Along Came
Our Most Important Appliance – The Washing Machine
The first washing machine was released in early 1691 where a patent was handed out for the ‘Washing and Wringing Machines’. I wasn’t then until 1752 that an early drawing appeared in the magazine “The Gentlemen” which was an English magazine from Germany strangely.
At one point in 1782, Henry Sidgier was given an English patent for his unique rotating drum washer.
The Electric washing machine came along in around 1904 when Louis Goldenberg who worked for the Form Motor Company.
By 1928 Electric washing machines were selling 1 million units a year, In 1934 the first laundrette opened in Texas with the use of coin slots and commercial laundry equipment was first produced.
Over the Second World War the production of washing machines stopped yet research continued. At this point over 60% of homes in America had a washing machine.
By the 1950′s Several manufacturers were producing these auto or at least semi automatic machines and also the first large commercial washing machine produced for the commercial industry. Front loading machines became the industry standard for washing machines in Europe with Miele washing machines leading the way with diffrent speeds. In the US top loading machines are much more commonly used, many believe the reason for this difference is the fact that many Europeans like prefer integrate their machines under worktops.
Because today’s machines have to conform to EU standards we are given a product which is far more economical and ‘Green’. Ultimately, this helps our planet and reduces carbon emmissions.
In the future it is hoped that these machines will use less power and water and progress is already being made on this with research into waterless machines or “airwash” technology which is being pioneered in Japan.
