My Dad purchased our first microwave for Christmas 1986. It was one of my Mom's presents. I remember it because my Dad came close to beating my ten year-old arse for almost ruining the surprise. I believe he told me I was the "...dumbest sumbitch he'd evah seen." Miss you Dad!

A fricking fridge or washing machine shouldn’t need to be connected to the internet to function

We sold my grandparents house 4-5 years ago. When we did a final walk through I realized everything in that kitchen was from the 80s or older and it all still worked.

This was my grandmother's kitchen in the Redemptorist neighborhood. Tile was green/white marbled, and fridge was behind the photographer (microwave was where the fridge is). Brown cabinets, two ovens on top of each other, just a stove-top. She had an island to the left, with two barstools. One spun very fast and I am pretty sure I drove her crazy spinning around like that. Good memories of eating roast, rice & gravy after Mass every Sunday.

In ‘77, the old man came home with an tabletop Amana Radarange Microwave

Looks like this and was built like a bank vault.

When did you take a picture of my kitchen!

It aint that ugly but it was certainly designed in the 70's.

That kitchen reminds me.of the kitchen of the house that I grew up in, built in 1987. Layed out exactly the same.

There is plenty of adjectives you could use to describe that kitchen but austere and functional are two I wouldn't use because they aren't really accurate.

We had a yellow one similar to that that is in my brother's BBQ room that still works as new.
