 This just popped up on the Palm Springs Craigslist. I never realized how long these were. $3,800 is a lot of money for a 220 volt novelty item. CLICK HERE TO GO TO twintubdexter's LINK on Palmsprings Craigslist

That is really neat, to keep the heat out of the house and make outdoor get-togethers more interesting. | ||

 The snow in Palm Springs is really unusual. Other than that, this listing seems completely legit.

 I thought the same thing. How and why is this on Palm Springs CL?
A Partio cart strikes me as something that would have only been considered when building/remodeling a home or outdoor space. In any other case, it wouldn't likely have been plug & play, and in addition to the sales price one would have had to consider the cost of provisioning 240v service to the patio area, perhaps in addition to existing 240 service for a dryer and/or stove and/or oven, which could have required an entire service panel upgrade.
I can see why these are rare. They were overkill for the average backyard griller during the period they were being produced.

GE Partio Cart
Palm Springs is the perfect place for one of these outdoor cooking centers, and there is not likely a single house in PSs that cannot come up with a 30 amp 240 volt line. This appliance comes with a 50 foot cord so if you don't install a dedicated outlet on the patio you can drag the cord inside like we do at Jeff's house and use an outlet that is there for an extra dryer or electric range.
Even in California homes have not been built without 240 volt service since well before WW2. John L. | ||
