Re: Exeter couple finally ditch 1950s appliances
We had a Bendix automatic washing machine in the '60s, I think it was given to us, you had to bolt it to the floor though. It was brilliant, so simple, very little to go wrong and it worked well. We brought it down to Dorset with us in 1970 and passed it on to someone in the village who was delighted with it. As we got it free it must have been pretty old then.
Quite a few of my rural customers down here had ancient appliances, probably couldn't afford to replace them, they also still had round pin plugs, probably for the same reason.
