About Appliance Granny
Hello There!
Hi, I’m Madlyn — better known here as Appliance Granny!
I’m an almost-retired, tech-savvy grandmother who ran an IT business for 30+ years. I love family, good food, and any gadget with an On–Off switch. I also know first-hand how kitchens can get tricky as we age: heavy pots, hot handles, tiny buttons, confusing settings. My goal is simple:
Help seniors create safer, smarter, more joyful kitchens.
On this site you’ll find practical tips, step-by-step guides, and senior-friendly product picks—always written from lived experience, clear research, and a friendly Granny voice.
Why I started Appliance Granny
My husband and I have bought our share of winners (and duds) over the years—from baby bottle warmers to fancy fridges for a house full of teens. Some lasted for years; others didn’t survive the month. A personal perspective as a grandmother and senior myself , I created Appliance Granny so you can skip the guesswork: what’s safe, what’s simple, what actually helps day to day.
What you’ll find here
Kitchen Safety & Setup: small changes that prevent burns, slips, and strain.
Appliance Reviews for Seniors: lightweight, easy-to-use, clearly labeled controls.
Cooking with Family: fun recipes and ideas to enjoy with grandkids and loved ones.
Healthy, Doable Habits: simple swaps, time-saving hacks, pantry staples that make life easier.
How I review products
Real-world usability first (grip, weight, heat, noise, cleanup).
Transparency: I don’t have brand sponsors. If I use affiliate links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you—and only for items I genuinely believe help seniors.
Plain English: I translate tech jargon into clear, practical advice.
Who this site is for
Seniors, caregivers, busy parents, new homeowners—anyone who wants a safer, calmer kitchen without the overwhelm. If you’re dealing with arthritis, low vision, or just want simpler tools, you’re in the right place.
If you’d like to say hello, you’ll find me on Facebook and Instagram—or drop a note via my Contact page. I love hearing your questions and stories.
With love (and a wooden spoon),
Appliance Granny — Madlyn 🧑🍳
