seen and iron like that before with the removable cord, I wonder if the temperature control is in the connector, it seems very large otherwise. And of course a Philips iron too.
I am not sure I would like to have to do washing in the bath although I have heard of it before, particularly sheets which would be allowed to soak for a while and then tramped, rather like grapes. Double benefit - clean feet too! |

Alistair,
No, that removable cord didn't have a built-in thermostat. It looks like an old fashioned iron without a termostate, just plug in and unplug it when it's hot enough. The contra plug is a universal plug for appliances. Many appliances came without a cord, so you had to have one of these. It was used on all kind of appliances, we had them on vacuums, toasters and like here on irons. Many people also used these as an extension cord. Because the pins of normal plugs were too small to keep them attached, people used elastic bands to keep the plugs together. Ofcourse that meant a fire hazard as many people experienced. Therefor the introduction of a new type of contra plug in later years. The little Philips mixer is fun to use when you have loads of time! It's one of the most anemic mixers I have ever used. Only worse was a small Philips one with only one whisk, that was meant for stirring sauces. |

In the Netherlands vacuums with a connector were often sold with a Draka cable, a rubber coated cord in one part. It was supposed to be more durable, but eventually they deteriorated as well. Draka was a Dutch manufacturer of all sorts of cables, later bought up by Philips and much later it was bought up by an Italian company.
Here's a picture of a Nilfisk on display with a Draka cord. Picture from the Dutch "Stofzuigermuseum" www.stofzuigermuseum.nl/d...

Actually forgot, speaking of Sweden. I’ve an Electrolux Model 12 1930s vacuum in the attic, including its original wooden box and accessories. |

Sorry, i could have been clearer in what I wrote about the cord, I meant to say that I had never seen a removable cord in that position on the iron, I have seen loads of removable cords on irons, toasters electric kettles and, of course, coffee percolators. Back in the 1940s and 50s removable cords were common on many vacuum cleaners - Goblin, Vactric, Dudley and Phoenix - the picture below shows a Phoenix with its large connector there is actually a picture of a Phoenix embossed on the other side of the connector. The other main candidate are Electrolux cylinder cleaners up to around 1970 which had a connector much like that shown above on the Nilfisk, with the angled flat pins. But this was not the case in all territories, I one had a German manufactured Model 65 which had the flex permanently attached, it entered the machine in the same position as the plug and socket. I have examples of all these plus the Nilfisk shown above. The Nilfisk has an optional power nozzle which doubles up on the socket shown above

Were these cinema ads? They just seem rather detailed and long for TV, more like in-store information films or something. |

I had boiled some potatoes only yesterday to make a Shepherds Pie topping and I almost reached for the Philips mixer to see how it would perform, I wish I had now! I may make some mayonnaise next week to make Coronation Chicken for the Queen's Platinum (70 year) Jubilee so maybe I can give it a try then :) I wonder is that a coffee grinder that is stored next to the mixer on the wall at 1.55. The floor attachment on the cleaner looks rather like the one adopted many years later by UK Goblin cleaners although perhaps on a rather smaller scale. I find these films very enjoyable :) Al |

Yes, that is a coffee grinder indeed. It was available in many colours.
I think you would have to be careful with using the mixer for mashed potatoes, the beaters are very thin. I did use a later model with the thicker beaters for mashing. Making a mayonnaise should be no problem. I agree, very enjoyable! I wonder if Philips sold washing machines in Sweden.

Those are nice colours, I would have a job deciding which one to buy, to have them all would be a bit much. I wonder why they did not include that in the film? It would be interesting to know if the sold washers in Sweden? And if they would be automatic? I do not know when Philips built their French facility for front load washers and the H axis ones they made here started around 1968. They did sell twin tubs previously but not until 1962 or so when their takeover of the Ada factory was complete. There was also a Philips wringer washer (or at least a prototype) although I have never seen one advertised or featured in any home. Al |

I guess it's more a lifestyle commercial, they didn't show the several colours the mixer came in either. The colours of the mixers were totally different though, more or less pastel. One wonders if the responsible designer was colour blind.
Philips started with semi-automatic H-axis toploaders, the automatics came later. I will search the newspaper archives to see if I can find an early ad about them. |

I found a small news paper article that says that Philips has started selling washing machines in England under it's own name. They were already making washing machines in England before that, but not under their own name. The new washing machine has a competitive price. The article is from November 26th 1962.
I also found an ad with two washing machines, a semi automatic and an automatic. The ad is from May 21st 1963. |

Ironrite never sold their ironers outside of USA. Irornite Ironer Company merged with (or was sold to) Dielectric Products and Engineering Company, who in December 1961 decided to shut down Ironrite ironer production due to low sales. Have not been able to run things to ground exactly, but at some point either after Ironrite Ironer Company closed (and patents expired), and or with consent before that event Pfaff in Germany began producing ironers based on Ironrite design. For a while Pfaff used "Ironrite" name and logo design. www.automaticwasher.org/c... cms8.revize.com/revize/mtclemens... www.libble.eu/pfaff-362/online-m... www.ricardo.ch/fr/a/pfaff-buegel... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/...

Ironrite came out with a "portable" and stationary compact version of their ironers, the 890.
www.jitterbuzz.com/the_ironrite.h... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... Those two ironers were basis of what Pfaff introduced to Europe, and indeed like Ironrite in North America they were only ironers sold with heating units below roller rather than in back. Like Ironrite 890 they also folded down for storage. |

"I have never seen one of those devices for stretching sheets and the like before ironing before, it looks rather useful to me"
In many parts of northern Europe tradition of kaltmangel (cold ironing) still holds. To fold long and large items such as sheets and table cloths into proper folds for putting through mangle (cold or heated) someone came up with that niffy device. It allowed one person to do the job easily instead of usual two. On this side of pond we have "extra hand" or "third arm" folding devices that allow easier manual folding of large flatwork. textileinnovations.com/general-l... |

The Netherlands is the 5th in rank of countries that drink the most coffee. And it's the first non-Scandinavian country on that list. Surprisingly Sweden is behind us. No wonder with such abominations as powdered creamer. lol
Most older people take a bit of evaporated milk in their coffee, I belong to that group too. Younger people use oatmilk etc. for all kinds of coffee variations. Ofcourse the real coffee drinkers drink black coffee. Tea is considered mostly here a drink for those who don't like coffee. Or you drink it when you need to lessen your coffee consumption. |

Atlas refrigerators and freezers
I do not remember seeing these on sale in the UK yet the internal fittings are labelled in English, a relatively small range of appliances, of course, even back then, Electrolux would have had a major market share. I have never seen a chest freezer of that style, small capacity of the amount of floorspace it is taking up |

Internal fittings were often in labelled in English, at least overhere in the Netherlands. We had a fridge in the 60's too with english labels. I guess manufacturers couldn't be bothered to change the language for every country.
That chest freezer has an amazing small capacity indeed in relation to it's size. |

Google translate gave me the word for tape. lol
The twintub in the scene with mother and child is an intriguing. I thought it was an Elektrohelios, but it looks different than the one (without spinner) in the Tekniska museet. I guess there were quite a few brands that sold those. digitaltmuseum.se/021028545204/t... And then there is that built under the counter frontloader.... |

I wonder if it is a twin tub - there is no doubt the two are a matched set, but the change in depth between the two parts and what appears to be two pull handles and also the change to the profile between the washer and the spinner at the rear makes me wonder if the spinner is an entirely separate unit. As mentioned previously, the Husqvarna machine at the start appears to be an AEG clone. As to the second front loader, I have no idea whatsoever Al |

Al,
It's actually a bit of both. Just like we saw in a previous video that washer and spinner are connected to eachother. You can see a metal strip between the washing machine and the spinner. I guess it's best of both worlds. To me that makes it a twintub, but you can just as well say they are two separate machines. Husqvarna has put the name on AEG machines for a very long time. If you visit the Husqvarna museum, you'd think you are in an AEG museum. The second frontloader looks a bit like a Rondomatic TOL machine, but it's too different to be just that. For instance the door swings the other way. |

Well, don't ask me how often I watched that video already. lol Besides that I had seen such a strip before in the commercial of the Asea Skandia commercial in Reply #33 at 2:15. That one may have a common toe kick plate too. I added a Dutch ad for a Rondomatic. It's an all push button model, the second frontloader in the commercial may be too.

No, quite a few differences. I just can't stand that I don't know what it is. lol
Rondo was a German brand, later gobbled up by AEG so their later machines were relabelled.... So there was a time that you could have the same machine as AEG, Zanker, Husqvarna or Vorwerk. And who knows what else. The Doris was their first frontloader IIRC.

Carpet & Upholstery Shampoo
Seems to be a rather similar system to Bex Bissell which we were familiar with here. I am curious about that Electrolux cleaner, although models varied from country to country.

They were a step well beyond the mechanical driven shampoo "machines" such as that in the video, as I I recall there were only sponges in those whereas you had the rather effective scrubbing action of the Hoover. The drawback for these was you just had to wait for the carpet to dry and then thoroughly vacuum them. By coincidence I have been shampooing carpets today using a much later Vax machine (not the orange Vax shop vac style cleaner) which allows to shampoo and rinse the carpets with the dirty water being sucked up so it does not take so long for the carpets to dry.
We also had a mechanically driven shampoo "machine" here in the 1970s but really it could not have been much more effective than the manual one |

Adorable black poodle was just like the one we had growing up. I hope they weren't claiming the vacuum would get out dog hair because the poodle (along with one other breed) don't shed. The Electrolux originated in Stockholm. |

So much to see there, early fridge freezers and upright freezers. Who knew that there would be a tie up between Electrolux and Miele? Are those washers that appear before the Miele manufactured by Electrolux? They look like they may be semi automatic.
The little round dishwasher is semi automatic but is simple in operation and would be no bother to deal with whilst clearing up other things after a meal. In the 1965 report a Which? member said of it "If a bad man demanded my honour or my dishwasher, the latter would remain in violate". Not only was it substantially cheaper than the competition it was also "plug and play" - not requiring an expensive (at the time) installation.
