Small is better. If you are looking for small appliances for your small home, put CompactAppliance.com on your list of places to check out. We always check them out for small stuff before we go anywhere else and ended up recently buying our small fridge from them. Their service and prices really are good.

Luke,

i was thinking more along the lines of: power is out, it's dark in the hallways, stores are closed or whatever and all we got to eat is 5 lbs of rice ... what to do?!

PS, it's never really fire and brimstone. Just a ton of inconvenience for the ill-prepared.

I count myself amongst them, BTW. olga on Apr 9, 2007

I have the 24" Avanti Range from C.A. in my studio and it is the best appliance I've ever owned. The oven preheats to 400 in 3 minutes flat! I had adjusted to my previous 50s Roper model which took an hour to get to 325. I love that it allows me to avoid having a microwave for reheating leftovers etc. One point of advice with the 24" is that not all muffin pans, or cookie sheets will fit inside they could be too wide. You need to measure the actual opening and shop around.

Keep in mind the Avanti is a bare bones model, bell-free, whistle free. You have to turn it all-the-way to broil in order ignite the oven. Which does have a gas pilot light. You may be able to light the stove the old fashioned way, with matches, in the event of a power outage, haven't considered experimenting. But way to think ahead to the apocalypse Olga! It's nice to know that when it's all fire and brimstone outside you don't have to postpone your dinner plans! Luke Radford on Apr 9, 2007
