Consumer electronics or home electronics are electronic or digital equipment intended for everyday use, typically in private homes.

Consumer electronics include devices used for entertainment (flatscreen TVs, DVD players, DVD movies, iPods, video games, remote control cars, etc), communications (telephones, cell phones, e-mail-capable laptops, etc), and home-office activities (e.g., desktop computers, printers, paper shredders, etc).

In British English, they are often called brown goods by producers and sellers, to distinguish them from "white goods" such as washing machines and refrigerators.

In the 2010s, this distinction is not always present in large big box consumer electronics stores, such as Best Buy, which sell both entertainment, communications, and home office devices and kitchen appliances such as refrigerators.

Consumer electronics stores differ from professional audio stores in that the former sells consumer-grade electronics for private use, whereas the latter sells professional-grade electronics designed for use by audio engineers and audio technicians.

Home appliances are electrical/mechanical machines which accomplish some household functions, such as cooling/heating, cooking or cleaning.

Home appliances can be classified into:

An extended warranty, sometimes called a service agreement, a service contract, or a maintenance agreement, is a prolonged warranty offered to consumers in addition to the standard warranty on new items.

The extended warranty may be offered by the warranty administrator, the retailer or the manufacturer.

Extended warranties cost extra and for a percentage of the item's retail price.

Occasionally, some extended warranties that are purchased for multiple years state in writing that during the first year, the consumer must still deal with the manufacturer in the occurrence of malfunction.

Thus, what is often promoted as a five-year extended guarantee, for example, is actually only a four-year guarantee.

Technical support (often shortened to tech support) refers to a plethora of services by which enterprises provide assistance to users of technology products such as mobile phones, televisions, computers, software products or other informatic, electronic or mechanical goods.

In general, technical support services address specific problems with a product or service rather than the provision of training, customization, or other support services.
