subject: Innovative household appliances [print this page] Considering how well the human race survived before the likes of aeroplanes, kettles and televisions it's amazing how utterly reliant we've become on all of them, not to mention mobile phones, dishwashers and fridge freezers. It is hard to imagine life without all this technology and it has even inspired a number of reality television shows where participants must do exactly that, washing clothes by hand in rivers and streams, talking and reading rather than watching television and gathering firewood to make fires on which to cook and heat water for washing.
Every day something new comes onto the market which claims to do something different and better to the last model or version, anything from mugs which stir your hot drink at the touch of a button and kettles which heat up and cool down really quickly to conserve energy, to dishwashers which turn washing powder into foam for a more powerful and effective clean on tough foods. It's impossible to keep up to date with all these things and you will probably find that the appliances you buy will be good for a few years even if you are tempted to buy new just because an upgrade is cleverly marketed.
Other examples of innovative products include dishwashers which steam dishes for a powerful clean and use a third less water in the process, dishwashers which allow you to choose from different settings for the top and bottom shelves so you can clean glasses effectively at the same time as cleaning dishes with cooked on food and dishwashers and washing machines which let you know when they need to be cleaned. Because all innovative products have so many available functions, they also have many ways in which they can go wrong and when they do, unless you're made of money, it won't just be a case of binning it and getting a new one and as such, there are innovative appliance repairs companies out there ready to extend the life of your product.
If you find the right company, you'll be able to have almost anything fixed and it will often be a more cost effective option than buying the newest model of your broken microwave, fridge or washing machine for example. Appliance engineers carry out microwave repairs all the time and the same goes for a Zanussi washing machine repair or a service of your innovative fridge with drawers which can be opened from the outside so as not to lose cold air from the rest of the fridge.
