Please thank Terry for sharing his wonderful collection with others. Between you, Kevin, and Terry, I am appreciating the appliances of my childhood that I took for granted.
My parents had a GE monitor top frig--it had little legs and feet. It had a tiny freezer and needed defrosting. The pan that the defrost water melted into was so shallow--like
Lake Erie when being emptied. It had a latch handle. When I was a child many children came across discarded refrigerators in the woods and on dumps and sadly got locked
inside and died. Eventually laws were passed that discarded refrigerators had to have the doors removed. Those Kelvinator refrigerators are magnificent.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos Kevin, what a blast from the past and an amazing collection

Amazing. Everything is so shiny. Love it, unfortunately it also makes me somewhat depressed. Absolutely no planned obsolescence here. American made, and made with components that recycle indefinitely (metals & glass). The innovation is unreal. Thanks for continuing to show.

Wow, how fabulous. It shows that quality and workmanship went into the making of these items. Unlike what we have today, that are just put together and fall apart these held strong through the test of time.
Thanks for posting wonderful to see.

Absolutely amazing with all the appliance innovations. Manufacturers today could learn a thing or two!!

P art 5 coming. Enthralled as much as you are admiring these works of art.

Omg! What a tremendous collection, so beautifully laid out! Terry really has found the love of his life. You know, the more you examine or salivate over these marvelous appliances, the more you come to appreciate the ingenuity of the designers & engineers. Those guys must've had a blast creating these pieces. The butter bin was wonderful. Thank you for sharing thos w/ us.

Just getting around to these videos. The Ranch is wonderful!

I love how the fridge handles remind one of the same era's car door handles. And both doors closed with a very loud CLUNK that showed they were made to last. I don't remember ever seeing anything made by Kelvinator when I was a kid. It was all GE, Hotpoint, Frigidaire and Sears Kenmore, so this was all new to me. Can you imagine trying to fit a Food-O-Rama in a kitchen today? Looking forward to part 5.

Love the red refrigerator, and the butter warmer is neat. Never seen one of those. Another great video!

Great video - thanks! Kelvinator was a popular brand in SD in those days 😀

I don't remember the name of the YouTube video but they showed the kitchen of a 93 year old woman who passed away. What was amazing about her kitchen was all her appliances looked like they were show room new.

My very first washing machine was a kelvinator I picked up second hand in 1981 I worked great! 😊

[cudaus]

Great tour! I wonder if any of those appliances we build at the Plymouth Road facility? I remember passing that facility many times when I was a kid and seeing Kelvinator on the building.

Growing up in the 50s our next-door neighbor had a big Kelvinator refrigerator that ran off of natural gas. It was a beauty.

❤ the old fashioned food mill on the stove

These days it's easy enough to soften butter in a microwave for baking using a low power setting. That's probably why they don't make the butter softener anymore. Most of the time I try to remember to bring the butter out ahead of time.
