Household Appliances in Portuguese

Welcome to this lesson on household appliances in Portuguese. This lesson will cover all the essentials that you use in a home and how to talk about them in Portuguese. These are words you come across everyday whether you’re traveling around or living in a Portuguese-speaking country. You never know when you’ll be at a hotel and need to use an iron or figure out how to work the washing machine!
