AMANA SELF-CLEANING ELECTRIC RANGE
These were always neat looking ranges, they were originally a Corning design that Amana got when they bought Cornings cooking appliance devision. They were not without thier problems however but very cool just the same.

Nice Amana-Queen
Love the solid tub and speckles, can't to play! That 80's ORANGE was so prevalent back then, it was a knee jerk to the 70's avocado craze!

Central vacs are pretty rare around here - not sure why when it would be so nice in so many homes.
It is a self-cleaning range, we didn't try that while I was cleaning it - it was already clean so we didn't bother but it did seem to have a pretty accurate oven.

Indeed central vacs are pretty uncommon. My architecture teacher actually discussed that fact. He said they were probably the best innovative major appliance for a home. "and you dont need to drag out your eurE!ka" as he said! Best teacher in my school! He said out of the dozens of houses he has built for clients, most didn't really want a Central vacuum.
My grandparents house was quite surprising to me, for them to not have a central vacuum. The house was one of the most expensive, and high end houses when it was built in 1915, for Tom Dennison, who was definitely not short on change, if you know what i mean.
The shear size of the house is what is bizarre about it though. Many other mansions for the time had them.

That washer is TOL, or at least close to it. Shouldn't the tub be SS? I never liked the needlenose look of the agitator cap...
AMANA WASHERS
This style was the first Amana washers and dryers the washer is not TOL and I don't believe any Amanas at this point had SS tubs. These washers like SQs were noisy sort of average machines of no particular greatness. They tented to have a lot of durability problems with pumps center seals, belts and transmissions.
