Lots of vacuums--hence Eluxkid...Miele 1203 washer.1402 dryer...Original Miele rotary iron. Dacor dual-fuel range in Palm Desert house along with a Kitchenaid Superba wall oven, dishwasher and built-in refer. Kenmore TOL radiant range in Seattle apartment. Lots of vacuums!!!
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I want both a 30 and a 40" Flair Custom Imperial range side by side in kitchen. Given up TOO many Flairs in past!!
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
Yes, there are pictures of me riding on Moms model 30 Lux. I still have that machine. Grew up with Thermador built-in appliances and moved in 1965 to a house with GE. Cooktop with hood controls, refer with door pedal. Fell in love!! Always had MOL Kenmore w/d.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Too many vintage vacs that Ive passed on as well and my Gulp...Flair ranges. Boy, I wish I had those again! Do like my new Kitchenaid stuff and really impressed with my new Kenmore range in Seattle. Have to admit, as a professional chef, I DO think that electric cooking is now faster than gas! I grew up with GE pushbuttoms and I miss them...controlled heat over the burner, no longer on and off...on and off!
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
Yes! Kirby rebuilds, love central vacs and alsways tinkering with them!!
