Household appliances

We are renting a place right now. It's a nice apartment in a older style farmhouse with lots of room for the kitty and lots of windows. All nice 
Our stove was provided by the landlord. I loved it right away when I saw it cause it's a big chunky American stove like from the early 80s. I'm from Germany, and to me, it looks like from the movies ...
The problem with that lovely stove is though that only two cooking plates work, and not the big ones. I mainly use the front left one. For everything. Baking in the oven is alright, but it's a hit and miss and I had to learn how to handle the different levels on the inside. But I did.
We do have a microwave, which I could live without, but is practical. We have a coffee machine, which I couldn't live without. A juicer ... New, love it. That's it for the kitchen. My dishwasher is Cav. He does a pretty good job.
As for the laundry, I felt major disappointment when I moved to the States. What the heck are you people up to with your washing machines? They look like from the 1930's! I kind of got used to that, but I miss my high-efficiency washing machine from Germany a bit ... And the dryer works with gas. Ugh. Always has me nervous. But because the weather doesn't really allow hangng the laundry outside, I'll go with it.
Other than that, there's really no household appliance here that I could think of. what I would love is a dishwasher. For the glasses. And I would love a fully functioning stove.

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
All are still going strong and once they need to be replaced, I know I'll never encounter that again (teary-face).
And...the dishwasher has never worked! I painted the outside of it in a cool bronze-y color and haven't touched that motherfucker since.
I'd say the fridge and stovetop/oven are my beloveds.
(PJ_Soul - you'd find full ice-cube trays in our freezer, but beware! The ice is about six months old
regarding the dishwasher...i could live without it. i actually prefer to wash the dishes myself. i feel like people are lazy with dishwashers. they just throw dishes and silverware in there without running it. they want to wait until it gets full, and i get that from a conserving water/energy standpoint. but then as a few days go bye the silverware just tends to dwindle until the load is ran.
i'd rather wash everything right after i eat and be done with it.
shortstack, I love that advertisement! I'd love to get myself an older stove, like from the 40's or 50's. They look amazing, and I heard they are working nicely once you get used to them. Also, they seem to be more durable than the modern stuff. It's gotta fit stylewise with the rest of the kitchen though... And I'm baking a lot, it would probably take some time to find out how to handle it properly.
Given to nap - that happened to me a lot too when I first moved here. We have an electric stove with those weird spirals. It's crazy how fast they heat up, and start to glow! Somehow I'd love a gas stove, but an electric oven. Baking with gas is a pita...

Dragon of the North, please tell me you dont use your teeth to open beers though -- that drives me batty.
To be fair most of the above happens outside because no one can find the f***in bottle opener.
Also that shoe thing is disgusting, I mean really.

But Mama went off and left us; she wanted more from life than we could give. :((
