Small Appliances
Everyday kitchen helpers do not need to take up much space, and this collection focuses on compact appliances. Choose a small kettle or a larger Tower LED kettle at 2200W, with toasters, a soup maker, blenders and slow cookers from Tower, Russell Hobbs, Quest and Morphy Richards.
A Morphy Richards 4 portion soup maker at 1.6L in stainless steel suits one or two people, and Russell Hobbs and Tower offer kettles and toasters in simple, modern designs. Irons, a candy grabber novelty and cable adaptors are also here. The range includes a few small items for gifting, plus extension satellite cables.
Consider capacity and wattage when choosing, since a smaller kettle boils less water but may be quicker for a single cup. Check the footprint on your worktop and the cable length to a socket. Clean and descale appliances regularly as the instructions advise, and unplug before cleaning.

| Heaters | Warming a single room | Look for a thermostat and tip-over cut-off |
| Fans | Cooling rooms in summer | Oscillating fans spread air further |
