 ==Dishwasher ==
 * Joel Houghton in 1850, the first dishwater functioned as a hand-operated wheel. it was soon replaced by an automatic dish-washing machine invented by Josephine Garis in 1889.

==Bunsen Burner ==
 * Created by chemist Robert Wilhelm Bunsen in 1855 for chemical-based science experiments, the Bunsen burner featured a nonluminous flame that provides a safe, steady source of heat.

==Toilet Paper ==
 * Before the invention of toilet paper, the most commonly used objects for the same purpose involved leaves or mail-order catalogues, when they became common. This inspired Joseph Gayetty to come up with the idea for toilet paper in 1857, which he sold in flat sheets.

==Typewriter ==
 * The original design for the typewriter was born in 1867 from the mind of American editor Christopher Sholes. The user simply hit the button which represented the letter he wanted to type, resulting in the machine creating a carbon impression on the inserted paper.

== == ==Telephone ==
 * Invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell, with the assistance of Thomas Watson, the telephone transmitted sounds via electric wire, allowing users to communicate across far distances. While many inventors worked on a similar device at the time, it was Bell's model that resulted in the transmission of the first completed sentence.

==Escalator ==
 * Although it was known as the moving stairway until 1900, the escalator was invented in 1891 by Jesse Reno. This device carried passengers by attaching a conveyor belt to wedge-shaped supports and inclining it around 25 degrees.

==Vacuum Cleaner ==
 * The first motorized vacuum cleaner was created by John Thurman in 1899. The vacuum was originally powered by gasoline.
