Appliances

The ranking in terms of access to electricity services is based on the types and corresponding size of electric appliances used. Tier 1 refers to households that use lighting, cell phone chargers, and other small devices like radios, whereas Tier 2 also includes slightly bigger items such as TVs and computers. Tier 3 includes refrigerators, air coolers, food processes, and other medium-sized devices. In Tier 4, households can use larger appliances such as washing machines and microwaves. Tier 5 covers all desired appliances, including air conditioners, electric water heaters, and electric showers.

The different appliances households use, as well as the desired and desired but unaffordable appliances, are shown in the graphs below.
