This category consists of a wide range of household appliances and
electronic or electrical items, often categorized in Canadian product
stewardship programs as white goods, portables (e.g. small kitchen
appliances such as toasters and kettles; hairdryers etc.) and floor care (e.g.
vacuum cleaners). Sometimes, household appliances are sub-divided for the
purposes of classification into wet (laundry), cold (refrigeration) and hot
(cooking).
