Today, I will be talking about what are the multi function kitchen appliance that is under the Small Domestic Appliance or SDA group.
I have already covered many of the topics about kitchen appliances. In my previous articles, I have identified what appliances belong to MDA and SDA. Likewise, I have also touched on Smart Appliances as well as kitchen appliances that cater to a healthy cooking lifestyle.
This time, please join me in finding more ideas about multi-function appliances!
What is a Multi function Kitchen Appliance?
According to the dictionary, Multifunction is defined as performing or capable of performing more than one function (i.e. a multifunction device… see featured image as an example)
Hence, a multi-function kitchen appliance is an appliance that can perform more than one operation apart from its main designed function or feature.
Anyhow, for every product, there are always Pros and Cons. And multi-function kitchen appliances are not exempt from these conditions.
Logic would tell us that a multi-function appliance will have a shorter life cycle, compared to the individual units that should comprise that said multi-function appliance.
Do you get what I mean?
This is one of the cons of the multifunctional device, although appliances are designed to last longer. And should outlive its warranty period.
While the multi-function appliance’s upper hand I see is the convenience that it provides at your disposal. Because you will be using only one machine with several functions, that would make your life a lot easier.
