The Appliance Stock Index, a composite index based on average wattages, was devised to represent the total number of appliances owned by a household. Eight indices for different categories of appliances were also developed. The effects of selected household characteristics on the ownership of appliances in terms of the developed indices were examined. Recommendations for future research were stated.
