these machines outlived the people that owned them

They certainly did, many still around on ebay and local sales. English Electric machines where made of heavy metal and enamel coated which helped.

These are larger and much better-looking than the ones we Americans had.

Hello, yes I often saw that your US machines where much more utilitarian , as ours we often on show in kitchens I think companies traded modern looks to add to sales .

What a beautiful machine.

Very nice wringer there. Also nice to see some top-loading agitator automatics that the U.K. had at one time. Our cousins had some interesting machines that side of the Atlantic for sure.

Hello Pat its a great wringer machine, the backbone of many British kitchens in the day , the Hotpoint UK top loader was scaled on the GE Filterflow , smaller size with heater and 1050 rpm spin etc ,

Absolutely pristine that.....my Mum had exactly the same machine....remember the sound it made when I was a kid......never forgot it! Great childhood memories!

Hi Colin, great memories, these where real workhorses back in the era, its amazing what sounds and even the hot soapy water smells just take us straight back to those times, Didi your mum have a spinner to go with it later on ?

My mum’s first washing machine was very similar to that one. I remember the little door in the side with the wringer in. She had the English Electric liberator tumble dryer too. English Electric also made the Lightning aircraft and the Deltic locomotive. Quite a company!

Hello the other wringer washer with side door was the Parnall, Hotpoint had theirs on the front, the English Electric Company had an impressive list of products they produced.

Older than our parents and still works faster and better than anything made today

It is , isnt it, love how the wringer stores away underneath and then you have a cover which acts as a working top, and all those controls for mains / motor on, heater on/off, engage gearbox for wash, engage pump to empty.

Hi Nicholas, its been fully restored by its user Darren, his display room is like walking back in time, all machines taken fully apart, painted when required then re-assembled. Mind back then the enamel tops and thicker paint leave many of them looking great after 60+ years.

Thank You Mr.S , it has been fully restored by Darren its owner & user, hes just built the new Appliances Room and only has fully restored models that are used in rotation. The English Electric Company made many household appliances from mixers to Cookers, along with all the laundry appliances, next video is the Liberator Twintub. that morphed into the Hotpoint we know and love today.

It's more like Granny owns one, lol. My Man used to own one.

Cheers, yes I do indeed, which is a bonus, actually on this I didnt film, it was Steve, who did a great job, I just edited it all. It was from when we had the virtual meet-up over Easter. I have been known to drrol on about how to and best ways of filming but that was only because I had the best teachers when I did the film shoot with Adam Hart Davis for "Just Another Day, the crew loved the stuff so much they kept on filming for themselves and taught me a lot. That sounds like a good holiday for me ha ha, filming your warehouse appliances lol.
