Reply to comment by alarming_cock in My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use. by Secundus_Scipio

Hope the link works. Its in German but this model is used at min 0:28.
The knife at the back is for cutting out bad spots.

Electrolux still sells a stove with two oven zones combo. The drawback is that you have two smaller oven zones instead of one large. I like it you can cook two different things at different temperatures.

And for the price a combi oven would do a better job and is more versatile.

Having a toaster oven also helps do dual duty. Tbh I use mine more often than my full size range.

Reply to Durable summer casual work shoes? by Apollo144
I like my Jim Green African Rangers. Quite airy and cool, great for the summer... Maybe the more regular Vellie style if he really wants shoes, but I like a bit of ankle support...

I had one of these from 2007-2010. It was in a metal cabinet stand, so we stored the pots and pans underneath it.
We put clay flat tiles in both oven to line the rack for better heating.
Loved this oven- especially the two ovens !!

I remember those! Really really heavy to move. I loved the way the stove top slid in like a drawer.

Had something like this in one of my apartments built in the 60s! I loved it and miss that apartment.

The doors swing up, and out of the way, not down like a regular oven.

You can see this oven in use in the original Bewitched series.
Edit: for those that don’t know, the burners are on a drawer that pulls out.

Reply to SPEED QUEEN WASHERS; Are they worth it? Which model would be recommended for a large family, which does multiple loads of laundry a day. Doesn’t have to be fancy. It seems people choose SQ for their reliably, and quality, not because of the bells and whistles, or lack thereof… Thanks for any input!! by KaiBaird
I have ten kids so about 40 loads of laundry per week. We have two washers and dryers to keep up but my favorite machine is our maytag ‘commercial’ (it’s not really but it’s pretty heavy duty) with the retro looking plastic selector knobs.
It uses a lot of water but I don’t live where water is anywhere near scarce and you can set it to use less for smaller loads. Stuff gets nice and clean in just a quick 25 minute cycle. It also has a true hot wash as an option, some machines are getting rid of hot washes. I do wish it can a warm rinse option but if I really need that I just reset it to run another wash cycle as the rinse.

Ready to go a few more rounds! Send that bad Larry here before you throw it away. I bet it’s got another 30 good years left

Pretty much, yeah. You'll only really see the dual oven plus range in houses that belonged to more upper class folk. You still see them in rich people's modern houses today at a much higher frequency than in working class homes

Cause you essentially need to buy three things (two ovens and a range) instead of one, a range oven combo

My grandparents had one of those, and my grandpa still had the original owners manual in a filing cabinet in case he needed to make repairs.
