The word appliance has several different areas of meaning, all usually referring to a device with a narrow function:

• One class of objects includes items that are custom-fitted to an individual for the purpose of correction of a physical or dental problem, such as prosthetic, orthotic appliances and dental braces.

• Another class of objects includes items that accomplish routine household tasks, using electricity or some other energy input. These are grouped into two categories: small appliances and major appliances. Such items as toilets and sinks are not appliances, but plumbing fixtures, because they operate only with water and not with energy input.

• A certain class of computer products, where the device has a specific function, and limited ability to configure.
