After adding a further 46 photos to my photo collection (please take a look, I have organised it a bit as well), I came across this pic. If you haven't seen this program I suggest you have a look as it is all about the evolution of the washing machine. The only part I think is tiresome is the car stunt that really has nothing to do with anything. But apart from that it's very informative.

Tin Hunkin has said he's an "enthusiast" for washing machines. I guess he hasn't realized that people actually collect these things. |

I'm not very familiar with British washing machines. But I will have a go anyway. On the top: Probably Hotpoint. Second row: On the right: Hotpoint Third row: The frontloader at the right could be a Bendix Fourth row: Creda dryer, Hoover (Keymatic?) washer, Bendix (?) Fifth row: The last two from left to right: Zanussi and Colston Sixth row: Number four seems like a Philips to me. I think I see a few more Zanussi's, but did Zanussi ever have square doors? |

I can't help but notice that all the ma-cheans are white. Perhaps those familiar with the appliances in UK know if they ever came in colors like in U.S.? Did they coincide with the color themes on this side of the pond? |

Let's see if I can make then out - this is quite difficult! I don't know models unfortunately. Working from top, left to right. Hotpoint Liberator, Hoover 800 1981ish, Hotpoint (basic model), Fridgidaire spin dryer?? Servis MK72, another Hoover, Bendix, Servis wringer washer??, Creda compact dryer, Hoover Keymatic, another Bendix, Indesit L series, unknown twinny, fridgidaire spinner?? Hoover washer (twinny), another Servis, unknown twinny, Candy, Hoover 800 1970s, another Bendix, 2 Electra/Phillips dryers, unknown, Phillips 90series with no door, another Hoover, poss Phillips/Electra, unknown, another Hoover, Creda debonair, another Servis and finally another Hoover. Phew probably 5 out of 10. So Mike do you have the answers and also possibly the years made? Any better pics too? I love 1970s front loaders. Regards Rob |
