How long have some of the items in your home been a part of your life? Do you ever stop to consider? Appliances you’ve used daily for years or even decades are simple to forget. Do you know which appliance in your home is the oldest? The solution might astound you! Please join me as we explore the history of household appliances and some of the oldest models still in use today.
Some household appliances have been around for several generations. The refrigerator is one of the oldest appliances that is still in use. Even though the first refrigerators were created in the 1800s, it wasn’t until the 1920s that they started to appear in many homes. A refrigerator over a few decades old has been a part of your home for many years.
The cooker is another appliance that has endured through the ages. The first gas stoves were created in the 1700s when stoves first appeared. Electric stoves did not start to gain popularity until the 1920s. If you have an older cooker in your home, it has been there for some time. In fact, with the right maintenance, some stoves can last up to 40 years!
The same can be said for washing machines, another common household appliance. Even though the first washing machines were created in the 1800s, it was in the 1900s that they started to take off in homes. If you have an old washing machine in your house, it has been there for many years. Some older washing machines can last up to 20 years when maintained properly.
In the family of home appliances, dryers are a relatively recent addition. Even though the first electric dryers were created in the 1930s, it was in the 1960s that they began to take off in homes. When it comes to older dryers, chances are good that you’ve had them for a long time. Some older dryers can last up to 25 years, depending on how well they are maintained.
The dishwasher, which comes last. Dishwashers were first developed in the 1800s, but it was in the 1950s that they began to take off in homes. Older dishwashers have been a part of your home for many years. Some older dishwashers can last up to 15 years, depending on how well they are maintained.
