English Rose Kitchen
When it was new this must have been an expensive kitchen, the double doors and angled handles indicate that it was English Rose. The oven is a 1980s replacement - Philips (by the look of it before it became Philips Whirlpool) as is the ceramic hob which is Tricity. The size of the oven housing indicates that it originally held a Moffat oven, and probably one of the earlier ones of Canadian manufacture. Looks like a cupboard was removed to accommodate a dishwasher

Speaking Of English Rose
Here is a catalogue from the 1970s showing the later styles. Yes that IS a Westinghouse range you can see, for some reason ER frequently displayed their kitchens with Westinghouse appliances.
It would be something of an understatement to say that the seller is optimistic in their price expectations .....

Frigidaire Kettle
I would place this as late 1980s too, maybe early 1990s, or course it has nothing to do with the GM frigidaire

Here is a blast from my past
I bought my parents one of these as a gift in the 1970s, although it worked OK it was a bit small to be of much use.

Twosome
Shows how the machine developed, now with heater (although also available without) and emptying pump. This new style came in in 1953 and was virtually unchanged throughout the life of the machine, this one is from around 1966 or so.
One of Hoover's most inspired bits of marketing, got a Hoover wringer washer? Upgrade to a twin tub with a spinarinse. Want a washing machine now but cannot afford it and don't want HP. Buy either your washer or spinner now and add the other part when you can- no need to wait for at least some help on wash day. Small kitchen? Easily splits onto two parts so you can store separately.
The spinarinse has been modified, the pull up exits pipe must have been disabled and a new hose fitted, possibly a new pump too. This set also has the bridging piece, which are quite hard to find

English Rose;
I would guess they had fairly easy access to Canadian built Westinghouse Ranges.

Philips coffeemaker:
This looks like the first Philips coffeemaker. It was introduced in 1967. The first model had a round light, no button and a cloth filter. Later models didn't have that filter anymore and soon a button was introduced, clients wanted that and other coffeemakers had one.
As a matter of fact, this model was probably manufactured in Groningen. In the 1960's Philips moved the production of Domestic Appliances (Philips DAP) to Groningen. In 1989 the production was moved to another town. The main office of the division remained here until 2001.
I have been a member of the Philips DAP consumer panel for a while in the early 90's. One of the appliances we advised on was a coffee maker. A much newer one ofcourse. Interesting to see how such things go.
AEG washer/dryer combo:
That machine was built by Lepper, IIRC we discussed that before. Lepper was the manufacturer of Matura. See this thread for pictures of a Matura:

re; coffe makers,
We had Norelco ones here in the 70's. quite large, black, and silver. All of the angles were curved from the top and back, and upper base.

Lec
Lec always seemed like pretty much BOL refrigeration to me and this is a good example of it. A bit rough on the outside at least its clean on the inside

Zanussi Freezer
Although a bit more upmarket than Lec, this is pretty BOL by Zanussi standards. Early 1980s
