  • washing machines were very popular when they first became widely available in the late 1940s. The first ones had a tub agitator and an electric ringer on the side, to squeeze excess water out of the clothes.
  • Perhaps even more exciting was the arrival of refrigerators a decade or so earlier. Until the late 40's Ice Boxes were the only way for most people to keep food chilled.
  • Vacuum cleaners came in about the same time as refrigerators.. Prior to that, homes were swept out with brooms or cleaned with mops and buckets and plenty of elbow grease.
