Oh my!!
And the seller is willing to split up the set! I guess this is Los Altos, CA but that is a good thing, because, let's face it - Robert's posts of things for sale get me into trouble!!! LOL

The first house I lived in had an oven that looked like that, and a Westinghouse drawer dishwasher; it would have been built in the mid-1950's, a few years before I was born. Only lived their through the end of 1st grade. All the appliances (except our 1960 Kenmore Model 80 w&d) stayed with the house. I'm going to dig through some photo albums and see if I can find one of the kitchen. Those appliances really triggered a sight-memory. I wonder if they're all Westinghouse? I remember those two big black knobs on the built-in oven. | ||

Its a 1954 Westinghouse, in pink i think
let's face it - Robert's posts of things for sale get me into trouble!!! LOL I know Paul, can you tell that I just love instigating getting others into trouble, it's delicious :-) I have the 1949/1950 version of this dishwasher, it really washes very well. I had it installed in our kitchen for about three years, I only took it out because of the window door KD12 I made. Being a roll-out it almost looks like a very vintage looking modern tall tub dishwasher. Here's an old post about the Westinghouse... CLICK HERE TO GO TO unimatic1140's LINK | ||

The dishwasher, oven and cooktop are definately Westinghouse, from around 1955 - 57. The fridge looks to be a newer model, possibly Westinghouse or Whirlpool. | ||

Size matters.
2 points: 1. Look at the efficiency for the size. How much energy is consumed per cubic foot to keep it at X temperature? 2. This is possibly more important than the first point. How much refrigerated space does one really need? Would you save money using a smaller, but less efficient, refrigerator if you didn't need that much cubic footage? Right now, Elginkid and I live under the same roof and share about a 1950 Frigidaire. It' pretty big for its day (although the shoebox freezer is nearly worthless). It doesn't draw much power, it performs quite well, it is extremely quiet, and we can fit everything we need inside it. Living with a smaller fridge has necessitated some lifestyle changes, but it has been a mostly good experience. I waste less food now because there is less space to loose things and forget about them until after they spoil. We have fresh food all the time because we can't warehouse lots of food in the fridge for weeks on end. The butter is spreadable because we keep it in a closed butter dish on the counter next to the refrigerator. Butter really doesn't have to be refrigerated if you use it within a week or so. The benefits for us include: lower overall power consumption, fresher food (the expense of having to buy food more frequently and in smaller quantities is offset by the reduction in waste), and having a really cool looking fridge in the kitchen. The disadvantages include: monthly freezer defrosting, little usable freezer space, not so good at making ice cubes. The last 2 items can be rectified by getting a small freezer and putting it in the butler's pantry. Overall, we love our old fridge. Also, consider how much waste is saved by keeping an appliance for 60 years as opposed to replacement every 5-7. Dave | ||
