While a washing machine came third on a list of 30 products which have changed our lives, broadband came first and the internet second. Email was fourth...one place ahead of the freezer. The toaster was way down at 20th, behind satellite TV, the iPhone, satnav and Facebook. The study of 2,000 adults found six in 10 feel they are slow to get the latest technology and a third will only buy replacement items if the old ones are broken. Many of us “upgrade” a partner more often than we change appliances. Nearlya third of those questioned had a fridge, toaster or washing machine that had outlasted several relationships. But getting the first dishwasher and switching to an electric toothbrush are among our life-changing moments. The research was conducted by Hotpoint to mark the launch of its Home IQ campaign which aims to suggest ways to use technology to make our households more efficient. It found the average home has three major appliances that are currently broken or only partly functioning. Just 16 per cent could say they felt theirhome was “up to date”.
