Cost to operate
Needs source - the source currently listed is no longer available (just goes to a search engine). Cost is really compound of typical power usage (watts) and electricity cost. Would probably be more useful to provide both figures, typical power usage, and (if desired) typical cost based on some standard electricity cost (e.g. average US or world consumer electricity cost). Also appears to ignore standby power. Zodon (talk) 04:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Might be best just to remove cost to operate, given that residential electricity prices vary from 6 cents to over 30 cents per kWh. If we do keep it, definitely add actual kW / watt usage and the reference price. Zeke Hausfather (talk) 20:10, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Rework needed
Clearly this set of articles (home appliance/domestic appliance, major appliance, small appliance, appliance) are in a mess, and poorly referenced.

brown goods in British English
This term doesn't include kitchen-equipment. Rather, it refers to items like TVs, hifis and radios. They would have been made from wood; toasters and food-mixers would not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 10:43, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree, and the cited source states "brown goods" (all non-white household items, for example televisions and video players), which supports us rather than the statement, so I have removed it and amended the article. "Brown goods" should redirect to consumer electronics, even though the name "brown goods" dates from an age radios were not electronic. jnestorius(talk) 16:52, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
