Imagine a life without a refrigerator, washing machine or vacuum cleaner. Food storage would be a problem, household chores would require immense time and effort, and cleaning the house would become a titanic task. Fortunately, decades ago appliances became part of our homes, revolutionising and simplifying the way we live and carry out daily activities.
Let us explore together the vast world of household appliances, especially small appliances, to discover all the functions and benefits of the latest generation of devices.

Household appliance: what does it mean?
Household appliances are electronic or electromechanical devices designed to perform specific tasks and help with household chores.
They can be divided into two main categories: large appliances and small appliances.
- The former, the 'major appliances', are fixed and require professional installation connected to the plumbing and electrical system of the home, as they include refrigerators, freezers, ovens, hobs, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers.
- The latter, also called 'small appliances', are, on the other hand, compact and portable, and can therefore be used in various places in the home to perform tasks, such as making coffee, toasting bread or vacuuming dust.
The importance of household appliances in modern life cannot be underestimated. Also enhanced by integration with advanced technologies, such as automation, artificial intelligence and wireless connectivity, which allow remote control via smartphones or voice assistants, they not only reduce the time and effort required to perform household chores, but also offer greater convenience and safety and, consequently, a better life.
Small household appliances
Small appliances are tools that have gained great popularity in recent years due to their ease of use and versatility in adapting to the various needs and demands of users.
For example, modern coffee machines are equipped with a wide range of functions from simple coffee preparation to the creation of more elaborate drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. Similarly, blenders, mixers and food processors are equipped with accessories for blending, mixing, chopping and kneading.
This places them among the most popular multifunctional tools for cooking enthusiasts, as they greatly reduce the time and effort required in preparing meals.
The iron and, in particular, the latest models designed to be lighter, easier to handle and equipped with advanced features, such as automatic temperature regulation and vertical steam function, is another small household appliance that has contributed to making everyday life better.
Technological innovation, as we know, has now also overwhelmed the home appliance sector, and in this change, obviously, even small appliances have been influenced. Products such as the robot vacuum cleaner, with its ability to autonomously clean surfaces by detecting obstacles and the ability to be programmed and controlled remotely via an App, and personal care devices such as hairdryers, electric shavers and electric toothbrushes, are ideal examples of the way technology is able to insert itself within the walls of our homes to benefit us.
