modern convenience

Today's labor saver

Modern convenience refers to a technology, appliance, or service that makes daily life easier—things like running water, electricity, central heating, or washing machines.

The phrase often appears when noting their absence or appreciating their presence: The cabin had no modern conveniences.

We take modern conveniences for granted until the power goes out.
