In the 21st century, all kinds of appliances are essential for every home. Modern home depends heavily on these equipments.
It has many applications that can serve the purpose of not only households, but also institutions or commercial places. The electrical machines that we use in our daily activity can be broadly classified into two groups, Large Appliances and Small Appliances.
Large household appliances are the FMCG products and are also known as home appliances. These are large appliances that used to be painted and were only available in a white enamel finish. However, despite its availability in various colors today, the name has stuck. They are usually fixed and take up a lot of space. Now a day small portable home appliances are manufactured by many companies.
Large appliances have facilitated household chores such as cooking, washing, cleaning, reducing time and energy consumption. They include all types of equipment used in the home, such as:

The other group of appliances, the small appliances, are also called home appliances. Small appliances like
CD and DVD players, telephones and answering machines, home theaters, video game consoles, camcorders. Small appliances are mostly portable or semi-portable and don’t take up as much space as large appliances. The name brown items derives from the fact that these types of products were often kept in brown wooden cabinets. Some types of products were often traditionally finished with wood or Bakelite.
However, the service areas for these small and large appliances vary widely. While brown appliances involve high technical knowledge and skills, white goods mostly require hands-on skills and “brute force” to manipulate the devices. Heavy tools are required to repair them.
As major appliances have become a general necessity for every home and the market becomes increasingly competitive, manufacturers are now combining style with durability. Appliances are now available in a glossy plastic finish. They are available in a wide range of colors as well. Steel gray, gloss black, red, blue are some of the common colors that are available in appliances.
However, manufacturers should keep in mind that when purchasing these electrical equipment, the consumer’s choice is greatly influenced by some emotional factors. Manufacturers’ effective policy must work with these factors. Those who work on policies aimed at influencing the purchase.
The first and foremost thing that attracts the attention of the consumer when purchasing any electrical equipment is the level that provides a longer warranty period. The labels must come with the life cycle costs of the products. Indicates that the consumer has potential savings over the lifetime of the purchased product. Therefore, the policy must work with retailers to promote the lifetime costs of products rather than the purchase price of the good.
