Range Hood From my experience, nothing but nothing beats a Vent-a-Hood. I attended the factory training at the Vent-A-Hood factory in Texas. They had a working display set up with the most popular brands. Believe me, nothing out preforms a Vent-A-Hood I saw it with my own eyes! Very nice...

Broan Nutone Bath Fan The parts are easily obtained from the Broan Nutone Parts Store website online. Both items are available.

Just heard on ABC News GE sells appliance division to Haier. A sad day in America.

Mini Ice Cubes If I recall correctly, Magic Chef used an icemaker that made similar shaped cubes.

Vent a Hood We love our Vent a Hood. I don't think a better range hood can be found.

Lawrys Prime Rib Kevin: Have been to Lawrys in Chicago a number of times. Absolutely love it. I have found most of their recipes on line. Did you know the building used to be the McCormick (of farm inplement fame) Home?

Johnsons Paste Wax Used to have a parquet floor in the foyer.....was a lot of work to do but never looked better when freshly waxed.....and I loved the smell!

KDS57 Exactly like my first KitchenAid in 1974

Gibson Appliances I had a Gibson top of the line range in fact I sold a lot of Gibson ranges. Very few problems and baked like a charm. Had a rotisserie in the oven and completely enjoyed that. There was nothing wrong with Gibson ranges. People seem to want to always put down WCI products...

Norge aka Magic Chef In the 80's sold a number of Magic Chef Laundry pairs. There was a lot to talk about when selling. The motor was 3/4 HP at that time. When you showed a customer the tub......well nothing else was close. At that time you could say it was a company owned by Maytag. They...

Kathy Mitchell It appears Kathy might be indulging in too many dump cakes herself!

Maytag Suds Saver Over the years had a couple Maytag with suds savers. We had a Mustee Drain Tub that was specifically designed for suds saver models. Super easy to use and served as a utility sink as well. My parents has suds savers as well and they used a galvanized garbage can which did a...

Waste King Grill These were actually designed to be used indoors. Obviously you needed a real good hood. Often times this was done in a fireplace enclosure.

Windfresh from Sams Club I can't tell you what it has in it. I know I am satsified with our laundry and like the fact I don't need much and it doesn't suds up too much. I have always preferred powdered detergent. Menards also carries Sun in pails which may or may not be the same thing. It...
