Home appliances are mechanical or electrically driven equipment that facilitate the completion of routine domestic chores, improving efficiency and quality of life. Cooking, cleaning, heating, cooling, storing food, and entertaining are just a few of the many uses for these equipment. Home appliances save time and energy by automating or streamlining daily tasks, which enhances people's quality of life in general. Major and small appliances are the two general categories into which these appliances fall. Large, stationary appliances like stoves, dryers, washing machines, and refrigerators are referred to as major appliances, or white goods.
