Did anyone notice the price on the Micro Wave was almost $500 and that was with $100 off. I guess I never realized how expensive those things were back then. We didn't get our first microwave until the mid 80's and I think then it was like $250. Times sure have changed! | ||

Yes, Microwaves were outragousely expensive back in the 70s. We bought a new Amana RadarRange with the "Touchmatic Controls" in Dec of 1978, right after X Mas,,it was 799.00 but did include 4 free lessons on how to use it, and several accessories such as a coffee pot, popcorn popper, griddle,,all for use in the new RadarRange.
Interestingly enough, that particular microwave DID last a good 30 years, without ever needing a repair. It did need a new lightbulb a few times, but that was all. The control panel finally shot craps, but the actual microwave magnatron tube was still working, if you could get the control panel to get the magnatron to come on. I called an Amana store to see about maybe getting it replaced, and they laughed at me, saying there hadnt been replacement parts avalible for those models for many years now. Finally trashed the whole thing, but it was the best microwave we ever had. | ||

Stick Vacs with Power Nozzles
I always loved the idea of a lightweight stick vac enhanced by a power nozzle.
It seems that quite a few manufacturers offered this. The most obvious one was the Regina Electrikbrush. But Hoover did the same thing as can be seen with this this Ward's clone. Of course, the Miele Stick Vac (Universal Upright) can accommodate a Miele power nozzle. And now Sears is selling a wonderful device called the "Glide" which has been very well rated for carpet cleaning and bare floor cleaning by Consumer Reports. Adding a revolving brush to a stick vac makes it a far more useful "light cleaner." Even the Eureka Quick-Ups and Boss Lites and Dirt Devil stick vacs remove surface litter from carpet more easily when there is some kind of brush roll (however wimpy) to vibrate the carpet. | ||
