Carron Condon Bleu #2

Well bugger me if there are not two on at the same time. I should say that this version is quite rare in my experience, its the later ones with the glass oven doors you see most often. This one is probably not in as good condition as the first one but then it is only 99p

How about a nice big long one?

Range that is. This is a domestic not a commercial cooker and is the first time I have ever seen a chargrill on a domestic range - I have seen them as built in "domino" units of course. Its hard to tell if that is a griddle on top of the element or a grid.

Belling Compact Fantasia

This cooker is one third the size of the one previously posted! Its unusual in that it comes with a fan oven although there was also a fan version of the competing Creda Cavalier. It also has a dual element hotplate which I think neither the Creda nor the Tricity Contessa offered. I would say its mid 1970s.

North American readers might be interested in the connection unit also shown. No plugs for us - our cookers have to be hard wired into their own, exclusive circuit. On the other hand we always (or should always) have an isolating switch (and I have posted many here in the past - often with a power outlet). The cable travels down the wall to one of these simple junction boxes - you are looking at the back of course - where the cable from the cooker is connected. In the normal course of events the isolating switch should not need to be removed to connect the cooker

Re the GE processor. I have that machine and only have the one reversible slicing disk and the metal blade along with the blender attachment.  Odd they didn't include a picture of the blender jar they are including but didn't try and aren't sure if it goes with it.. all they had to do was try it.. LOL .  Whether there were more attachments I don't know.. I got mine as is as well. 
 
Miele dryer

Thanks Louis, I did wonder if it might have gone back to the 1960s with the raised back panel, but I thought it more likely to have been a commercial dryer. I must go back and check the (1973?) Miele brochure you posted some time ago just to remind myself what the appliances were like back then.
 
GE Processor

Pete

It struck me that it was missing a spindle for the slicing/shredding disk for surely it would be useless to run the slicer/shredder on top of the cutting blade. I did wonder if there might not have been some sort of cover for the cutting blade too to cover the upper part of the spindle. Amazed to see it sold here at all (I suppose it might have come from Australia) although it would also not be the first time I saw a UK plug (incorrectly) on a US voltage appliance.
