Small Kitchen Appliances In 2023

From a civic and political standpoint, there may not be many things about the 1950s worth repeating, but when it comes to the simple pleasures of domestic decor, there’s still a certain sweetness to the designs of the day. Sadly these tools are not necessarily the best for doing the job you want them for. As good as they look, they may not perform that well.

So we have kept several retro items in the list but updated it with those that are the MOST POPULAR from a usage point of view.

For today’s roundup of small kitchen appliances, we thought we’d take it back… waaaaaaaay back… to the days of Leave It to Beaver, Father Knows Best, bobby socks, and poodle skirts.  Awash in easter egg colors, these blenders, mixers, and coffee makers greet us with a sunny disposition and a devil-may-care approach to cuteness.

And while we’re on their visual appeal, their lines aren’t bad either.  Luckily, the phrase “they just don’t make ’em like they used to” doesn’t apply here; retro kitsch is back with a vengeance, and it’s looking pretty boss indeed.
