Gen Z find coffee maker a necessity, reveals AMDEA survey

Gen Z find coffee machines a necessity, according to an Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances (AMDEA) survey, marking Register My Appliance Week.

Gen Z find coffee machines a necessity, according to an Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances (AMDEA) survey, marking Register My Appliance Week.

Coffee makers must have for Gen Z finds AMDEA survey

The  poll  of 2,000 adults revealed how much different generations value various appliances around the home.

For coffee-mad Gen Z, less than half (41%) felt their coffee machine was a luxury item, compared to 64% of both Boomers and Gen X.

While 70% of Baby Boomers still reached for their kettle for an early morning brew.

Gen Xers were found to be particularly excited by smart tech and indicated that they were five times more likely than their grandparents to view it as an important feature when buying a new appliance.

With the younger generation are also less likely to consider hair tongs (30%) and air fryers (33%) a luxury compared to boomers (55% for hair tongs and 47% for air fryers.  

However, washing machines united the generations by reigning supreme as one of the three appliances all would find most challenging to live without.

A total of 62% named the washing machine most vital. Fridges were only slightly behind with 59% saying they were vital to everyday living, with the oven following at 32%. 

Washing machines also came top when respondents were asked which appliances had most revolutionised how people do household chores: a total of 58% agreed they were transformational.  

And all generations seem to be switched on to the benefits of energy efficiency in appliances, as 80% of all adults said energy efficiency was an important factor when buying a new appliance, with 65% checking its green credentials before parting with their cash.

Despite this appreciation of appliances – with an estimated 133 million fridges, washing machines and ovens in use in UK homes – nearly a third of households have never or rarely registered their large appliances.

It makes them hard to trace if a safety repair is needed.

This registration message receives ongoing support from 150+ Fire and Rescue Services nationwide.

AMDEA CEO Paul Hide said: “We are clearly a nation of appliance lovers, who appreciate the transformative effect they’ve had on our lives and who are excited by the future of smart tech, especially the younger generations.

“However, people are missing out on an important safety benefit – an estimated 40 million large appliances are unregistered, which means they are untraceable if a safety repair is needed. It’s simple, quick and free to register @regmyappliance.org,uk and buys householders an invaluable slice of peace of mind.”

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.

Inspired by Ancient Rome,  Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.

While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
