Which appliance suits you?
| Appliance | Suits | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer | Crispy results with hardly any oil, and no need to heat the oven. | How many it feeds, single or twin drawers, and its footprint. |
| Blender or food processor | Smoothies, soups, sauces, chopping and dough. | Jug or cup size, whether it crushes ice, and the attachments included. |
| Kettle | Daily tea and coffee. | Capacity, a removable scale filter, and a temperature setting if you drink green tea. |
| Toaster | Breakfast for one or for everyone. | Two or four slots, room for bagels, and independent controls per side. |
| Fan, heater or purifier | Keeping cool, keeping warm and cleaner air indoors. | Room size, noise at night, and the cost of replacement filters. |
| Hair dryer or styler | Drying and styling at home. | Attachments, heat settings and how well it suits your hair type. |
| Cool box | Picnics, camping trips and garden gatherings. | Size, whether it rolls, and ice retention. |
Making the choice
Measure your worktop first
Air fryers, multi-cookers and large blenders are bulky. Check the space you have, including the clearance beneath wall cupboards, against the sizes on the product page. If your worktop is short, a stacked air fryer or a blender system that shares one base can help.
Size it to your household
Smaller households rarely need more than a small air fryer and a single-serve blender. Families get more from a dual zone air fryer that cooks two dishes at once, a bigger blender jug, a four-slice toaster and a full-size kettle.
Kettle and toaster pairs
Kettles and toasters from one range share colours and styling, which makes a matching set straightforward. The colour name on each product page helps you pair them.
Cleaning
Parts that can go in the dishwasher, such as baskets, jugs and blades, make everyday use far easier. A kettle with a removable scale filter stays cleaner, and a slide-out crumb tray is a small detail you'll appreciate on a toaster.
Upkeep over time
Purifier filters wear out, some sooner than others. A dehumidifier's tank has to be emptied, and anything cordless must be recharged. Weigh up the ongoing costs as well as the price on the day.
Before you order
- Use a wall socket. Kettles, air fryers and heaters are power-hungry, so don't run them from an extension lead.
- Give it space. Air fryers and multi-cookers let out heat and steam, so keep them away from wall cupboards while cooking.
- Match the room. Fans, heaters, purifiers and dehumidifiers are each designed for a certain room size, which the product page states.
- Think about storage. Cool boxes, ironing systems and blender sets all need somewhere to live between uses.

Small Appliances: your questions answered
What counts as a small appliance?
Anything that sits on a worktop, shelf or floor and runs from a normal socket: air fryers, blenders, kettles, toasters, fans, purifiers, hair tools, irons and so on.
Which size of air fryer should I buy?
About 4 litres is right for one or two people. Families tend to want 7 litres plus, frequently as twin drawers for cooking two dishes side by side.
Can I buy a matching kettle and toaster?
Yes. Ranges are designed in pairs, so look for the same range and colour name on the kettle and the toaster.
Will an air purifier need new filters?
Usually. Replacement intervals vary with the model and usage, and certain filters are designed for several years. The product page explains what yours needs.
Will a cordless blender crush ice?
They're fine for single-serve drinks, including frozen fruit. Plenty of ice, or blending for the whole family, calls for a mains jug blender.
Is it OK to use an extension lead for a kettle or air fryer?
Best not. Makers recommend that anything drawing heavy power, including heaters, goes straight into the wall.
How is delivery charged?
Delivery is free on orders over £600. Our delivery page sets out the details for smaller orders.
