The fridge.

I can cook over a fire & wash in a stream if I have to, but my fridge is a must.

I recently spent two winters living in a 10X14 "cookhouse" with no running water, a wood stove for heat and cooking, using candle lanterns for lighting and the outhouse was 40 yards away. I have yet to find a modern appliance that I couldn't live without in a pinch. thumbs up

I have a tiny gas one flame stove and wind up torches for when the electricity goes off.

I have hand washed when machine broken and have a small tub which you wind the handle like an old butter churn.

I suppose it would be the fridge freezer for me too, in winter you could keep a few items outside, but the thought of shopping every day for what you need seems too much!

wave peace devil

Truely?

Washing machine and fridge (especially in a hot country) essential ...

After that ...

it's nice to have a proper cooker with oven

and a laptop with printer AND internet connection

Sometimes I would like to throw mine out a window to see if it could fly. I've never been so frustrated with a machine.
