A Good Reason To Get Your Clothes Dirty by Ari Bendersky
Kenmore HE4T is one of the best-looking machines on the market. It has a very retro vibe with snappy colors with sophisticated names (ok, maybe they took a cue from J. Crew): Sedona, Bisque and Pacific Blue are just a few. But most impressive is the actual girth of the interior – the HE4T claims it can clean 23 large bath towels in one wash. I guess we’ve come to the point in our history where buying a new washing machine can be as exciting as getting a new car. Go figure.

Toaster Challenge
The household toaster serves a simple purpose, but some models do it better than others. At CH we take this responsibility very seriously, and in hopes of separating the best from the average, we recently pitted four models from different manufacturers in a head-to-heat toast-off and recorded our highly subjective results. The toasters we used were the Alessi SG68, Viking VT200, Breville Smart Toaster BTA820XL...

Eggo Washing Machine
When Brazilian household appliances company Brastemp was drawing up plans for a washing machine specifically made to handle clothes that require more attentive washing (such as swimwear, lingerie and baby clothes) they again called on designer Jun Nakao (a fashion design professor whose last project we featured here) to help conceive a design. (He previously helped the company develop the aesthetics of a mini-fridge.)...

Vintage Penguin and Pelican Book Covers
Known for their classic pocketable paperbacks, both Penguin and Pelican also were behind some of the more era-defining book covers of the 60's and 70's.
