What do you all want for a holiday gift in the appliance world?

[washernoob]

So whats everyone hopping to get for the holidays?

For me, as awesome as it would be, a Miele vacuum would be sweet, but I dont think thats going to happen!

I am hoping to get a kitchenaid mixer though. Always wanted one after my mom threw out our old one for some odd reason even she doesn't know why.

I either want a vintage one or a new red one, with metal gears of course!

My Holy Grail is a Foodarama refrigerator. It would be nice to see that under the tree, but that's not going to happen!

A more practical gift that I would like is a serger sewing machine.

I recently bought myself 2 16" GE Vortalex fans with PSC motors....from me, to me, with love. lol

 

[xraytech]

what I'd really like to see under the tree is a 1960 GE Liberator range in Chiffon yellow, but 2 certain gifts I'll be getting is a new diamond and sapphire ring from my father, and a brand new Regina Steemer from me to me

 

[autowasherfreak]

A Frigidaire "Thumper" would be nice, a 1972 Whirlpool washer with matching dryer in harvest gold. Maybe another vintage Kirby or Electrolux one can never have to many vacuums

 

[appliguy]

I would like...

a circa 1955 GE Fridge Combo, a circa 1955 Frigidaire Thrifty 30 Range, and a circa 1967 Sears Kenore Washer-Dryer Combo for my laundry closet......PAT COFFEY

P.S. Sam The 1960 GE Range you want did not come in Chiffon Yellow...it came in Canary Yellow, GE never called any of it's yellow colors chiffon.

1959, '60, or '61 GE cooktop, wall oven, and a right hand opening refrigerator. Any color, or a mix.

Here's a River Park home listed in a local real estate company, the cooktop/range hood and the gorgeous tile work aren't original to this large 1960 kitchen.

I would love to get a Kenmore Roto-Rack dishwasher, but I have a snowball's chance in hell of that happening... Hubby keeps threating to buy me a crusher instead!

 

[michaelman2]

For Christmas I want:

A husband that is genuine.........okay now back to reality....I would love a decent iron with a steam generator tank. The Rowenta is giving out.

 

[autowasherfreak]

A husband that is genuine.........

I would love to have one of those as well, LOL.

A dishwasher!!!!!

O'Keefe & Merritt Aristocrat range and a Foodarama fridge.

Bugsyjones - there was a Foodarama on Craigslist (San Fran, CA area) last week - the compressor had been removed (that could be replaced) but it had everything else including juice pitchers. No phone#, I sent an e-mail and then the listing was deleted. The price will make you absolutely sick: $40.00, I'm still cryin'.

I saw that one.

It was in decent shape too. But I'd rather have it with all the internals like the compressor, etc.

Also it was a gazillion miles away. I need something close. At that price, I'm certain it sold fast.

[michaelman2]

Hey Jim/Autowasher....I had to LOL when I typed it..hahahah. Now for the iron......

 

[58limited]

Tim

It was pretty far from me too, but at $40, I think shipping would have been less than I expect to have to pay for a good Foodarama in the end. The missing compressor didn't worry me, even though I would prefer the original to be present.

 

[whirlpolf]

not a husband

but a nice Cabrio/Oasis in black and in 220V/50Hz ;-)
(living in Lala-Land here, I know...)

[mattl]

Wow, I've been looking for a Ronson Cook and Stir for some time! I keep getting outbid on ebay, been 3 or 4 up for auction in the last few months. I guess I'm just too cheap. Who knows perhaps someday I'll get lucky.

I'd like a set of those little Norge portables.

Portable Clothes Washer for the Kitchen

I won't mind getting a decent classic KM/WP-type portable washer to hookup in the kitchen in my efficiency apartment. It would be nice to wash a few small loads mostly of wash cloths, socks, and other small items, along with the occasional shirt and pants load until I can use the floor's laundry center. If all else fails, would be open to one of those Haier or other branded miniature top loaders.--Laundry Shark

 

[maytagbear]

to be precise :

Miele S 5281 Callisto with SEB 228.

Lawrence/Maytagear

 

[ronhic]

I'll have a Bamix stick mixer please.....to replace my aged (and free) Black & Decker...

Ronson cook and stir

Matt and Lawrence: Don't hate me, but picked up a Cook & Stir this summer at a yard sale for $3. Haven't used it yet. Actually, saw it at the sale, passed it up, went back the following week (this is one of those people that has a yard sale every week), it was still there. So, I bought it. I don't have the instruction/recipe book. So, not really sure how to use it correctly. I'm hoping another site member has one (hint, hint, Rich) and I can get a copy.

Will keep you posted on my success or failure with it.
