Stand back! I’m about to open the time capsule of mid-century innovation, a time where homes had oddball contraptions that somehow made perfect sense! From Facetime before Steve Jobs ever thought it up to an entertainment system that had everything you need and more, these are the attention-grabbing appliances that danced to their own tunes in the not-so-distant past. Ready to get weird?

    The good ole days, when one income was enough to afford a house, car, 2 kids, wife and the next best kitchen appliance just to make the neighbors jealous….🔥
  • @CyberBuki
    I bought my house in the 80s because it came with a Tappan 400. It was STILL great!
  • @pigoff123
    I love that appliances came in amazing colors. Now they are just instatutional white and stainless steel.
  • @simply-simples
    why do these appliances look more modern then the ones we have today? its mind blowing 🤯 and love them
  • @Pynewolfe
    Those GE wall mounted fridges would be perfect for today's tiny homes and sardine can sized apartments. It needs to have a revival.

    My childhood home, built in 1959, had as original equipment a Tappan Fabulous 400 range/double oven. My folks replaced it with a conventional style stove in 1980. The entire aesthetic of our kitchen was changed, and not for the better.

    I want the cabinet refrigerator. It would be great to have my food at eye level.

    My Aunt had a Tappan 400. As of her passing five years ago it was still working perfectly. That thing was incredible. My cousin inherited it. I tried to buy it from her. She wouldn't even think about it. I wish I could find one for sale. I watch the ads on the off chance that one happens to come on the market.
  • @serinachilders74
    I wish we still had all of these. The new stuff today sucks. The glass top stoves are the worst.
  • @markvolpe2305
    You forgot to mention that the Thor washer could also be used as a dishwasher!

    My parents had a Kelvinator Refrigerator like this one. It was what decided which house they bought when they moved from NYC to Atlanta, GA. Since it was so big, it wouldn't fit into the refrigerator areas of most of the houses they looked at. It kept working until the mid 1980s. (i wish they made things that last that long today)

    Fab 400. I want one! The wall fridge is great! Sadly we went backwards when it came to appliances.
  • @kristinkerr545
    in the early 90s I HAD a Food-a-Rama. That was the coolest fridge EVER and it was huge.
  • I would love a Tappan 400 range. Having a cutting board right in front of the stove would be fantastic.
  • We had the wonderful Tappan range. It only had the one oven, no cutting board, the burners were in the classic two rows of two configuration. Loved that stove. It was a sad day when it quit working and my parents had to replace it with a regular floor stove

    Dishwashers we’re invented back in 1793. In 1896, someone finally patented it and made working models. There’s commercials for them clear back to black and white era films in the early 1900’s. Bette davis was in a commercial in 1930 for them.
  • @TheUluxian
    Elvis even had a Tappan 400 at Graceland. The Stephens family had one on "Bewitched", too
  • @Colorado_Native
    There was a refrigerator/stove/sink combination available in the 1950s. You can still buy one today.
  • @WkdWnch007
    My grandparents had a Tappan 400! It is still in the house to this day after several different home owners.
