My parents always had electric appliances while I was growing up.
The two of us had the same outdated stove for years that had originally come with the apartment when they first bought it. Since that outdated apartment was built in the 1940s, it’s anyone’s believe how outdated the oven & range were. Regardless of their age, they served us well for years & I never had any complaints. When I tried gas stoves at a dining room I worked at in high university, I nearly burnt the food the first few times because I wasn’t used to the power of the heat pumping out the sixth you turn the flame up high. Since I was never obsessed with cooking, I didn’t see the need for this extra power. One electric appliance that was always underwhelming to me is the fan-forced furnace built into several central HVAC systems. Often the “furnace” is simply a heating coil inside the air handler near the evaporator coil. In this sense, you have heating & cooling inside a single machine, even though I have never liked these setups. They burn up a lot of electricity for basic heating, so I recently switched to gas. However, you have to be careful once you start using gas appliances of any kind. I had never even heard of a carbon monoxide detector, let alone thought of buying 1 when I replaced to a gas furnace. Thankfully my heating & cooling worker was responsible enough to tell me that I needed 1. He said that a carbon monoxide leak would kill me before I could ever stink it or see it. That’s why the detectors are so substantial.
