Some people say that when they see old household appliances with a sense of age, they think of when they were children. Fathers and mothers, old fellows, can still be used after twenty or thirty years.
My mother-in-law's double-barrel washing machine has been used for more than ten years, and every time I tell them that it is time to change it! It's time for a change! But they always feel that household appliances can be used all the time if they are not broken, and it is useless to persuade the thrift printed in their bones.
In fact, not only them, for the vast majority of families, the electrical appliances at home can be used, and if there is no fault, everyone will not consider replacing them.
I also often hear people say that my appliances have been used for 20 years, and the quality is very good, and they are not broken.
But is this really appropriate?
You must know that all household appliances have a service life, and with the increase of life, the performance of household appliances will gradually decline, and the experience is not as good as before, if it is not replaced in time, it is very likely to cause safety accidents.
So, don't be complacent about the fact that your appliances will last for 20 years, and remember that if the following 5 situations occur, even if the appliances are not broken, it is recommended that you replace them in time.
After the service life of household appliances, not to mention the increase in power consumption, there may also be dangers such as disasters and leakage due to aging components, such as the following electrical appliances:
Electric Water Heater:The safe service life of the electric water heater is 8 years, and beyond this period, it is easy to have problems such as aging lines, failure of safety protection system, and leakage.
As a water-related and electricity-related household appliance, the safety of the water heater is very important, once a safety accident such as leakage occurs, the consequences can only be borne by oneself after the age has passed.
Therefore, check if you find that the water heater at home is over the service life, there is leakage, and the heating effect has decreased significantly, replace it as soon as possible, and don't affect our quality of life because of it.
Electric Pressure Cooker:I went to a friend's house, and found that they have an old electric pressure cooker still in use, he said that it should be seven or eight years, less than 200 yuan when I bought it, the cost performance is invincible, and it is very good to use.
I persuaded him that this pot can be used and it is also recommended to replace it, because the age of the electric pressure cooker is also 8 years, and after more than 8 years, the internal pressure protection device, pressure valve, and sensor may fail, resulting in air leakage and other problems in the pressure cooker.
In addition to electric water heaters and electric pressure cookers, in fact, every household appliance has a safe service life, and the specific age table is shown in the figure below.
Exceeding the safe service life, even if it is not broken, the product performance declines, energy consumption soars, and more importantly, there are potential safety hazards, such as spontaneous combustion, leakage, etc.
When the new national standard of household appliances is very different from the old national standard, it is recommended to replace the new national standard in time, because they are not only different in function and appearance, but also have great changes in characteristics.
For example, the following types of electrical appliances:
Gas Water Heater:This first-generation water heater used to be in-line, but now the state prohibits its its use.
Because the circuit direction of the in-line gas water heater is very simpleThe exhaust gas emission is not complete during ignition, and there will be deflagration after a long timeThere is a loud sound, this is the induction needle has carbon deposits, fire blockage, ignition failure if the ignition continues to ignite, the gas is not discharged, and there is no fan pumping, a large amount of gas is accumulated in the combustion chamber, and the ignition will deflagrate again.
If you are still using this in-line gas water heater, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Gas stove:In the past, the old-fashioned gas stove did not have any protection device, and the air tightness and ignition performance were relatively poor, such as the old-fashioned gas stove often had many ignition failures, the ignition had deflagration, the flame was yellow flame, and the burner had a leakage phenomenon.
Compared with the current gas stove, the safety in the national standard must have a flame-out protection function to prevent gas leakage.
In addition to safety issues, the national standard upgrade also has low energy consumption, low pollution, and high environmental protection, and the difference between the old and new national standard products is still relatively large.
In addition to gas water heaters and gas stoves, there are plug-in boards, and the new national standard socket has added a protective door in the socket, and the new national standard for air conditioning has also raised the entry threshold, and the original fixed-frequency air conditioner has been eliminated and upgraded to a variable frequency air conditioner.
Household appliances are changing with each passing day, new technologies and smart appliances are constantly emerging, and those that are eliminated are those old technology products, such as the most common:
Fixed-frequency air conditioning:The original fixed-frequency air conditioner has been upgraded to an inverter air conditioner because of its high energy efficiency, high noise, hot and cold, poor comfort, and difficulty in adapting to modern life.
Direct cooling refrigerator:The original direct cooling refrigerator is mostly on the verge of elimination due to problems such as freezing in the freezer, water accumulation in the refrigerator, uneven temperature, and inaccurate temperature control, so that everyone has replaced it with an air-cooled refrigerator.
Although fixed-frequency air conditioners and direct-cooled refrigerators are still available in the market, it is really not recommended that you buy them, and if you still have these products at home, it is also recommended to replace them as soon as possible.
A netizen bought a dishwasher for thousands of dollars, but the result made her so disappointed!
She said that her family would rather cook than wash dishes, so they discussed buying a dishwasher, but they waited for the dishwasher to wash for two hours with hope, but they were disappointed that they were not washed at all, and there were still vegetable residues in the dishes, and there were grease stains on the back, and finally they had to be washed by hand again.
There are underwear washing machines, socks washing machines, originally bought with the idea of freeing your hands, but I didn't expect to buy home, each time up to three **, more wash can not move, wash when you manually add water, put water, the whole process only saves the trouble of rubbing, and the rest have to get started.
Not only does it cost water and electricity, but you also have to clean the machine after washing, so these unused household appliances are still kept and thrown away when they are broken?
Sometimes I don't know what's wrong, is the quality control of electrical appliances too poor? Or do you have a water reversal yourself? It doesn't take long for the appliances you bought to break down.
There is no major problem, and it can be used for repair, and it is recommended that you should replace it with a new one as soon as possible.
My air conditioner, when I bought the 2-year warranty and extended the money for three years, the warranty to 5 years, this air conditioner is also one to 2 years quasi-bad, usually every other three or five a little problem, not refrigeration, or the line is broken, or the host is broken, in short, frequent problems.
Each warranty appointment has to be a week at the earliest, sometimes it takes half a month, the master comes to disassemble the machine for half an hour, repair 2 hours, so that after repairing a few times, people are going to collapse, and then I bought a new one, much happier and happier.
There are also some small household appliances, such as air fryers and microwave ovens, which are broken after not being used a few times, one is not heated when started, and the other is simply plugged in and has no reaction.
If you are bothered by the small problems of these appliances all day long, it is better to give up directly.
Summary at the end of the article:
An efficient and easy-to-use household appliance can ensure the quality and safety of the family's life, and the above 5 types of household appliances must be replaced if they are not broken, otherwise staying at home is to "find fault" for themselves.
Please don't ignore their service life, technology updates, and performance issues because they are "usable", if you can afford it, it is wise to replace them with new ones in time!
