It's been awhile since I was here. But we have a, what I think would be an early 50s Crosley Shelvador fridge at work. All the pictures i've seen of them from that time look like this one. Very round corners and sides, button handle. Anyhow, it hadn't been defrosted in about 7 or 8 years. Of...

You can delete this after I find out if you want. But what happened to the classicappliances URL? I had no idea this site changed!

Lately i've been fascinated by the different fridge designs out there. Here's is something that doesn't get asked much, what's your favorite fridge design? Personally I like Maytag's the best.

Haven't been here for quite some time. Well we just bought fleecy fabric softener. I haven't used any fabric softener for 5 years, and before that it was always dryer sheets. I remember my grandma using downy in the maytag washer. Made the whole house smell good. What are the best smelling...

Gas vs electric Well that depends on the price of the gas and electricity. Also, if i'm not mistaken, gas does have higher energy than an equivalent electrical unit, but all dryers uses similar heat output (so the burner is burning less gas than the element is running current). It can get...
