The Last Word In Automatic Dishwashing (1950)

[@cnnw3929]

I have a 1965 vintage Sears Roto-Rack dishwasher that heats to 145 Fahrenheit.. I consider it better than my KitchenAid portable that was made in the mid 1980s. My built-in Whirlpool from 2009 rarely gets used, because my 50 year old Roto-Rack continues to perform to my specifications. Better, in fact, than the two newer units in my collection!

[@Melissa0774]

Hobart is a company that's most known for making restaurant dishwashers and commercial kitchen equipment now.

[@stevencoltrane88]

KitchenAid was Hobart’s residential brand, (which they later sold to Whirlpool), but they made tons of home appliances, most people just don’t know that KitchenAid was really Hobart.

I like the way it's built into the sink!

[@georgiannmaloney6594]

Wish they still made these dishwashers. I want one in my kitchen.

[@KShip148]

If I had a dishwasher that ran a complete cycle in 9 1/2 minutes, I'd die of happiness. I've been fascinated by the Youngstown Kitchens Jet Tower Dishwasher ever since hearing about it a few years ago.

Everything (Appliance) in this commercial is worth thousands today!

"At normal 55 pound city water pressure" OMG where in hell is this magical place?

[@florencecavallaro4599]

can we still buy these?????i love the 1950s

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

You probably can used online or something. My sister loves the 50’s and 60’s retro stuff too. Only thing she doesn’t have is a dish washer from then lol she has a portable counter top dish washer it works just as well.

[@gyorgyt.2246]

Nálunk még a 80'-években sem voltak ilyen modern gépek!:D

[@idaannkegel5553]

I wonder what detergent powder was used in the dishwasher in the 1950 models?Was it Finish Powder?😊

[@wishingstar84]

Pity this design didn’t catch on. I like it.

[@jamescarrington5521]

Oh, it DID catch on; in fact, there were many, MANY early dishwashers of similar design, and in fact, MOST were top loading, not front loading. We got our first one in 1968 or 69, a "coppertone," or dark brown, GE. It was on wheels and you pulled it over to the sink to load it. I think Electra-sol was the prevailing brand of detergent until Cascade came out.

[@Eszra]

How I see it. I want a really good Dishwasher. I can use it for pots and pans and large gathering of friends or Family. I can wash most things by hand cause I don't mind doing it. I'm thinking of getting a counter top dishwasher to take care of baby items like bottles and other items that need a good cleaning.

[@mikestubbs5242]

Most/all dishwashers ARE really good, provided you... follow the directions? That said, a countertop is always severely compromised in one thousand different ways and will lead to disappointment. Just use your actual dishwasher and read the manual.

[@tripjet999]

"By the time you're finished loading/unloading/drying/cleaning the parts, etc., you could have washed & dried TWO loads by hand! LOL.

[@simonemartini3017]

Great music cute guys

[@Thedonsmoney25823]

9:36 the disposer, 10:14

[@itsbrittnaybittchh8809]

Isn't it funny dishwashers came out in the fifties but never really became a staple that everyone has

[@danielbell9779]

Dishwasher companies must not have thought of the drying cycle yet.

[@Anonymous-il8yl]

To be fair, it’s called a “dish-washer” not a “dish-dryer”

[@patcola7335]

With water that hot it didn't need a heater to dry. They could flash dry opening the lid.

[@postersm7141]

Actually, the Thor that came out 10 years prior to this had a dryer component and it would also wash your clothes. Look it up the Thor auto magic.

[@DAZNOODLES07]

I love how they call the person in the video "house wife" and not just her name.

[@patcola7335]

That was her role and that was how it was for centuries.

[@cicada9471]

​@@patcola7335and it needs to return

[@gcfifthgear]

What, if any, detergent or soap was used in the earliest automatic dishwashers? Seems to me you would have a suds-lock problem with the early detergents and soap film from the soap products then made

[@jamescarrington5521]

Dishwashers have ALWAYS used a no or low suds detergent, no soap, and up until very recently, were chlorine bleach-based; now, most detergents are enzyme-based.

[@davidpar2]

Original detergents didn’t suds up; that was the result of an additive used when top loading automatic clothes washers became popular in the 50s.

[@danielbell9779]

When did that company shut down?

[@tbaker4736]

“She noars..” (knows)😂😂 Ohh 1950s

[@deloadgaming]

Hello

[@ziutasow2244]

HI!

[@stanleystriker7065]

Howdy!

[@finneverwins]

Sup

[@opencouchgaming8100]

Yo

[@finneverwins]

You still alive?

[@booring2]

meanwhile in soviet russia there was no such thing as housewife, women were equal with men and were working in factories, construction, military and else

[@garcjr]

Not during the Stalin years.

[@Kubulek17]

they also didn't have the technology to manufacture them. Automatic washing machines weren't available till the late 70s and even then they were based on licenses from Italy from brands such as Ariston
