It's true you can't always judge a book by its cover, but the exteriors of some contemporary appliances may provide a good indication of the functionality inside.

Electrolux's E:Line appliances all share the same aesthetic styling. With the side-by-side E:Line refrigerator, a mark-resistant stainless steel exterior, complete with blue-lit temperature control, is the first clue that it is easy to use and easy to maintain.

The large 600L total-capacity refrigerator and freezer features side-by-side doors, which indicate the appliance is carefully thought out in terms of space allocation.

These two side-by-side doors open up in front of you like French doors, placing the majority of the roomy interiors within immediate reach. Dedicated compartments further maximise the efficient use of space and include everything from wine racks to an adjustable dairy locker.

Another spacial advantage of the E:Line refrigerator can also be seen at a glance. The large capacity cabinet actually sits within a standard-width 900mm cavity.

The blue-lit external temperature control and in-door ice and water dispenser are obvious indications to the E:Line refrigerator's functionality. Less visible features include a fast-freeze function, a multi-flow air delivery system for optimum cooling efficiency, and a door alarm.

Many modern appliances come with more bells, whistles, and fancy lights than you may need. Appliances that instead focus on the essential features and simple, reliable performance often make the most useful kitchen companions.

Simpson appliances are designed simply to make your life easier. The latest Simpson dishwasher offers a good example it has rotary electro-mechanical controls for speed of use, and five wash programmes, including a low energy and quick 30 minute option.

Simpson ovens are just as helpful. Eziset controls, a large 80L capacity, and an A-class energy rating are clear advantages. Clean-up after cooking is also easy, with moulded inside runners meaning there are no nooks or crannies to trap dirt.

Simpson hobs, whether electric or gas, are equally in tune with a busy family's needs. The five-burner gas hob features push-button ignition, a wok burner, and removable trivets for easy cleaning. Both models are family safe, with a child-lock safety feature. The hob's design minimises spills and means both the electric and gas hobs are as easy to clean as Simpson ovens.

The Simpson rangehood's Eziset controls and efficient filters mean this appliance has similar fuss-free advantages.
