Why is it masculine?

Appareils is masculine because it derives from the Latin "apparatus" (noun), which was inherently masculine in Latin's grammatical system, and French retained this gender assignment when the word evolved through Old French. The Latin root itself came from "apparare" (to prepare/arrange), and masculine nouns ending in "-atus" in Latin generally became masculine nouns ending in "-eil" or "-ail" in French.
