AEG dishwashers

It was in 1886 when Josephine Cochran got worn-out of scrubbing stubborn food left-over in her dishes and pans. It prompted her to invent the first practical dishwasher. Though she had fun using it herself, only hotels and restaurants patronized her contraption after she introduced it in a World’s Fair in 1893. Her dishwasher was a hand-operated mechanical dishwasher.

Almost in the same time, in 1883 Berlin engineer Emil Rathenau obtained the license for the lamp patents of Thomas Edison. He then created 'Deutsche Edison Gesellschaft' (DEG) (German Edison Company) in Berlin. In 1887, the company was given a new name 'Allgemeine Electricitäts Gesellschaft' (AEG) (General Electric Company).

AEG then reinforced Cochran’s introduction of dishwasher into the world. AEG dishwasher along with its vacuum cleaners, electric cookers, washing machines heaters, and refrigerators reformed our way of life.

We don’t know the special features of Cochran’s version but during her time, it was the most advance household machine people wondered. Today, AEG dishwasher amazes us with easy control panels in LCD display and immediate program feedback. The dishwasher is practical because it is set up to save water, detergent and electricity. So silent and marvelously designed, AEG dishwasher allows us to experience the finest wash performance.
