Electrical Appliances - Wholesalers and Manufacturers

Wholesalers and manufacturers of these appliances generally offer a comprehensive range of electrical appliances. Electrical appliances are any appliance which is powered by electricity, usually also including those which are battery operated.

Electrical appliance wholesalers may specialise in or stock audio, video, camera and other home and entertainment products. They may also stock major kitchen, laundry and other large and smaller electrical appliances including washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, vacuum cleaners, heaters, air conditioners, BBQs, ovens, toasters, kettles, irons and computers. There are many makes, models and brands of electrical appliances on the market and wholesalers may be able to offer a wide range of brands, or may specialise in only one or two brands.

Electrical appliance manufacturers will more often deal in a small range of appliances, for example refrigerators or ovens, however some will manufacture a broad range of usually smaller appliances. Appliances wholesalers may also deal with retail customers, and may even offer wholesale pricing to these retail customers, however manufacturers will most often only supply on wholesale, bulk terms, and will deal with independent and chain retailers.

All electrical appliances sold in Australia must comply with Australian safety standards and must have been tested for electrical operation and safety. Where appropriate, appliances will also be rated for efficiency using the “star” system; such that the greater the number of stars, the more energy efficient the appliance.
