COOK and WASH on your REFRIGERATOR! - Neatorama

This ad appeared in 1952. I don't know how many of these units they actually sold, but I've had a few apartments that would have worked better with all the appliances set into a five-square-foot space. It would also have been nice to have a couple of clones to do the work. Link -via J-Walk Blog

Hot triplets that cook and clean while wearing strapless dresses?!? I love the 1950's!

I see these all the time in motels and rental units. You can still buy several models here - http://www.ajmadison.com/b.php/Compact+Kitchens/N~36

I have actually seen one. It is in a friends old house. it is the model that is without the sink though.
Still works.

Not triplets, clones like the OP said. That would be freakin' awesome! Having two clones to help with housework that is.

It even comes with a dishwasher, apparently. Three of them. (/so going to hell)

I lived in the late 50s in an apartment on Hemenway Street in Boston that had this exact unit. It was a tiny apartment, and my roommate and I appreciated the fact that we had a "real" kitchen in spite of the lack of space. I'd forgotten about it until I saw the ad, which brought it all back. Fun times!

electric option?! nothing says "kitchen safety" like three electric heating coils mere inches away from your sink!
