What is wrong with making things easier? Aren’t you and your family making it easier for yourselves by using electric appliances to both clean and cook? Do you still kasher your own meats? Do you use gas or oil to heat your home or do you schlepp in coal? Obviously, “easier” is a relative term. If both spouses are working in order to pay multiple tuitions, finding time at night and on weekends to cook and clean can be exhausting and make the approach of Peasach something to dread. If they can afford, why shouldn’t they make it easier on themselves so as to be able to enjoy the Yom Tov.
