The small Acme unit with the vents across the back looks exactly like the unit that was in one of my favorite apartments. If I were to construct a small space, I would definitely consider using one of these, too bad they tend to be expensive.

Wow. That was a screaming deal. I’ll have to poke around on eBay to get a sense of what kinds of things turn up.

I love the Dorothy Parker quote on your site, by the way.

…There’s also Dwyer. I bought a mini Dwyer kitchen on Ebay a couple of years ago for $100. It was in Detroit and had been in a church… apparently barely used. Installed it into a mini apartment below our house.

Wish I could get that thing back. It was fabulous.

I agree that they can be rather pricey. Although, I think some of them have pretty clever layouts that wouldn’t be too hard to recreate with a small refrigerator and Ikea sink if you’re able to do your own cabinetry. I posted them as much for inspiration as anything else.

I’ve looked at these combination kitchens and I have to wonder why going smaller costs three times as much (my area comps vs. the Avanti series on a square foot basis). I own several Avanti appliances that I’ve bought over the years, and while I find them to be good quality items and a definite value for the price, I’m at a loss as to why the combination kitchens are priced so outrageously.

Has anyone actually bought one of the combination kitchens? And are they worth the price, versus using a bit more space and buying items separately? I’d love to learn more from someone who’s purchased and used these items.
