Despite the frenetic pace of modern life, with its uncertainties and difficulties, numerous conveniences and little delights are the consequence of a network of ideas, conceptions, and innovations brought to life through the sincere efforts of men of science, business, and faith. We may not always know their names, and their concepts may overlap, making it difficult to determine who to credit, but there are stories behind these innovations, as well as a few coincidences, puzzles, and fortunate occurrences.
Technological advancements and our propensity for building on old ideas have resulted in creations that have altered our culture and ways of thinking. Equally astounding is the widespread availability of these technologies, making some critical creature comforts accessible to vast swaths of the world's population.
We spent hundreds of hours studying appliances, interviewing experts, looking over owner reviews, and testing appliances large and small—many over several years—to select the best devices for your kitchen and home. Our experts help you choose the best equipment for your lifestyle, from dishwashers and refrigerators to vacuum and steam cleaners.
Let's take a look at the best 50+ home appliances that improve our lives and the how, when, and why they exist. While some of these decisions may surprise you, life would be drastically different for all of us without them.
