To buy electrical appliances, you don't have to buy the most expensive ones, especially those that must be bought, or you still have to buy the most basic ones. For example, the four electrical appliances that we are going to introduce today do not require the purchase of expensive appliances, and it is recommended that you do not waste money.
1. Range hood
If you want me to say, the range hood must be a profiteering industry, which cannot be refuted;
A home appliance dealer complained to me: "Some high-end range hoods have five or six thousand after-sales service, which is not as good as two." ”
Not to mention its technology, even its raw materials, are not comparable to it. We all know that air conditioners are divided into two types, inside and outside, one is internal and the other is external.
In contrast, the construction of a range hood is simple. One motor, two fans, one chassis. Even if it's pure copper, it's only a few hundred dollars.
Moreover, the effect of smoke exhaust depends on its suction, wind pressure, air volume and other parameters. In other words, at the same performance parameters, cheap cigarettes have almost the same effect on smoking as expensive cigarettes.
Therefore, the range hood does not need to be too expensive, and most of the ones sold for 4,000 yuan on the market are equipped with some additional functions, such as waving your hand to sense it, and it will automatically remove the oil.
We chose a range hood with a wind volume of more than 17 meters, a wind pressure of more than 300 pa, and a noise of no more than 65 dB, **between 1000-2000 yuan, which is already very good. In terms of brands, you can look at Shuaikang, Vantage, and Supor, which are all more affordable, that is, mid-range.
2. Water heater
Water heaters, which are available in every household, especially in the Northeast, can solve the problem of bathing in winter.
If you use a natural gas water heater, then it's best to buy a higher one; After all, this thing has a price, and spending more money can add a new function, such as constant temperature, no cold water, etc., which can meet your needs, and when the time comes, it will be very different.
However, if your home is a water store, I recommend that you don't waste money. This thing, whether it is high or low, meets the safety standards, the only difference is the capacity and the liner.
The water heater itself has a very low technology content, generally only seven or eight years of life. No matter how many expensive things you buy, there is a capacity limit, and when you run out, you have to reheat it, and after a long time, it will be full of dirt and have to be cleaned up.
Therefore, spending thousands of dollars for an electric water heater is really not cost-effective. With this, it is better to buy a gas water heater directly, the hot water can be heated directly, and it can also save energy, and there is no need to worry about future maintenance.
Of course, if you really don't have the money and have to use an electric water heater, then buy the cheapest, the cheapest, with a capacity of more than 60 l and an energy efficiency of more than 2 levels. In terms of brands, Haier, Midea, Wanjiale, these are all old-fashioned, good quality, good after-sales service.
3. Water purifier
To say that the household appliance industry, the biggest trap is the water purifier, there are too many traps in it, there are too many people, for this, there are not a few people who are willing to spend money.
You must know that no matter what water purifier is on the market, it is used to filter water, and the water is healthier. So, don't be deceived by all kinds of advertisements and all kinds of magical effects, they say that water purifiers have the effect of beauty and health care, that is, pay high taxes.
This thing is not very technical, just a few filters, a pump, and a housing. Seven or eight hundred dollars at most. In addition, the quality of the water purifier depends on the filter, if the filter grade is not enough, then the water is garbage.
Take the water purifier next door to my house as an example, an activated carbon filter and an ultraviolet lamp cost six or seven thousand yuan, and it costs 1,500 yuan to change the filter element once a year, which is also outrageous, right?
Therefore, don't buy any expensive water purifiers, less than 2,000 yuan is fine, for the average family, it is enough. If you want to drink it directly, you must choose one with RO reverse osmosis membrane, and you must buy a plug-in sewage, because the reverse osmosis membrane needs to be physically pressurized before the water can be discharged.
In addition, it is necessary to understand the ** of the filter, so as not to have money and no money to use.
Fourth, fingerprint lock
It is undeniable that many people will replace their houses with smart fingerprint locks. After all, he doesn't need to take the key, and opening the door at home is also a very smart thing.
However, I can't figure out why someone would spend so much money on a fingerprint lock? If you want to talk about locks, the most important thing is the lock cylinder, and now those sold on the market are often thousands of yuan, and they are all C-level, and there is absolutely nothing to say about security.
As for fingerprint unlocking, password unlocking, and traditional key unlocking, these are all universal, and the only difference is the appearance.
Therefore, high-end brand fingerprint locks rely on famous brands and bells and whistles to make money. What cat's eye surveillance, abnormal capture, three-dimensional face recognition, this so-called high-tech, in most cases, is chicken ribs, and there is no reason to spend money at all.
In addition, you should know that if there are more functions in this smart door lock, there will be failures, which will lead to a decrease in battery life. Therefore, if you buy a fingerprint lock that is expensive, then buy a thousand-dollar one, which is much more cost-effective than you buy a 3,000-yuan "famous brand".
For example, Xiaomi, Luke, General Shi, although these brands are not as good as Dessmann, Kadis, Philips, etc., but their ** is higher, the quality is better, and the reputation is better.
Conclusion at the end of the article
Remind everyone that no matter what kind of household appliance you choose, its own practicality should come first; You must not be fooled by all the bells and whistles. Especially those bells and whistles plugins, which look high-end, but are actually useless; In these days, it is not easy for everyone to make money, don't pay your hard-earned money to the "IQ tax"!
