New Household Appliances Advancements

Today’s new household appliances advancements are amazing! Do you remember when your washer had a wringer on it? Yes, back in the day the washing machines did not have any mechanism to remove the water from the clothing.  You had to physically run each piece through the wringer.  You’ve probably heard the phrase, “I feel like I’ve been put through the wringer.”  Well now you know where that comes from.  One of our most relied upon appliances has made some serious headway since its hand-wringed days. I’m sure most housewives back then were thrilled too to be moving up from a bucket, creek and rock.

Your Clothes Got Out More Often Than You Did

There wasn’t a household on the block that didn’t have a full fledged laundry line with clothes drying on it almost every day.  There is nothing quite like the smell of freshly hung clothes.  There are still some people today that prefer to hang their sheets out to dry, but most now rely on one of their favorite appliances, the dryer, and wonderful smelling fabric sheets to try to duplicate that fresh smell.

The technologies in today’s dryers are incredible and hard to now live without:

• 7.4 Cu. Ft. Capacity in the Whirlpool Cabrio High Efficiency Electric Dryer
• Wrinkle Shield™ Plus Option (up to 90 Minutes): Tumbles the dryer every 5 minutes after the cycle is complete to help prevent wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics. The intermittent tumbling continues for the designated time or until the door is opened.
• AccuDry™ Drying System:  Measures moisture and temperature levels to automatically stop the cycle when the load is dry, helping to conserve up to 10% energy.
• 10 Automatic Cycles
• 4 Temperature Settings

Your Refrigerator Didn’t Make Ice – You Had to Put the Ice In It

Before electricity, if you wanted to keep foods cold you used an ice box which held a huge piece of ice delivered to you by the ice man.  You had to empty a drip pan underneath the appliance every day and get an ice delivery about once a week.  While this may sound archaic to our younger readers who grew up with an ice maker in their refrigerator, for the latter, this was how it used to be.

We’ve come a long way, baby, with refrigeration, freezers, ice makers, and wine bars since then.  Ice makers, for the most part, are standard in the vast majority of refrigerator/freezer combos.  Today, we can enjoy features like this on the KitchenAid Architect II Series Side by Side Refrigerator:

• AquaSense™ In-Door-Ice® ice dispensing system has an ice bucket located in the door to increase freezer capacity
• Automatic ice maker ensures a constant supply of ice on hand at all times
• FreshChill™ Temperature Management System
• AquaSense™ Base-Grille Filtration System – filtered by PuR® – reduces water impurities and saves storage space
• Advanced Electronic Through-the Door Ice & Water Dispenser
• On demand pulsed defrost system helps preserve the taste of frozen foods by minimizing temperature swings
