Which everyday household item is the greatest triumph of science and engineering?
We rarely stop to marvel at the clever gadgets that quietly run our lives. From brewing a proper cuppa to keeping the milk fresh, which humble hero of home life do you rate highest?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
The Electric Kettle
A rapid-boil marvel that turns tap water into tea in under two minutes. Arguably the most-used gadget in any UK kitchen.
B
The Refrigerator
Vapour-compression wizardry keeping your cheddar fresh and your lager cold. A quiet workhorse we only appreciate when it packs in.
C
The Washing Machine
A drum, a heater and a clever spin cycle that saved generations from scrubbing by hand. Hans Rosling called it the greatest invention of the industrial revolution.
D
The Microwave Oven
Excited water molecules heat your leftover curry in ninety seconds flat. Born from radar research, now a student flat essential.
E
The Wi-Fi Router
Radio waves, clever antennas and a lot of swearing when it needs restarting. Without it, working from home simply wouldn't work.
