Pienoiskäyttölaite, often translated as miniature device or small appliance, refers to a compact and usually portable electrical or electronic device designed for a specific, often domestic, purpose. These devices are characterized by their small size and often their energy efficiency compared to larger counterparts. Examples of pienoiskäyttölaite include devices like electric shavers, hand blenders, electric toothbrushes, portable speakers, and small kitchen gadgets such as mini food processors or electric kettles. The term emphasizes the reduced scale and often the specialized function of the appliance. Their portability makes them convenient for travel or for use in limited spaces.
