A Bendix Launderette in Lincoln

We visited our good friend Darren who has converted a garage into a new appliance display space, he specialises in renovation all his appliances especially the Bendix washing machines, many are the 1950`s bolt down variety. Take a look and see which you remember !!

We love the newly renovated Bendix semi automatic washing machines and also the

Parnall Spinwashers, these had a facility called a Sudzsaver which pumped the wash water into an outer tub so that you could re-use it for another washload, very eco friendly !!

Let us know what you think !!
