Hi Guys, especially UK……I’ve been remembering a unique dishwasher from the late 80’s/early 90’s. It was a compact Creda dishwasher and what made it unique was that it was a different format to full-size, slimline and countertop.
It was most similar to a slimline, but I’ve a feeling it was 55cm rather than 45cm, and it was shorter, door completely flush to bottom of machine, the idea being that by removing the door of a standard UK sink base cabinet it would slide straight in, onto the bottom of the cabinet, under the draining board. It was a pretty novel idea but an internet search has turned up absolutely nothing on it so far. I think it may have been called Creda Spacesaver. I’d love to hear any recollections, experiences or tales people have of it, and even better photos and manuals if such things are out there. Cheers, Paul | ||

@beehiveboy
I do indeed recall those space saving dishwashers and another whose brand I cannot remember is one that was on rails like a drawer you open the cupboard under the sink and pulled it out it loaded from the top when it was ready you threw in the powder and away it went, It reminds me a little of the F&P dishdrawers but it was not so smart :)

Hi Austin,
I had one of those pull out dishwashers back in the 90’s, when I was about 20 and renting a house with my brother. I got it at an auction for about £20. It was made by Servis, it was missing its rails so we just stood it on the kitchen floor. I seem to remember being able to get a surprising amount into it and it washing pretty well. Paul | ||

Hi ChesterMike,
That’s the Servis dishwasher I had when I first left home. It was fun and did a great job. The Creda was more like a conventional slimline dishwasher, front opening door etc. The big difference was that it was shorter, so rather than sitting on the floor it was installed into the drainer side of a conventional sink unit, leaving the continuous plinth below unchanged. | ||

Foraloysias, I had one briefly in the 90’s, it was fun, and washed well, I was glad to have it at the time. I’d love to find one, just for old time’s sake! I’m sure I could find a use for it. Unlikely to turn up though, I imagine they didn’t sell in great numbers and were more or less disposable, I’d be surprised to find one all these years later.

The pictures aren't very good sadly - it was listed before ebay had the zoom facility. Better than nothing though. Paul | ||

You might like this Paul
Hello Paul I have a few vintage dishwashers and one of them is a sort of predecessor of this creda. The kenwood dishwasher. It was designed to fit in a cupboard or on a bench or even hang on the wall. It has an impeller in the base that throws water around. 3 cycles and it sits and heats before each cycle the starts. It’s very noisy and quite efficient If loaded ok but it suits smaller crockery of that era. Ie tea cups and saucers small glasses etc. Not today’s mugs and tall wine glasses. It’s currently at my friends who is a collection of vintage dishwashers. I also have a Electrolux dish maid. A dishmaster and 2 colstons more to follow.

Hi Ricky,
I’m very jealous of your vintage dishwasher collection!!! I love that particular Kenwood a great deal, I’ve got a few magazine adds for it and I think a service manual for it somewhere. I’d dearly love to get my hands on a Hoover AutoJet too! Thanks for the pictures and info, they’re great. Paul | ||

I installed one of these when I was doing up the kitchen while I was living in York. Must have been around 1992. I found some old photos but they are not the clearest and some dodgy fashion choices. The units had already been ordered before the thought of a dishwasher which is why it’s not under the sink. Spot the old washer too.
You can see how flimsy the door was and I think it was quite noisy. It had a flap that opened the steam vent at the end of the cycle so you got a stream of steam out the front. I think it performed quite well although I’d not had use of a dishwasher before then. S | ||

Hi Paul
As an addition, I found this pick in the 1996 Seeboard catalogue. All the best Rob

Hello Paul.
Thought you might like a picture of me loading the kenwood where it’s currently living. Not for seeing pictures of me of course. But look in background. Not one but two …
