pull down to refresh

Thanks to my renovation project, I feel like I’m twice married, mainly because I have scouted all over my sunny island in search of furniture and electrical appliances that would embellish my home and alleviate the stresses of family life.
This time round, I have wisely kept my mouth shut so that I won’t inadvertently say anything that would come to haunt me for years to come. A decade ago, I had sincerely expressed bewilderment at my wife’s insistence to get a vacuum cleaner. “We can just use the broom,” I blurted out. She has not let me live it down, let’s put it this way.
I think there are two kinds of people: those who care about electrical appliances and those who don’t. And they often marry each other. No points for guessing which camp I belong to. And yes, I guess I’m lucky to have married someone whose beauty belies an admirable dogged persistence that powers her to procure all the household items.
Definitely washing machine. Handwashing clothes takes a crazy amount of time.

I also vote the washing machine as number one, although vacuum cleaner is up there along with the microwave oven.

Yes. Clothes washing machines are so awesome. I hate washing in tubs/sinks.

Especially if you work hole day you don't have a lot of free time after working hours. So you opt for washing machine.

It's gotta be the dishwasher. I can barely keep up with the dishes in this house, and I have a machine to do it.

I have two flesh and bone dish washers who take turns washing the dishes on alternate days. They use the actual dish washer as a drying rack, haha. The third one will be joining the dish washing ranks in a couple years, once he reaches 9 years old.

Dishwashers are not common in Korea (my wife thinks it's partially because the sticky rice hardens on the plates rather than getting removed, so those who try don't have a good experience with it).
I'm so happy to have one.
But if i have to vote, i'd probably choose the coffee machine. It's advanced enough to take in whole beans and serve us with fresh coffee every morning. My wife used to spend fortunes on Starbucks; she barely goes there now that we have this machine.
