Vintage Appliances We Need!

Over the years there have been many appliances and household items that have come and gone. Some of them were good while others weren't so much. In this video we will take a look at some of the vintage appliances we could still use.

When they bring them back, could they also bring back the quality and longevity of those older appliances and tools?

My parents built a home in the early 1950's. Our fridge was a wall mount just like the one in the picture and as I remember it was olive green. Only 2 families have owned the home besides my parents and as I understand the fridge is still hanging in the kitchen and in use. How amazing is that?

My 102 year old neighbor has the wall-mounted fridge, it’s the original that came with the house, pretty neat.

That wall refrigerator is genius. Especially for someone in a studio apartment or tiny home.

In 1967 my family moved into a new home with that exact pink GE wall refrigerator. There were 3 doors that opened to the fridge and the fourth door was a freezer. Directly below was a built in double drawer pull out freezer. That kitchen also had both the island built in stove top with push button controls and the oven that was built into the wall with cabinets above and below it. The entire kitchen was pink and it was really a fantastic place! I was about 6 years old when we moved into this house and I loved it. I thought is was as modern as 'The Jetsons" home. Who out there remembers 'The Jetsons"? Great cartoon in it's day. Good memories. I'll stop here as I'm giving away my age. lol

I was looking at an OLD kitchen catalog and was really amazed at the built in cabinetry functions. Drop down cabinet drawers for flour, sugar, etc. Really smart and clever.

Some of these seem so fantastic to me, especially as someone in a wheelchair- the wall mounted, eye-level fridge for example- in my case, it may have to be set up quite low- but the idea of a horizontal fridge rather than a tall vertical one is awesome! Say I replaced an under the counter dishwasher with a countertop model- I'd only lose one cabinet, but I'd be able to reach everything myself! And the idea for some of these hide-away stovetops would mean more room to get around, so I could actually wheel around the kitchen without worrying about smashing something up (either my feet or some dishes).

I have things already that allow me to cook things at my sitting height (portable electric burners, a chopping board, and a mini convection oven), but this has given me a reason to go back and completely change up my ideas for a dream kitchen.

You touched on one of my pet peeves. When I was a kid we had all kinds of colors that were coordinated together. They made a home "happy". Today EVERYTHING is 3 colors black, gray (stainless steel) or white. I spent 30 years in law enforcement and there are more colors in jails than todays modern homes. Great video as always!

I bought one of the wall mount fridges 2 years ago from a local ReStore place. It came out of the basement of a house that had the whole kitchen setup in a separate living area. Still works perfectly and has some great options.

For the colorful fridge lovers! You can add peel and stick wallpaper to recreate the same look.

We had a hang on the wall refrigerator, freezer in the 1960s . It was turquoise and it had a
full counter under it. It was easy to load and clean. No stooping to get into it.
I’d buy one again in a minute if they reintroduced it.

[BonnieLeah]

Well I would LOVE to have a refrigerator that hangs on the wall!!!! Easy to see everything, easy to clean the floor. Yep, I would LOVE one of those.

One thing my dad always told me was any tool that does more than one thing seldom does any one thing well. That being said, the sink-stove-refrig combo units are actually quite popular in Europe in cities where apartments do not come with a kitchen.

I built an entire 50's kitchen into our Victorian home, after relocating and restoring the home. The kitchen is entirely pre'-54, so even earlier than what's shown in the video, which other than the Thor, appear to all be post-'55. The list includes everything from the front loading Westinghouse "Laundromat Twins" to the Wedgewood stove, Philco fridge, Vent-A-Hood range hood, KitchenAid dish washer, all small appliances down to hand mixers, coffee pot, etc. Everything still functioning as it should, and in daily use for the 30yrs since installation. My daughter grew up with all of it, using it as per normal.

My Dad still has a working retractable stove. I loved that thing - lots of room on the stovetop for large pots and plenty of room in the 2 ovens above. And the ovens were so much more convenient to reach in and get things out of without the downward opening door in the way. Their lovely, full glass doors also made it so easy to see what was happening inside without opening the oven door. Definitely something that needs brought back!

With my bad back and knees, I've dreamt of an eye-level fridge for years! I really hope they make a comeback!

The wall-mounted, cupboard-style refrigerators were fantastic! My aunt had one in her kitchen and it enabled her to extend the countertop for more prep space. The freezer compartment was a drawer under the counter.

[BenJamin-enjb]

I had the stove-on-top-of-fridge thing in my tiny college dorm room. Having a hot stove right on top of the freezing compartment was about as crap as one might imagine.

My son is in a wheelchair. The wall fridge/freezer would be AMAZING for him and anyone else in a chair!!!

[Marvinglep]

My grandparents had the eye-level wall refrigerator. It was cool...both literally and figuratively. Created a great deal of space underneath for a small/medium sized kitchen. Ran for decades.
