What are White Goods?

About White Goods:

• White goods are large home appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, tumble driers, dishwashers, and air conditioners. 
• They are large consumer durables for the house which were traditionally available only in white.
• Even though you can purchase them today in a wide range of different colors, they continue being called white goods.
• White goods are known for their durability and longevity, as they are designed to withstand the demands of daily use.
• The term may also refer to white fabrics, especially linen or cotton – articles such as curtains, towels, or sheets that historically used to be made of white cloth.
• In the beverage industry, white goods are colorless spirits, such as vodka or gin.

What are Brown Goods?

• They are relatively light electronic consumer durables such as computers, digital media players, TVs and radios.
• Unlike large household appliances (white goods), brown goods are more focused on entertainment, communication, and convenience.
• These devices often have electronic components, and their primary function is to provide audio, video, or data-related services.
