Colorful Retro Microwave Has All the Modern Amenities

Lindsay ~ 10 November 2008

If you don’t want to follow the kitchen trend of granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and (yawn) neutral colors, why not give a retro look a try?

Last year we peeped a blue retro refrigerator, and here’s a microwave that could match nicely:

The Northstar model 1953 microwave from Elmira Stove Works looks like something straight out of the 50s. It’s completely modern on the inside though:

“The Model 1953 1.2 cubic foot microwave oven with convection and grill great retro styling; todays features and convenience. Its a microwave. Its a quick, efficient convection oven. Its a handy grill. Available with stainless steel or color-matched sides. With 1,000 watts of pure power and loaded with great features, the Northstar microwave is a wow! way to complete your retro kitchen.”

And don’t worry if blue isn’t your favorite hue. The microwave comes in 10 different retro colors.

Retail price: $749
