Essential household appliances that every home needs

Home appliances are essential for a complete home and that can be chalked up to one simple fact: All of them are designed to make our lives easier, either by reducing the amount of time that we spend on chores or creating a more comfortable living environment.

Whether it's an System 3/4 air conditioner,secure digital lock or even an air purifying fan, there's no lack of electrical appliances that will come in useful in a home setting. But with so many options, what are the essentials?

For a start, you'll want more appliances that'll allow you to clean your home and/or belongings more efficiently, such as vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, washing machines and clothes dryers. While they serve a much different purpose, refrigerators and freezers are just as important and the same goes for both standing fans as well as ceiling fans, which will keep you cool as you cook.

For a cleaner, healthier living environment, water purifiers and HEPA air purifiers are must-haves as they'll help keep unwanted pollutants from entering both your body and home.

Finding the right household appliances for your home

Finding the right home appliances begins with knowing your household needs, so be sure to take note of all the features that come built in with your desired electrical appliance, whether it's a steam iron, microwave oven, rice cooker or just about any piece of equipment that you intend to purchase for your home.

For instance, if you're building a home for a large family, opt for fridge models that offer more storage flexibility like side-by-side refrigerators, bottom freezer refrigerators and French door refrigerators with their extra compartments. Similarly, compared to top-load washing machines that are space-saving, front-load washers will serve a family home better with their larger capacity and better water efficiency.

Factors to take note of when buying home appliances

Believe us when we say that size matters. If your home is a compact HDB flat, you'll want to pay attention to how large your home appliances are when you're out shopping. Take for example water heaters, while water storage heaters are perfect for larger residences with more people living in them, instant water heaters are a preferable option for smaller homes as they occupy less space.

Budget is of course another important factor when shopping for home appliances, and the best time to go shopping in-store is during holiday sale periods, when you'll be able to get attractive discounts.
