Q. If there is a significant sale of small kitchen appliances, can I buy stuff now and used after the nine days?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a indicated that there is no prohibition on buying small kitchen appliances even during the Nine Days, as their purchase does not generate a great feeling of joy and we do not recite Sheheyanu when they are acquired.
