Retro looking appliances – at closer to retro prices, too

summit-36-inch-range.jpg

In working with one reader to solve some kitchen issues, I came across this company — Summit, out of New York metro – that makes several appliances that have a real retro feel, at prices that are not so horrific as most “specialty” items like this.

summit-wall-oven.jpgFor example, their 36″ range has that second storage drawer to the left that mimics the 40″ stove so common during the 50s and 60s. The wall ovens are pretty simple, too, not all stainless steel commercial. Maybe they’d even give you chrome handles from the wall oven – to put onto the range, much better than those white plastic ones.

This company seems to specialize in smallish appliances. Take a look at their narrow refrigerators, and dishwashers. And, they have those cool all-in-one kitchen units like Dwyer, too. Sorry, I can’t vouch for the quality. When I’m next down near the city I will try to go visit. summitappliances.com summit-all-in-one-kitchen.jpg

    I really like the first one. It’s hard to find original ranges like this too.

    Thanks so much Pam! I will look at Summit in more detail when the “heat of the week” winds down at bit. Looks promising!

    There is also http://www.premierrange.com/ and I got my 24-inch gas stove from that company. I got it through Lowe’s so that was convenient as they are in town.

    Now I am was laughed at by my neighbor as I paid like 500.00 to get that in-between size. They go 20, 24 and 30 in. I could have gotten a 30-inch for 330.00 with self-clean and all but I needed the space. Mine does have sealed burners. But my neighbor jokingly laughed at me because I am changing my house a bit and will have room for a regulation 30 inch stove. Still not gonna change it. Love that stove

    Mine is the SJK2400. Here is the link to the page

    Robert – thanks! These Premiers look like great options as well. That 36″ one has a nice retro feel/scale. I’ll do a formal post at some point soon. Keep your finds coming!
