Kitchen Ranges: Pretty in pink

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

With its pink color and rounded edges, the Northstar freestanding range could be straight out of a 1950s kitchen. One of Elmira's line of new "vintage" appliances, the range features a full-sized self-cleaning oven. A convection oven is also available. Other color choices include turquoise, green, yellow and red.

Choose radiant elements encased in a smooth glass top or gas surface burners. An analog clock face conceals electronic programmable controls. Price starts at $3,700 (September 2004).
