There's a nostalgia surrounding the aesthetics of retro kitchen appliances. Perhaps it's just the memories they bring to mind, or maybe it's the charm and warmth they exude that's so attractive to consumers. No matter the reason, many appliance makers tap into that nostalgia by designing their modern products to look like those of days gone by. If you're looking to spruce up your kitchen with vintage designs, Walmart offers a lot of complementary appliances.

A simple search for retro or vintage appliances on the Walmart website will produce an overwhelming number of results. Among them, you'll see a range of retro kitchen items that are cool again — from everyday appliances like blenders, coffee makers, and refrigerators to nostalgic specialty appliances like cotton candy, snow cone, ice cream, and popcorn machines. To demonstrate the variety available, each item in this list is offered by a different brand — from well-known and top names like Emerson, Frigidaire, Nostalgia, Rae Dunn, and West Bend alongside independent and niche labels like Culinary Chef, Unique Appliances, and Val Cucina — although some of these brands make a range of vintage-style kitchen appliances.

It's also worth noting that the product selection is limited to those with a Walmart review score of at least four stars. Additionally, the typical price for each appliance is provided, but keep in mind that costs can change with fluctuating availability and sales throughout the year.

West Bend has been making kitchen essentials since 1911 and was the first to introduce an automatic percolator to the market. Within its diverse product line of appliances, several of them have a retro feel, including this two-speed blender. The base and the six-point blade are constructed with stainless steel for durability, and the pitcher is made of glass with easy-to-see ounce and cup markings. It's the base shape and operation dial, though, that make this blender such a stylish addition to the kitchen.

The West Bend 2-speed blender is at Walmart for $49.95.

Combining a passion for cooking with precise engineering, Culinary Chef is a brand under the umbrella of Curtis International, a manufacturer of electronics and appliances for more than 30 years. A few of its products are designed to look vintage, such as this electric water kettle. With a 1,500-watt motor and an iron core, it heats nearly 2 quarts of water quickly. The retro-style dial on the side gives you a precise temperature, while the porcelain enamel interior and exterior retain it.

The Culinary Chef electric porcelain water kettle is $49.99 at Walmart.

As the name suggests, Nostalgia Products is all about making modern appliances in bygone 1900s-era designs. It makes an entire line of matching retro products (from toasters to mini fridges to heated lunchboxes), and this vintage-style coffee maker is one that Walmart customers love. With a capacity of 50 ounces, this single-button brewer features an anti-drip pause for mid-brew pours. The old-school dial on the front counts down the up to two-hour warm function before the machine automatically shuts off for safety.

The Nostalgia classic retro coffee maker is at Walmart for $59.99.

Artist Rae Dunn and housewares manufacturer Magenta teamed up in the early 2000s to bring Dunn's handcrafted designs to the masses, and her product line has grown into a specialty lifestyle brand. Blending vintage style with modern functionality, this stainless steel toaster is among customers' favorites and available in black and cream. It offers six touch controls for toast level and six presets for bagels, English muffins, waffles, and gluten-free, grain, and white breads. Plus, the digital screen provides a timer countdown.

The Rae Dunn digital stainless steel toaster is $49.99 at Walmart.

Cotton candy has roots in ancient history, having similarities with dragon's beard candy from the Han dynasty, but the modern confection has been a fair and carnival hit since the early 20th century. With this Kool-Aid-branded, circus-themed cotton candy maker, you can make this air-spun sugar in your own kitchen. It comes with two reusable cones, and the extractor head is compatible with flossing sugar and hard candy. Plus, you can use kits from Kool-Aid and Nostalgia Products (the licensed partner) for a variety of flavors.

The Kool-Aid cotton candy maker is at Walmart for $49.99.

Making refrigerators for more than a century, Frigidaire makes a variety of retro miniature refrigerators alongside its standard and high-tech products. This model doesn't have the window in the door like the retro mini fridge that had Costco customers divided but is highly rated at Walmart. However, the can dispenser and door basket built into the inside of the door totally make up for that missing aesthetic. The other shelving is adjustable, you get a freezer compartment, and several vintage colors are available, too.

The Frigidaire 3.2-cubic-foot retro mini fridge is $178 at Walmart.

Scoop Delights is a brand of shaved ice and ice cream machines that has only been around since 2023, but its electric snow cone maker has become a popular item at Walmart. With a classic design, it brings the nostalgia of carnival snow cones and slushies to your kitchen. The appliance comes with two reusable cone cups and lids for hassle-free freezing after shaving. Pair it with your favorite store-bought syrup flavors, or make your own, such as a maple snow cone.

The Scoop Delights snow cone maker is at Walmart for $19.98.

The unexpectedly ancient history of ice cream began with the chilling of drinks and desserts over 6,000 years ago. Several millennia later, ice cream makers took on a bucket-like design, such as the first artificial freezer invented by Nancy Johnson in the mid-1800s. Elite Gourmet taps into that old-fashioned design, including a die-cast hand crank for manually churning handcrafted iced treats. However, it also includes a motor that electrically churns your mix into ice cream in just 40 minutes.

The Elite Gourmet old-fashioned pine bucket ice cream maker is $85.99 at Walmart.

First trademarked in 1912, Emerson is widely recognized across microwave and compact refrigerator brands, as well as clocks and radios. A couple of retro microwave options are available from the brand, but this smallest one has earned more ratings from Walmart customers and comes in red and white. The retro design includes a digital clock and timer, a dial for choosing the cook time, food and weight, and auto-cook presets. Additionally, it features six buttons for express cook, defrost, power, start, pause/cancel, and pre-set/clock.

The white Emerson 0.7-cubic-foot, 700-watt microwave is at Walmart for $89.99.

Val Cucina products are designed to combine quality and performance with beauty, and its line of Roma air fryer toaster ovens blend modern engineering with vintage charm. Available in gelato cream, pistachio green, and strawberry pink, these kitchen appliances offer 10 cooking functions — air fry, bake, broil, dehydrate, pizza, toast, and more — in one device. The smart technology balances infrared and convection cooking to deliver even heating, reduce preheat and cook times, and keep food moist and tender.

The pistachio green Val Cucina infrared air fryer toaster oven is $181.99 at Walmart.

Along with selling furniture in online marketplaces like Walmart, Holaki has a line of retro cart-style popcorn machines. It's the perfect addition to kids' birthdays, movie nights, sleepovers, and even adult parties. The stainless steel pot pops 10 ounces of kernels in just a few minutes, and the independently heated base keeps the popcorn fresh and warm. As part of the vintage design, you can watch the pop in action through tempered glass panels, and the cart includes a storage cubby for all your supplies.

The red Holaki popcorn machine cart is at Walmart for $278.99.

Unique Appliances has been around for more than 30 years and has become known for making conventional and retro-style kitchen appliances. While it makes a vintage-style oven that customers love, this refrigerator is among the retro fridges to buy for its intuitive interior layout. The slim, counter-depth design with chrome finishes is reminiscent of the 1950s while offering modern features like Energy Star certification, bright interior LED lighting, a crisper drawer with humidity control, adjustable shelving, digital controls, and a mechanical ice maker.

The Unique Appliances 12-cubic-foot, bottom-freezer refrigerator is $1,499 at Walmart.
