For the next few decades, new
inventions were all about making life
more convenient. Then, the focus
turned to improving those inventions.
Shortly after the Second World War,
the first automatic top-load washing
machine replaced the old wringer
models. In 1947, the first microwave
cooker appeared. Produced by
Raytheon — the makers of Patriot
missiles — it weighed three times as
much as the average refrigerator, and it
was almost as big.
Today, high-efficiency washing
machines are designed to save
money, water and energy. And
even countertop microwaves are
slightly passé. Built-ins and compact
microwave drawers that can be
installed in an island or under your dual
wall ovens are more on trend.
