We replaced those servants with machines. A vacuum cleaner, washer/dryer, various kitchen appliances, etc all save huge amounts of time. There was a BBC show called "1900 House" which just shows how much labor went into maintaining a large home.
- triceratops 2y agoI have heard about those devices yes. For people who can't afford help at home they're obviously way better than DIY. If you can, they're inferior. A washer/dryer won't fold your laundry and put it away, nor separate it and scrub out stains. A vacuum cleaner, even a robot vac, won't dust the shelves or clean the baseboards or remove cobwebs from the corners of the ceiling. You have to empty the dust receptacle without getting it all over your clothes. A dishwasher still has to be loaded and unloaded, stuck on foods have to be scrubbed off first. There's no robot for cleaning toilets or bathtubs or showers or refrigerators, or for changing bed linens. And so on.
