Many jobs in the home that used to be done by hand can now be done by machines. Has this development brought more advantages or more disadvantages?

Nowadays, many
people
are using
machines
to do many things in the house
instead
of using their hands like 20 years ago.
This
new change of using
machines
in the home has some advantages and some disadvantages. I will discuss
this
and explain why using
machines
to do jobs in the house has more advantages for
people
. Life is busy and using
machines
at home is very normal for
people
because there are many benefits. Washing clothes or dishes by hand like before was harmful to
people
and give them allergies.
This
is because washing detergent has chemicals in it and it can result in health problems.

jobs in the house can be done more quickly which is another advantage of using a machine.
For example
, washing a big load of white clothes needs lots of hot water to soak and
then
brush each cloth, rinse it and
then
dry which can easily take 2 hours and the machine can do it in 45 minutes.
On the other hand
, using
machines
is not cheap as we must expect some repairs.
Moreover
, technology is always changing and we have new models in the market and we have to keep on buying new
machines
and it is a disadvantage.
For example
, I
first
brought an oven to bake cakes, but now

has a baking option so I had to buy that too.
This
way, I have picked up many products because of new technology. But, it is good as we can use our credit card and get on instalments so not bad at all. To sum up,
machines
are a very good development as jobs can be done quickly and can avoid touching chemicals. I feel the advantages is anytime more than the disadvantage of buying over and over or repairing it.
