I know that universal motors are used in small appliances like blenders, mixmasters and hair dryers, but I was supprised to hear him say that his washing machine used one, because I can't recall seeing anything other than induction motors in washing machines here in the US since perhaps the late '40s.
I thought Britain got rid of residential DC power long ago, maybe I'm wrong about that? <G>
Is my understanding of the motors used in US washing machines correct?
