Recently I becaue interested in manual press citrus squeezers and borrowed one (Ra Chand, all aluminum) from a friend for a week. It was ok. Then, I saw on my craigslist a Sunkist commercial juicer, which I bought for $20. Wow! It worked worlds better! But, it made a very loud noise while...

I remember reading about copper inserts for Kitchenaid mixers years ago, and bought one at a thrift store yesterday. I do not see any markings on it that say "Kitchenaid," however. It measures 8" diameter from lip to lip. It is about 6 3/4" tall. It has a lot of patina and looks old. From the...

It looks to be in good shape for its age and how long it has been in a basement. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/d/oakland-1930s-maytag-vintage-washer/7465187341.html

I really liked my boyfriend's Samsung gas range bought in 2015. I liked the variety of burner sizes, from simmer to super big, the spot on oven, the three oven racks, one of which was on ball bearings, the proofing oven option, the continuous burner grates, the touchpad--really, there was...

I came across this Ironrite model 85 for sale in Napa County, California. From the photos, I can tell it was not used very much. But, so few people have space for these large machines, and the price, $280.00, is very high. I sent the seller a message noting that the brand was not Westinghouse...

I have always been fond of these Sunbeam toasters with the automatic lowering of the bread -- and how it knows if you just want to reheat the toast. On the bottom it reads "Service 20-3 AG." 1375 watts, made in United States America. It must be pretty old as the side guides do not adjust to...

I have a 4 quart oil capacity Waring Pro Deep Fryer. Just like two other deep fryers I tried, even though the fryer will indicate that it is up to the selected temperature, it is far short by a deep frying thermometer that I know is correct. For example, if I set the fryer at 375 F, and the...

I have recently acquired three home deep fryers, a Hamilton Beach, Rival, and T Fal, and all three reach a maximum of about 345 F when the thermostat is set to the maximum setting, which is 375 F. Does anyone know if I unscrew the heating element device, will I find something I can adjust? Or...

Unsuccessfully, I have tried to give away this rare GE flatplate ironer before on this site. I am hoping that this time, since I have included photos, that I will be successful. I don't use this, and maybe there is someone out there who would like to have it. The heating plate is on top, and...

One of my sons is in the market for a new washer and dryer (His Bosch Nexxt Washer has a weak pump and needs a new door gasket). He would like a washer that does the job quickly and well. I was at a laundromat recently and noticed he wash cycle was 23 minutes -- and the clothes came out clean...

I am looking for the FL washer with the highest temperature boost heater. I was hoping that I could buy a new Miele, but I see that in the U.S. the only model available is small. Quality is the most important issue.

Hi, Another son, who is remodeling his kitchen, asked me if I would recommend a Thermador suite of appliances (rangetop, ovens, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, wine cooler) over different manufacturers like Wolf and Sub Zero. An appliance salesman told him that the Thermador appliances...

My son sent me this photo of this Crown Range and asked me what I knew about it. I have never seen one like it before, and wonder if all the large doors are for ovens. Also, what time period do you think the color indicates?  It does seem odd to me because the top structure does not match in...

Hi All, Not long ago there was a post about a very large commercial Chambers range that was in a house for sale in Pennsylvania. One of my sons had just bought an older, large home in Chicago, and I sent him the photo of that Chambers range because I thought it matched his home. He has...

Hi All, Has anyone here visited Lee Maxwell's Wringer Washer Museum in Eaton, Colorado? I have decided to do that the first part of May, and I wondered if anyone on this site had seen it and had any advice. Thanks, George

I found this Miele S558 (in Mystic Gray color--not the red in the photo) vacuum with Power Head on craigslist. The owner said that it had been used for a year and then put into storage, which may be true as it looks little used. The electric power head works, but the mechanism that releases the...

I have a friend who is going to buy a 30" freestanding gas range. So, first of all, do you have any brand preferences? Second, he has a one year old Samsung stainless steel refrigerator that is on the same wall as his range is, so the new range could match the refrigerator. It looks like the...

This 330 watt Hotpoint iron's soleplate is 5.75 inches long by 3.25 inches wide, so it is quite small. It seems to have had little wear, and I was told that the brown flannel bag is original. This was a gift to me, but since I neither display it nor use it, i would like to pass it on to...

My friend's oven in his Thermador Range (model GCRG 364 GL serial S311008) is not working properly. The problem is that very small movements of the dial cause big swings in temperature. For example, on the dial ‘off’ is at 12 o’clock, 150 degrees is at 3 o’clock, 350 is at 6 o’clock, and 500...

Do any of you have a recommendation for an outdoor, compact, beverage refrigerator? This is for a home in Burlingame, CA, a pretty temperate area. I am looking for a combination of quality and value. It is going to be part of a BBQ set up, but it will be freestanding, not built-in. Thanks...
