What is considered an appliance?

An appliance is a device designed to perform specific tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, or refrigeration. Appliances are typically powered by electricity, but can also run on gas or other fuels. Common examples of appliances include stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, and vacuum cleaners. Appliances are considered essential in most households and play a significant role in day-to-day tasks and convenience. They are available in a wide range of sizes, styles, and features to meet the needs of different households and lifestyles. Advances in technology have also resulted in the development of "smart" appliances that can be controlled remotely or through voice activation.
