I mean, brands of electronics launch so many models of smartphones, tablets, computers and TVs with different RAM and storage capacities, inputs like HDMI and USB, screen sizes and so on that we can’t decide which one to buy.
But as I observed, domestic appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, fridges, irons, vacuum cleaners and so on nearly stay the same and not many of them are launched so often. Their main functions approximately have stayed the same, except detergent adjusting and less water consumption for washing machines, for example. And ovens adjusting time of cooking according to type of dish. And robot vacuum cleaners. [And appliances with Wifi connection](https://www.vestel.com.tr/akilli-urunler-c-1108)
Like the capacity of washing machine doesn’t bother us, for example, but we’re disappointed when buying a smartphone with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage but seeing another one with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Plus, we don’t change domestic appliances as often as smart devices, like I had a washing machine bought in 1997 working until 2022 but changed 9 mobile phones since 2006 to this day.
Why is there such a difference?

There are many improvements in household appliances. For instance anyone growing up in the 80’s or 90’s can tell you how loud their dishwashers were – hell they’re still loud as hell in many places today.
I’ve had a Bosch dishwasher for 5 years, and I still accidentally open it while it’s running to put something away because it’s so freaking quiet.
Why don’t you hear about it? Well frankly it’s not sexy. It helps make life easier, sure, it doesn’t mean it’s all appealing.
There are exhibit shows for the latest in household tech, but they’re usually industry show’s you won’t just go to to kill time.
