It won’t matter in the future, because nobody will be able to afford to own their own property and this need to buy appliances. They’ll be at the mercy of whatever junk the landlord puts in, and if it breaks, it’s on them to buy more crap junk to replace it. Me thinks the future of appliances...

One of the neighbors used to have a slightly older version of that microwave. I liked how they still had the Radarange branding. I’m guessing this appliance set are early to mid 2000s by the looks of them. I remember that fridge being sold at Home Depot in white.

At one point the Sunray Stove Company was located in Delaware, OH. Some Caloric ranges during the 1990s have a location of Florence, SC on the info tag.

Looks to have a fluorescent light and guessing a top infra red broiler. I believe this came also with more traditional styled black grates, branded Caloric with Ultra Ray Broiler. https://www.facebook.com/share/19GqcQZXE8/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’ve too noticed that the white models tend to be higher in price than stainless steel, it used to be the other way around! The sales seem to be promoting the stainless model only. Many times the higher end models also only come in stainless or some variant thereof. It’s rather rare to see a...

Can we keep political bashing and such discussions in the dirty laundry section? I understand you don’t like Ron DeSantis or Republicans but obviously not the whole country is going to share your opinion. I happen to live in Florida and I personally find your cut downs offensive. This isn’t...

Overpriced and rusty https://www.facebook.com/share/158ZN7Pj9i/?mibextid=79PoIi

Seems like though there didn’t seem to be any appliances with polarized plugs before the late 70s/early 80s, the receptacles themselves have been at least since the 1940s, or at latest the early 1950s(?) I wonder why that was.

Another oldie I recall user “human” (Edgar) on vacuumland had a 1972 Singer system he had replaced just a couple of years ago. Furnace rusted out was was unsafe if I recall right the Ac still worked.

That looks similar to the ones I saw awhile back, I believe it’s a Lion’s Club building or similar group. I believe that design continued to be built after GE sold its central air conditioning division to Trane around 1982.

My parents house had a 1976 Fedders central unit, it was replaced about 2003 so it wasn’t as old then as it would be now, but definitely one of the older ones I saw. It had two compressors if I remember right so I guess it was a two stage system. I was sitting at a red light a while ago and...
