Retro Mother’s Day Ad: GE Mobile Maid Dishwasher, 1959

It’s what you’ve always wanted for Mother’s Day, isn’t it? Not just any dishwasher, but one with wheels. Now that’s love.

What’s interesting is that the ultimate message is not all that different from what we see in today’s Mother’s Day ads – Dad trying to help free up some time for Mom to “relax.” You can be the judge of what would help you spend your relaxation time more wisely – a spa certificate or a mobile dishwasher. In the meantime, have a Happy Mother’s Day!

FUN FACT: GE has been a key innovator in the world of dishwashers, including the GE Profile Dishwasher with SmartDispense Technology introduced in 2005. The Profile is the first dishwasher to hold a full 45-oz bottle of liquid detergent and dispense based on how dirty the dishes are, what cycle you’ve selected, and the water hardness. Who knew that even existed? (Source: GEappliances.com)
