question
word-choice
What is the diference betwen 電気製品 and 電化製品?
電化製品 is synonymous to 家電 or home/consumer electrical equipment such as
cleaners, refrigerators, laundry machines, microwaves, and air conditioners.

電気製品 is less common and just means "electric products/devices" in general.
Centrifuges, escalators, oscilloscopes are 電気製品, but they are usually not
called 電化製品.

Although @naruto's answer already clarifies the current distinction between
the two words, it may be good to know how come those two are differentiated.

電気製品 is literally "electric product" that covers everything it should.
Meanwhile, 電化製品 is literally "electri **fied** product", which is originally
used to advertise a new modern lifestyle—now rather commonplace in developed
countries—that replaces human power with that of electricity. Washing machine
instead of washboard, vacuum instead of broom, refrigerator instead of cold
closet, rice cooker instead of iron pot, etc.

So 電化製品 is a quite [path
dependent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_dependence) name, but still
preferred when you refer to home appliances.
