The article is good. However, at the end of the article, it does not state the pros and cons of buying small appliances, thus the article, is not neutral. The advantages of buying small appliances are as follows: We buy small appliances because they are time savers. An example is the food processor, where you put in flour, cold dice butter, salt, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, sugar and the batter is done in less than 30 seconds. They save effort, as there is no need for muscle stirring, flipping and labor for long in a kitchen. Small appliances also inspire creativity. Like the crock pot where one can mix veggies and meat for a sumptuous meal cooked slowly while away from home. Finally, they avoid common kitchen scenarios such as cluttering, washing of many dirty dishes, and pans, cleaning of stove from oil spills, and burns. The invention of small kitchen appliances is a convenient and efficient way to cook especially to people who are busy and do not like to stay in the kitchen for hours.

Disadvantages: Buying small appliances have its own disadvantages too. They take up space on the kitchen counter and require thorough cleaning before putting it back to storage. Small appliances are designed for quick cooking, and could not cook large amounts of food at once, fitting less food items inside them, in limited capacity. They are more convenient for single person use and not for big families. As some small appliances could require high voltage power capacity such as microwave ovens and portable ovens, they could consume the same amount of electricity as big appliances with less capacity. Small appliances have shorter life span than big heavy-duty appliances. Therefore, buying small appliances could, in a way, be considered as not cost efficient.
