  • I like the one on the right, myself. It would fit right in with the 1940's kitchen in my new house. But, dang-- the price for it--$5200 USD--would buy lotsa Pop-Tarts...
  • Wow. I actually HAVE a 1950's-era Wedgewood Stove in my apartment. The clock doesn't work and one of the knobs is cracked, but otherwise it's in great shape. I always thought it was a cool looking stove, and having a big wide space in the middle to rest things -no cramped stovetops!- is convenient. I wonder if my landlord has any idea what a gem of a stove he's got...
  • These are beautiful, but if you ever have enough money, don't get one with an overhead shelf. It might seem like a good idea, but it isn't. Overhead grills (or broilers) are very convenient if you broil a lot, but in general, anything above the stove top interfeers with cooking on the back burners. I was cooking this summer on a stove like that and it was just so frustrating. That six burner stove though - that is just magnificent.
  • Diz - With respect to the ladies, but, they are too old for me and one of them tried to cook me alive once. I prefer this modern korean chick instead.
  • Z-- She's hot alright, but are you sure she's of age?
  • Er, I didn't ask. But she connects to the web. We both know youngsters can't use the internet... ...I'm off to a tropical paradise without extradition treaties.
  • Hurumph, another confusion of 404s.
