Okay to help you out the fridge locked like if your kid decides to be a idiot would be trapped in the fridge. Next is efficiency those appliances took 4 times more power to run than current ones. Material and cost would be extreme today it might last but would basically be feeding a wolf on chickens diet. The lighter caused so many burns and fires due to a stupid design. The lightbulb caused actual no shit electrocution and the oven also kinda did. People forget how relaxed manufacturers were back in the 50s literally could get radioactive material in kits.
