The dishwasher that also cleaned clothes

In 1907, Thor introduced the first electric clothes washer sold commercially in the United States and were appliance innovators throughout the 20th century.

They also introduced a combo washing machine and dishwasher in the 1940s.

Despite pretty major marketing at the time, the machines didn't do too well – most consumers were put off by washing their clothes and dishes in the same machine.  source
