Thank goodness for refrigerators.  Let's add automatic
washing machines to that list, too.

   If  I could only have one of those, I'd choose the 
automatic washing machine every time.

  My grandmother (died in the 1950's) never had either.

 For food storage she had a pantry with a perforated 
metal meat-safe. Its sole purpose was to keep flies and
rats off the meat.

 She did  all the laundry by hand  (family of 9),  for
which every drop of water was carried into the house (ice
cold) in a bucket from the cast iron hand pump shared with
neighbours.
