Household appliances can be categorized into major appliances or white goods, small appliances, and consumer electronics.

Small appliances are semi-portable or portable machines and are generally used on platforms such as counter-tops and table tops. Some of the small appliances are air purifiers, humidifiers & de-humidifiers, blenders, clothes steamers & iron, electric kettle & coffee machines, and others. Consumer electronics include devices used for entertainment, communications, and home-office activities, such as TV, music system, and others.
