Kitchen appliances have come a long way that we can’t help but take a walk down memory lane and see how far they have brought us. The good news is that they keep getting better and better and their changes are in line with the ever-changing trends that society throws at us.
For example, the refrigerator set has evolved over the years. There was a time when they were small and power consuming. No one could ever imagine that have custom build fridges or dishwashers. The other thing that amazes is the fact that they were useless without power. Today, some sophisticated models can run for 48hours without electricity.
