What you need to know

Bolstered by improvement in the overall economy, sales of most types of major appliances stabilized after the end of the recession in 2009 and then started to gain ground in 2013 with further improvement in the housing and home renovation markets. Opportunities to help to accelerate sales further exist in catering to an increasingly wide array of lifestyle-related interests and needs and by promoting the increased efficiency that the newest generation of appliances provides.
