Single oven?

"if it were only closer..."

How many times have we all thought that? This is beautiful! Sounds like they have the fryer and griddle accessories, doesn't it? And $75.

Beauteous!

Did '55 have the Custom Cooker option that they had in '56? A rotisserie was also available in both '55 and 56 I believe, at least in double oven models, maybe single oven too?

or was Hotpoint a more deluxe product than GE at that time? It seems so, at least from appearances.

It was GE's prestige line at the time, often sold in Hotpoint-only showrooms. Now it's GE's second-from-the-bottom budget line, with the Home Depot exclusive Americana builder's special brand at the very bottom.

You have to remember that Hotpoint invented the Calrod sealed element. It was the very first and the thinnest sealed rod surface unit. GE bought Hotpoint to be able to have the Calrod. Maybe it was by some agreement that Hotpoint ranges were generally more fully featured than GE ranges in the bells and whistles way, but GE did introduce the P-7 oven. For quite a while, at least into the 60s, Hotpoint had designers with more flair than GE did. The two product lines were kept very separate for quite a while, but economics sorta started to change that in the 60s & 70s. GE and Hotpoint dryers, for example, were similar in the first models around WWII when they were all based on Hamilton's design, even if the HP did have Calrod elements while the GE had open coils, but they diverged with Hotpoint getting into water dryers and staying with a low air flow design for their vented dryers. The final break in dryer design came when GE introduced their high speed, high airflow dryer in '57. GE never marketed a water dryer and their combos were very different and totally separately designed, even if the HP combo was only available for a year or less.

Hotpoint arrives home...

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a long road trip... to pick up the Hotpoint! A beautiful and unusual for sure, and overall am very happy, though not exactly in "excellent" condition... Will now undertake some major cleaning and beauty treatment! By the way, it looks like brushed chrome to me... Note the side panels are grey/blue porcelain.


Post# 682625 , Reply# 13   6/5/2013 at 19:42 (3,939 days old) by moparguy (Virginia)        

It is missing its clock knob, lower main oven heating element, and the rear panel behind the dash, and the deep well pot... And the deep well element in particular has certainly had a lot of use!

But that's what a good cleaning day is for! And how could I refuse this beautiful stove!

Finally... and apologize that I don't know how to load multiple photos to one entry... it does still have the adjustable rack and rotisserie in the main oven!

Congrats Moparguy, it is a beautiful stove.  The Hotpoint has some serious steel in the oven racks. Best of luck with it. alr
