Demonstration by Richard (the owner) presenting the Electrolux Dishmaid Dishwasher, produced in 1961. Its manually operated using a small motor to drive the wash basket, you simply connect a hose to your hot tap and fill. It has an automatic drain overflow, when the water flows through the drain you switch off the hot water and time it for a wash programme.
Detergent and Rinse Aid is added through a slider door on the top, when the dishes are suitably cleaned the drain out the water, re-fill again to rinse. On the final rinse add rinse aid to assist the hot air drying.

Hello Phil, yes with a little marketing for more sales, probably wouldnt get away with it today, it does rather rumble along but does a good job for how its made !!

@unlikewise4512 3 года назад

Works impressively well for being from 61! Thats really cool

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Thanks, not bag for its time and back then it would have been very much a show off appliance to have and quirky.

An interesting way to wash dishes back in the early 1960’s

@WeHadOneOfThose 7 месяцев назад

Hello Martin, did a good job in its own unique way , great for everyday dishes , glasses etc !!

@justinmccowan2543 3 года назад

I work at Electrolux building new dishwashers, this one is quite cool compared to what I see on a daily basis!

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Hello Justin, yes I can imagine, the new machines are simply white boxes with a powerful pump and all look the same, this is very different and at the time looked fabulous with colour.

@Bunkysworkshop 7 лет назад

That is cool and amazing 😉 Thanks for the video

@WeHadOneOfThose 7 лет назад

Your welcome, it is a fab dishwasher, so simple in design !!

@mikejsretroarcade4612 3 года назад

This machine is definitely cool and probably cleans dishes better than the current dishwashers do... it seems like the new ones just rinse and never get completely clean, I remember the old dishwashers as a kid and your dishes always came out shiny clean. The only thing about this one I don’t like Is it looks very manual with each step, you have to be watching it. Cool video though, thx

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Yes it is an semi automatic dishwasher not with a timer, but fun to use with the user interaction.

@Caprifool 7 лет назад

I've had one of those. Works great with regular washing up liquid too. Which I think it was actually designed for originally.

@jenniferdevlin2805 3 года назад

Wow wow and wow this is awesome for me as I work for an appliance company in the UK xx. 😂

@zyborg47 3 года назад

A modern version of this would be nice, with modern automatic features, the style is perfect for a smaller kitchen

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Yes you can get the small box like "Bob" dishwashers that sits on the sink top and can even hold its own water in a tank on the top !!

@Marc-ox7fy 2 года назад

Seriously, this type looks really robust and simple, and something you could repair yourself when it breaks. Which then has an advantage to modern dishwashers. Or all modern devices. When a new device breaks nowadays, it's scrap metal.

@zyborg47 2 года назад

@@WeHadOneOfThose I have seen reviews of Bob, it looks ok, but very expesnive.

@zyborg47 2 года назад

@@Marc-ox7fy Still keep with the idea, but new versions. I think it is great, but running machine that old for any length of time may not be a good idea. I have given up the idea of having a dishwasher now, i was thinking of a counter top one, but the cons are more than the pro, the main con is, I can wash up by hand faster.

@jkalin196511 9 лет назад

@ReJoys777 3 года назад

We had this one it gives me so much sentimental memories. Me standing an looking into little window as a 3 yearing. My dad had it running into the mid eighties. Wanna sell it? My Mother passed away last year and that mashine was here joy 😁. I They belive she won in an itrudution campaign in Sweden 1959.

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Wow its amazing what childhood memories these appliances bring back, if you wish please contact us to discuss further.

@Retroscoop 6 лет назад

By the time one has filled and emptied the machine, one could have done the dishes in the classical way ;) According to the history of the company, the first dishwasher was from 1959 and called the D10 knicknamed "Round Jar". Is it the same, or was the Dishmaid already a better version ? Nice to see how it was operated, keep up the good = instructive "work" here on RU-vid.

@erossinema8797 2 года назад

This one seems semi- automatic. My countertop dishwasher is fully automatic. I'm not understanding why he has to be there to add rinse-aid during the cycle, and why the hose isn't attached to a sink adapter. It kinds of defeats the time saving, and hassle savings that mechanical dishwashers usually afford

@harper3261 3 года назад

I love it I wish I could get one

@mariacolon3046 3 года назад

I wonder what the price would’ve been for that dishwasher?

@Marc-ox7fy 3 года назад

49 pounds (@9.35), but what is that in present days money?

@Marc-ox7fy 3 года назад

Something like 50 pounds in 1960 apparently is something like 1000 pounds nowadays.

@syhooverman5418 9 лет назад

Great post but what a performance!!! Cant imagine many were sold when the colston turbo jet which was fully automatic was on the market at the same time.

@WeHadOneOfThose 9 лет назад

syhooverman Yes not many about and have seen more Colstons, but for simplicity I bet the Electrolux lasted longer albeit more user interaction, I have a Colston tabletop and was amazed by how many pipes , pulleys, belts, drives and cork seals it has...

@gregorymalchuk272 3 года назад

I love these old things, but a gearbox with at least one shaft seal below water seems like a rather questionable design decision. I would check the seal condition and make sure the gearbox is full of oil or grease.

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Hello Gregory, yes indeed , not a design that would be used today, we have checked this model and all good for now !!

@mrtodd3620 3 года назад

It doesn't look like the water is spraying with much force.

@WeHadOneOfThose 3 года назад

Hi Toddd, it doesnt have much force but then many dishwshers today dont require the force of a Kitchenaid to work etc especially with modern enzyme detergents.

@erossinema8797 2 года назад

Force? I couldn't see the water spraying at all. Pathetic machine

There was a slim cutlery basket that was fixed around the sides of the basket, t could be moved into different positions.

@poppylover2586 5 лет назад

It rotates!

@WeHadOneOfThose 5 лет назад

Yes the basket slowly rotates while a series of jets are fixed on the bottom and side at varying heights..

@liamhartley1533 3 года назад

Haha please tell me you actually don’t think the UK doesn’t have dishwashers? Ours are actually more advanced than ones you find in the US; they’re made of stainless steel not plastic and they heat their own water, no messing around with running the hot tap (faucet) to get the hot water through. This guy is a vintage appliance enthusiast.

@zyborg47 3 года назад

@David Johnson But people never used to be so lazy in the U.K and done a lot of stuff by hand. These days it as if the whole country have got lazy, with online food shopping and dishwashers. i have never had or used a dishwasher and to be honest I doubt i will, quicker to wash the things by hand.
