I think someone asked this on the commitment phrase, but I do not remember the responses.
Are we going to allow questions related to appliances?
An example could it be:
Which washer/dryer allows me to control it using my smartphone?
In this case, it is asking for a appliance, but the feature of "control it using a smartphone" might be on topic.
Based on our core audience and the community building this site, I would expect "hardware" to be directly related to technology or computing devices to some degree. In reality, this is more of a "technology recommendations" site than something directly related to computers; but it is generally understood that such hardware includes peripherals and similarly associated devices. How far you want to extend that association is up to you… but I don't generally see this including "non technology" products like hammers, saws, and other tools you typically find in your "hardware store" <grin>.
