Home appliances are machines that make our lives easier, like your refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and washing machine. These appliances help us keep our homes clean and tidy, and help us cook and clean faster and more efficiently. For example, the refrigerator keeps food cold and safe to eat, the range helps us quickly cook food and the dishwasher helps us to clean dishes quickly and easily. Washing machines help us to clean our clothes quickly, so we have time to do other things.
