My husband and I have figured out a really good system about the housework: neither one of us does it.

If you have ever regretted not calling that “800” number to buy some appliance you saw for sale on TV, this site will thrill you. You can buy all those gadgets and appliances right here online, and for less money than they were originally advertised for in many cases.
This site is home for the professional organization for people and companies that make appliances. It’s mostly specialized industry stuff, but their “Just for Consumers” section offers a useful guide for selecting an appliance.
Most people have never heard of Binatone Products, a Swiss appliance company, but their online catalog is classy and professional. A good example of a well-designed product sales site.
Information about Braun goods, those classy coffee makers and other small appliances sold in upscale department stores. In keeping with that image, this site is dark, sleek, and understated.
Home page of “the food processor people,” this clean-looking site enables you to order replacement parts and accessories and find out more about other appliances you may want to buy at your local retailer. You can also download free recipes that you can make using (surprise!) your Cuisinart food processor.
A comprehensive list of appliance suppliers that provide specially made appliances that are easier for people with disabilities to use than regular models.

Not a lot of hype, but plenty of good information. A searchable database of GE products helps you compare various models before making a purchase, and you can schedule a service call online. You’ll also find technical information, from which vacuum bags to buy to the height of a particular refrigerator.
Plenty of information about Hamilton Beach and Proctor Silex kitchen appliances, plus a great recipes section and extensive Q&A about using and maintaining individual product lines and models.
Hotpoint is a division of General Electric, and its U.S. site is merely a section of the larger GE site (http://www.ge.com). However, the United Kingdom site is very different, with clever animated icons and an entirely different feel, and worth visiting just for entertainment value even if you are a U.S. user.
A sort of factory outlet mall online, specializing in kitchen appliances and gadgets. Includes famous brands like WearEver and Hamilton Beach, at prices that approximate those of factory outlet stores.
A friendly, easy-to-use online showroom of Maytag appliances. You can get detailed product specifications and warranty information, find out about special promotions and rebates, order parts and service, and even locate a dealer in your area. A great one-stop shopping site that may make you want a Maytag even if you had already decided on another brand.
Philips is a multi-division company that makes everything from televisions to CD-ROM drives. This site is devoted to the “DAP” division (Domestic Appliances and Personal Care) and showcases an amazing array of products from deep fryers to electric toothbrushes.
One of the biggest department stores, Sears puts on a good Web site that looks and feels a lot like their catalog (before they stopped producing it, that is). You can order from their online catalog, which includes a full line of their famous Kennmore appliance line, locate a store in your area, or send a message to Customer Service.
A nicely designed site where you can find out more about Whirlpool’s large family of appliances, from washing machines to air conditioners. Includes a Dealer Locator and an online problem troubleshooting process.
