What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
My Mom washing clothes in our basement using a Bendix Economat. Also, in 1982 I moved into a duplex that had a 1939 Westinghouse electric stove. It was the best stove I ever cooked on! The oven had the most even heat and even being 43 years old the oven temp was right on the money. Sadly, the oven stopped working, and the landlord replaced the stove with a new Magic Chef, there was no comparison.
