英语博客：ESL Podcast 737 – Kitchen Appliances

　　Victoria: As you can see, this executive apartment is fully¹ equipped. When you called and asked for the best available apartment, I thought of this one immediately. Just look at this kitchen! All of the appliances are top of the line.
Justin: Do you mind if I take a closer look? I like to cook.
Victoria: No problem. The refrigerator has a high capacity, with the freezer on the bottom.
Justin: But there’s no ice maker².
Victoria: No, that’s one of the few things it doesn’t have.
Justin: Hmm…Is this range gas or electric?
Victoria: It’s gas, and it has a broiler on the bottom, see?
Justin: Is the stove self-cleaning?
Victoria: I’m afraid not, but it’s stainless³ steel, as you can see.
Justin: That’s too bad. Is the dishwasher new?
Victoria: It’s not brand new, but it’s in very good condition. The microwave, toaster, and coffee maker also come with the apartment. What do you think? Do you think it’ll suit your needs?
Justin: When I asked for your best, I expected the Cadillac of apartments. You’ve shown me a Pinto!
