Desktop water purifiers are more convenient to install and use than water purifiers, with a small body and about the same size as ordinary water dispensers, so they have become the first choice for many people's household drinking equipment. So, which is the best desktop drink purifier?Next, we selected 5 best-selling desktop drink purifiers and conducted a detailed comparison and evaluation of them, which you can use as a reference to buy.
The five products participating in this horizontal evaluation, from left to right, are: Biyunquan G3 Pro Jike Standard Edition, Dexi WB-1, Midea Baize JR2182T-RO, Mijia Desktop Drink Purifier Smart Enjoyment Edition, and Philips ADD6860 Standard Edition. Their ** range from 1699-2599, combined with daily use and needs, from the appearance, control panel, filter consumables, water tank, water outlet, intelligence, water box and special functions, a total of 8 aspects are compared.
Judging from their power and temperature parameters, these 5 products all support the child lock function, which can greatly improve the safety performance when used by the elderly and children. The power of Biyunquan and Dexi is 2200W, and the other 3 units are 2100W. In terms of temperature, the highest temperature of Dexi and Mijia is 95, the highest is 98 for Biyunquan and Mei, and 99 for Philips, and the maximum water temperature of the five products cannot reach the boiling point.
First, the comparison of appearance
The evaluation of appearance is a bit subjective, it depends on which one is the most pleasing to the eye. These products all adopt a minimalist design, and there are differences in the overall shape, touchpad, and water outlet details.
The order of the fuselage in order of height is: Dexi Biyunquan Midea Mijia Philips, and in order of front width: Biyunquan Mijia Midea Dexi Philips. Biyunquan's fuselage looks the smallest, Midea and Mi are decent, Philips due to the use of external pure water bottle design, the outside is slightly more complicated, and the size is also the largest.
2. Comparison of control panels
The control panels of the 5 products all support touch operation and have child lock settings, the difference is mainly reflected in the function display of the panel.
The control panels of Biyunquan, Dexi, and Philips can display more functions, such as filter life, raw pure water TDS value, water production status, water temperature, etc. Among them, Biyunquan uses color screen design, the overall functional layout is reasonable, and it is easier to useThe relative complexity of the Dexie, its temperature and water volume are purely numerical, which is not so friendly to children;Philips is the most complex of the 5 models, and nearly 20 buttons really add a lot of difficulty to use.
Midea and Mijia's control panels are much simpler. Midea's panel looks quite large, but in fact, only the middle area can be displayed and controlled, mainly providing status prompts, water temperature adjustment of the water control function, but there is no quantitative water design function, you need to pay attention to stop the water when taking water, otherwise the water cup overflow will not stop.
Mi Home has the smallest screen size,In addition to the status prompt,Users can select the drinking mode through the directional touch on both sides of the screen,The bottom of the screen is the child lock、Water intake and water quantity selection,The default is 150ml、300ml、MAX three levels of water volume,Users can modify it in the Mi Home app。
From the actual use point of view, it is not important whether the control panel displays the TDS value, but more importantly, it can choose the appropriate water temperature and quantity. Therefore, in this link, the order given is: Midea, Philips, Dexi, Biyunquan, Mijia.
3. Comparison of filter consumables
Under the premise of being reasonable, we prefer products with high-quality filtration effects and inexpensive filter consumables. In terms of water filtration technology, Biyunquan and Dexi still use the old generation of multi-stage filter combinations, the former is 3 filter elements, and the latter is 4 filter elements;Midea, Mijia and Philips all use new composite filter cartridges, of which Mijia is a dual-core combination.
In terms of the replacement of the filter element, Midea adopts a two-stage buckle design, and the other models are all quick-spin core change designs. The filter cartridges of several products are very simple to replace and can be done by yourself.
However, in the midst of this, there is some confusion about the filter replacement plan of Texi. Although it provides an independent power switch and manual drain hole, its filter element is horizontally side-by-side, which needs to be disassembled and assembled through special tools, and the installation is also more cumbersome.
The other 4 core changes can be controlled in about 15 seconds, while Dexie takes nearly 1 minute. And if you don't drain the water in advance, the water will overflow from the filter connection when you remove the old filter, and the table will be wet. The other 4 models are all at the same level except for the difference in the number of filter elements.
Let's take a look at the filter consumables level and ** of each company. It is not difficult to see from the parameters that the water purification level of each family basically uses similar materials, and in terms of filtration layers, Biyunquan and Dexi are 4, Midea 5, Mijia and Philips 6. Among them, Philips uses Aquaporin aquaporin membrane, while the other 4 models use RO membrane.
On the ** of the filter element, the cost performance of the 5 products has been opened all of a sudden. Calculated based on the lowest filter replacement cycle given by each company, the order of daily cost is: Mijia, Midea, Biyunquan, Philips, and Dexi. Mijia has obvious cost-effective advantages.
Fourth, the comparison of water tanks
All 5 types of desktop water purifiers are designed with independent water tanks, just open the water tank cover, lift the water tank, add water and put it back on the body. Among them, the cover plate of the water tank and the water tank of Biyun Spring are designed to be connected, and the cover plate of the pure water tank can be opened to facilitate daily cleaning. The water tank cover of Dexi is connected to the body, and there is no need to consider the cover when picking up the water tank.
In terms of the convenience of changing water, the design of several products is very simple, but in terms of the performance of details, Midea's water tank is not tight after combining with the body, and it can be shaken back and forth by hand, and the stability is weak.
In the design of the water tank, three schemes are mainly adopted: "integrated, semi-detached, and fully detached". Although the integrated and semi-separated water tanks will extract the pure water in the raw water after a period of use, the wastewater without isolation is mixed with the raw water again, not to mention the proportion of wastewater, and the loss of the filter element is increased, so it is believed that the water tank with the full separation of raw wastewater is the most reasonable. Among the 5 products, only Mijia adopts this design, which achieves complete isolation.
In the design of the pure water tank, Biyunquan, Dexi, and Mijia 3 products all support UV sterilization function, while Midea and Philips do not. In addition, except for Midea and Mijia, the other 3 models did not explain the material of the waterway. In addition to BPA-free waterways, Mijia also uses silicone-free pipes, which is more environmentally friendly.
In terms of water tank capacity, the order is: Biyunquan Dexi Midea Philips Mijia.
Combined with the difficulty of adding water, the design of the water tank, the sterilization function and other performances, the comprehensive ranking of this link should be: Midea Biyunquan Dexi Philips Mijia.
5. Comparison of water output speed and quality
In the test of water dispensing speed, these desktop drinking machines take a glass of 45 150ml water, and the time is not much different, between 14-18 seconds, and the order is: Philips 14 seconds, Biyunquan 15 seconds, Dexi 16 seconds, and Mijia 18 seconds.
Since Midea does not have a quantitative water intake function, it can only estimate the amount of water to test manually, and the result is that it takes about 13 seconds. It is the fastest to dispense water, but unfortunately it cannot be quantified, and it is not so friendly to the children at home when used.
The TDS value can be used as a reference for water quality testing, the TDS of local tap water is about 150mg L, using the same tap water, the same cup after cleaning with mineral water and the TDS detector, the test results are sorted as: Mijia Biyunquan Dexi Midea Philips. Philips has the highest TDS, which is acceptable considering that its filtration is rich in strontium mineralization and that the TDS values of the equipment self-test are consistent with those of the TFDS detector.
From the perspective of water purification, several machines use RO reverse osmosis purification technology, and the water purification performance is excellent, and it will not have a big impact on daily drinking water.
Sixth, intelligent comparison
In this link, Biyunquan and Dexi were not equipped with apps because they were listed relatively early. Midea, Mijia, and Philips have their own characteristics.
Midea supports the Midea Mercure app and Midea Mercure WeChat applet control, which are the most abundant channels among the three. The app can be interconnected with other Midea devices, and the interface of the water purifier provides information such as "filter element, water quality, temperature, self-test, and water intake". The interface of the WeChat Mini Program is more concise, and only provides a few items of "water intake, filter element, and temperature setting".
As the earliest brand to build a home intelligent ecology in China, the mature Xiaomi AIoT ecology has been recognized by many users, whether it is the type of device, the richness of functions or the actual operation experience, it is among the best in China, and it is far ahead in the degree of APP intelligence. The Mijia interface provides a wealth of drinking scene modes, and supports user-defined settings, which can set the temperature and water volume according to drinking water Xi, and can also customize the mode name, which can be pushed to the drinking purifier with one click, which is very user-friendly.
Mijia also has a big killer,That is, there is a hidden NFC induction device under the water box,You can configure the temperature and water volume through the NFC intelligent induction water cup,Put the NFC intelligent induction water cup on the water receiving box when taking water,The machine can automatically dispense water according to the configuration,There is no need for even buttons,More humane。
Philips, like Mi Home, needs to be controlled online through the Philips Water Health app. The interface of the water purifier provides information such as "TDS, water temperature, stepless temperature regulation, water volume, intelligent memory", etc., but in terms of device support, you can only see water purifiers, water purifiers, toilet lids, and water heaters, and do not support scene linkage.
It is not difficult to see through the list of various APP functions that Mijia's advantages are obvious, not only in terms of IoT interaction, but also in the types of devices supported, which is more convenient and intelligent;Midea is not far behind, but slightly weaker in multi-device linkage and detail functions;Philips does not support multi-device linkage, which is actually playing an intelligent edge ball. The order of this link should be: Philips Midea Mijia.
7. Comparison of water boxes
Biyunquan's water box is relatively decent, the drain tray matches the size of the fuselage, and the depth is sufficient, but the water storage is limited. Dexi's drain tray is the most non-existent of the 5 models, too small and shallow, and not very practical. Midea and Mijia use a traditional drain tray design, which is consistent with the width of the fuselage and has enough depth, and has a good water storage capacity. However, Midea's panel is made of metal, while Mi's home is plastic. Philips' drain tray is as shallow as Dexie, but much larger and has a magnetic design that can be adsorbed at different heights.
In the design of the water box, combined with practicality, material and water storage, the order is: Texas Biyunquan Philips Mi Home Midea.
8. Comparison of special functions
These 5 desktop drink purifiers all have their own characteristics, and here we only mention the ones that they have and others don't have.
Biyunquan has NFC function, but it only supports NFC induction intelligent element change, which can automatically complete the reset of the filter element life after replacing the filter element, which is simpler and more convenient than manual reset.
The biggest feature of Philips is the independent external water bottle design, which can be freely placed in the living room, bedroom, kitchen and other environments, but it must be cleaned frequently every day. The design of the middle and lower two sections of magnetic water box is also quite good, which is convenient for cups of different heights to take water and avoid water splashing.
Mijia has a lot of characteristics, after all, it has enough advantages in device interconnection, such as allowing Xiaoai to inform the status of the filter element in time through the Xiaomi AIot ecosystem. Its NFC function is also very practical, just configure the included NFC smart sensor water cup in the Mi Home app in advance, set the water temperature and water volume, and place the NFC smart sensor water cup on the drain tray when taking water, and the machine will automatically identify and dispense water, completely free your hands, and don't worry about water temperature, water volume and water overflow.
Mijia also comes with an additional paste-on NFC chip, the configuration steps are the same as above, you can paste it on ordinary glasses, thermos cups, etc., making it more convenient to get water. However, the NFC chip that comes with it is a bit less, and it has to be made up according to the number of people in the family.
That's all for the comparative evaluation of 5 desktop drink purifiers, and finally to summarize. From the point of view of the performance of water purification and heating efficiency, there is not much difference between several products, and from the perspective of filter element ** and intelligent control, Mijia's advantages are extremely obvious.
Aside from the special functions, among the 11 detailed items, the highest score was 5 points, and finally the Mijia desktop drink purifier won the first place with 44 points;Midea's non-quantitative water intake function, the performance is decent, ranking second;Biyunquan has the smallest fuselage, and the overall performance is balanced, except that it does not support intelligent operation, there are almost no low scores, ranking third. Judging from the actual use and the acceptance of the intelligent ecology, they are more willing to choose Mijia's products, multi-device interconnection brings rich intelligent control, NFC functions are also very user-friendly, plus the cost of filter elements in the later stage, it is very worth paying for it. 100 help plan
