    Range hood, and it's special because, um, it's tied to the lunar cycle? :)

    What?  A range hood.

    Special?  I dunno.  Ductless?  Works also as a TV?  I'm on the edge of my seat.

    It's special because it's out of the early 60s collectibles market and is in mint shape?

    I'm guessing a high end for it's time speaker
    mechanism or lighting technique that came out of some supposed famous persons home?View Image

    It's the biggest freekin' egg timer anyone's ever seen!

    Spring-loaded range hood.  You wind it up to make the fan run.

    Range hood, as a couple of others have mentioned.

    Special: It's supposedly a very quiet range hood.

      So you guys are sure that's a glass range on that countertop aye?

      How come you'alls think that anyhoo?

      be I mean seems a pretty funky bank of maple kitchen drawers then.

      Edited to add: Dang I hate when that happens.

      http://tinyurl.com/2x9ma9You got both parts of the question right. "For the technically minded, at an airflow of 500 m3/h, for example, the maximum noise level is 45 db/A – a reduction of more than 35% compared to conventional hoods." At less than max speed, it's supposed to be almost silent...

        i don't care what it isit looks liberal and should not be trusted

        1. grpphoto | Apr 04, 2007 11:24pm | #16

          Can't be. I've never known a liberal that was quiet.George

            Liberals try not to take up large footprints either.I think there's a stun gun in there too, when the old man won't help in the kitchen, the wife just directs that arrow in his direction -- zap -- sudden obedience.

    It'd be super special if they had incorporated a gelato dispenser into it.

    A very quiet gelato dispenser, so I wouldn't get busted by the wife when having too many treats.

      Hey if that's the case, no matter the price, I want one :)

  11. karp | Apr 04, 2007 09:13pm | #12

    It's a Flambooistat, and its not so special, I've got two.

    The round thingee is acutally a circle.  It's one of the basic geometric shapes that make up our amazing world.   Zap the girl, I say!
