How do they replace parts? Just have to search for spares out in the wild? Im sure the company is out of business / dont provide any support for these anymore?
​
Super cool though!

I'd have an open mind if people would type out their full ideas vice "Indian style cotton mattress, thank". I put "cotton mattress" into the search bar and we've talked of this topic zero times in the sub.

I could get an induction range for $1.2k last spring with a single oven or I could get a dual oven for $3.5-4.5k that was induction. Making them dual just really drives up the price.

Lol it’s not esoteric if you live in India. Have to laugh at this sub sometimes. There are probably some Indian people who have opinions on which is best quality. Open mind to other peoples realities.

Most in-home dual ovens that I’ve seen have a bottom oven that is the size of most peoples’ warming drawer (perfect for baking, making casseroles, heating up sides or apps, etc) while the other oven is still full-size.

Reminds me of the Brendan Fraser movie, Blast From The Past, which is charming as all get out!

Dual cavity home ovens are still quite common, they are just a luxury feature. I’m sure this was a luxury oven back in its day as well, though.

My parents have a dual oven. I so want one, too.

That sounds like a great way to burn the house down.

Reply to comment by Lurkingrue 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
Can I borrow your potato peeler?

Love the design, too. These old workhorses were fantastic - by contrast we just got a new oven to replace hotpoint from 90s and in three days it broke smh

What about actual surplus boots? 11 women is 9 men which is an easy size to find. Some places like Kommandostore have really nice euro surplus boots that come in batches. Some may need a resole at times but the uppers are very high quality leather.

I have no idea where everyone here is praising that design, that's one of the worst engineered ergonomic designs I've ever seen for stove / oven.
So if you have two or even one pot on the back burners, you can't get to the oven. If you have a pot frying pan on the front burners you're likely to do some serious damage to yourself if you reach into those ovens. In either case you're reaching over very hot surface to get to anything in the oven. Even in that picture it looks like you have to take the tea kettle off in order to open up the right oven.
I don't get it. I don't understand what it saves you in space either, except I guess you get cabinets underneath the stove top. The whole thing looks like a horrible user experience, and incredibly unsafe.
