The charts below show the changes in ownership of electrical appliances and amount of time spent doing housework in households in one country between 1920 and 2019.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Given are two bar charts concerning housework.
While
the first chart provides a comparison of electrical appliance ownership (including washing machines, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners) in one country during a period from 1920 to 2019, the second one illustrates the amount of time dedicated to housework per week, per household. It is evident from the information provided that the country experienced a significant growth in the popularity of electrical appliances. Despite the fact that a negligible 1 per
cent
of families were using refrigerators in 1920, it soared to more than 50 per
cent
in just 20 years, prior to reaching a peak of 100 per
cent
in 1980. Washing machines and vacuum cleaners,
however
, were more common, utilized by 30 to 40 per
cent
of families in 1920 and their popularity climbed, reaching a high of 70 per
cent
in 1960.
While
the ownership of vacuum cleaners increased exponentially and was used by all the households in that country, possession of washing machines remained virtually stable at somewhere in the vicinity of 70 per
cent
without any
further
growth. Not surprisingly, the prevalence of electrical appliances plunged the number of hours dedicated to doing housework from 50 hours per week in 1920 to a mere 10 hours per week in 2019.
