What does this mean "White Goods" ?

while looking for a IGBT for a little problem I have in mind I found this and never before have I ever seen a description in the list of Applications "White Goods"...

What exactly is "white Goods" applications?

Jamie

To appeal to the British market:

Hmm, OK. I don't know why they just didn't say Washer and Dryers..

Thanks

Domestic appliances - it's more of a British term.

Particularly to major kitchen and laundry appliances.

Cos they are mostly white enamel coated.

And we know that the term was invented in the 1960's or earlier, because it isn't "Harvest Gold Goods" or "Charcoal Black Goods", etc.

Or avocado.

Thanks, Rich

I think it is more univerxal, in Dutch it is 'witgoed', translates exactly the same (wit = white and goed = goods).

Here in Australia the stereotypical term is "wench"

There are also "brown goods" - electronic products like TVs, DVDs, etc.

Actually I think it's a very common _industry_ term in the US and Canada as well, just not widely used by consumers and other lay persons.

Eg. (this is the major US-based industry publication)

Does anybody know if Samsung uses inverter, say 3 phase electronic motor drive, in their washing machines? I want to buy a new one, most seem to have DC motors wit hbrushes, but I do not want brushes.

wit hbrushes,

Why not? Get a Miele and it will last for decades. If not, its easy to repair.

Our first house had a harvest gold oven and an avocado refrigerator. Every house (~200) in the development came with that combination.

They all will be in a few months (only the oven to go but it'll cost ~$1K to run the gas line around the house). ;-)
