The Illustrated History of Appliances

Our home appliances are things that we use pretty much on a daily basis, but give no further thought to – unless something goes wrong! Most home appliances have some pretty interesting back stories however – we covered this in our interactive resource – The History of Appliances.

We’ve just produced this timeline graphic which shows exactly when things were invented, making use of the detailed research conducted by the National Academy of Engineering.

We hope that you enjoy seeing where some of your home appliances came from through our Illustrated History of Appliances, please feel free to share it if you liked it! The graphic was created by Domex in London who offer appliance repair and also sell appliances through their online shop.
