What are Home Appliances or Domestic Appliances?

In a simple definition: home appliances are instruments or devices, usually electronic or mechanical, designed to do particular household tasks or functions. The Collins dictionary defines “domestic appliances” as: “a machine used for household tasks, for example, a washing machine, refrigerator, etc. “. Generally speaking, almost any electrical or mechanical device intended for domestic use can be considered as “home appliance”. This includes consumer electronics, refrigerators, toasters, air conditioners, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, water heaters or coolers etc. Even stoves, light bulbs, and water well pumps are also the kinds of home appliances.

Home appliances are frequently used to accomplish tasks related to cooling/heating, cooking or cleaning. Home appliances can be classified into following categories:

• Major appliances, or white goods
• Small appliances
