Six kinds of household appliances "can afford to use", the service life is short, and the accessories are expensive, so you are advised to choose carefully
Household appliances play a fundamental role in our daily lives, not only helping us to take care of our housework, but also solving various problems in life.
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, a wide range of new high-tech top electrical appliances have appeared in the household appliance market.
Today, we are going to introduce you to some gadgets that you can buy but can't use, and we recommend that you buy them with caution!
01 Dishwasher.
Presumably, the last thing young people like about washing dishes is washing. And since the advent of the dishwasher, it has solved this problem for us, freeing us from boring housework, which is simply a godsend for lazy people.
There is no doubt that washing dishes in the dishwasher will not only clean the dishes, but also free your hands. Across the country, dishwashers are selling well.
However, many people tend to forget about the problem of follow-up consumption when buying a dishwasher, such as buying a dishwasher and needing a lot of things every day, such as softened water salt, detergent, etc.
All of this adds up to two or three dollars for washing the dishes once, which doesn't sound like much, but it's also a lot of money after a long time. In particular, some high-end dishwashers need to be installed with special dishwashing beads, which makes the cost higher.
In addition, the dishwasher not only has washing and rinsing functions, but also drying and other programs. This also means more electricity and water consumption.
Some families who have used it have calculated an account, using a dishwasher, at least a dozen yuan a day to increase the cost, in the long run, a year to increase the cost of at least a yuan, in ordinary families, it is difficult to bear this cost for a long time.
02 Smart Restroom.
The reason why many people buy a smart toilet is not only because it has many functions and is more convenient, but also because it is not expensive compared to ordinary toilets.
However, many people only find out after buying it home that the more functions of the appliance, the higher the failure rate. For example, after a year or two, the water spray function is broken. The maintenance fee is at least 500 RMB.
You see, many smart toilets are only sold for two or three thousand euros, and the maintenance cost of a water sprinkler is five or six hundred yuan, so the cost is actually not low.
03 Air purifier.
If you have children at home, you might buy an air purifier or two. Because the company claims that home air purifiers not only remove particles from the air, filter pollutants and odors, but also improve the cleanliness of indoor air.
In some cases, such as living in cities with high levels of air pollution, people suffering from allergies or respiratory diseases, or in certain seasons or environments, home air purifiers can be very useful for improving indoor air quality and protecting health.
As a result, more and more homes have purchased air purifiers over the years. However, many people who have come over feel that the air quality has not improved significantly, and the cost of consumables is large!
For example, a filter must be changed every six months, and the filter is about 1 3 times the size of a purifier. Don't change? Not only does that purifier not purify the air, it pollutes it.
The key is that the use effect is not obvious, for example, some netizens said that after buying a purifier, smoking a cigarette in the room, the purifier needs to continue to work for nearly an hour to achieve the effect of no odor at all. No wonder many netizens complain that air purifiers are an IQ tax.
04 Water purifier.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to the hygiene of household drinking water. As a result, many people install water treatment equipment in their homes.
In fact, the ** of the water purifier is not high, like the kitchen water purifier and the ** of the big brand water purifier is only one or two thousand yuan, which is acceptable in the eyes of most people. However, in order to maintain water quality, the filter cartridge needs to be replaced regularly. Such as activated carbon, polypropylene cotton, RO, etc.
Some people think that it is still very cost-effective to spend more than 2,000 yuan to buy pure water. However, after use, it was found that the water purifier also needed to replace the filter element.
For example, one of the author's families: more than 2,000 yuan, including three years of ink cartridges. This ** is very surprising, right? If it's supplemented**, it's even more surprising: the pre-filter cartridge is about 500 yuan every six months; The main filter and post-filter cartridges cost about 1,000 yuan each time once a year – and about 2,000 yuan a year.
But then I learned that there is actually a trick to changing the filter element of the water purifier:
You don't need to follow the instructions to replace them regularly, just bring your own TDS test. Only when the TDS is above or close to 50ppm does the filtered water need to be replaced. The worse the local water quality, the greater the water consumption, and the higher the frequency of replacement.
05 Zero cold water gas water heater.
Cold water 0 means that you can get hot water without putting cold water as long as you turn on the faucet. This is also its biggest selling point.
If your water heater doesn't have this feature, you'll have to wait a dozen or thirty seconds for hot water to come every time you turn on the faucet or shower.
Therefore, many users will choose zero cold water heaters when using hot water.
The zero-chill principle, on the other hand, keeps the water heater warm at all times and ensures that the hot water always fills the pipes through a water pump. This also means that gas water heaters will always be in working order, whether we use water or not! Natural gas consumption will increase substantially.
The purpose of the gas water heater is not to produce cold water"Reduce waiting times and improve quality of life", and not"Save money"。So many users can't help but complain that using waterless hot water costs at least 300-500 yuan a month. So, users who buy waterless cold water in order to save on water bills will definitely be disappointed.
06 Smart TV.
Spoken"Appliances for dummies", I think a lot of people will vote for smart TVs. Spend money on TV, not to mention spending money on watching TV at home.
For example, it's not enough to just open a ***, different film sources also need different**. Even so, you'll have to deal with all sorts of ad bombardment and over-advertising.
In other words, buying a Smart TV is equivalent to becoming a TV manufacturer"ATMs"。
Nowadays, TV software is constantly updated. No matter how high-end the TV you buy, it will still be obsolete in a few years, just like a mobile phone.
So, if you want to buy a TV: don't pay too much attention to smart parameters, the screen is easy to use. As for the smart features, it can be achieved by adding a TV box. There are fewer advertisements, fewer members, and you can change them every two years. It doesn't hurt to buy a box for two or three hundred yuan.
At the end, I don't know if you have noticed, but the categories of household appliances mentioned above all have one thing in common: they can improve certain qualities of life. But on the other hand, our lives haven't been affected much.
Therefore, you should consider this type of equipment that is not necessary in your daily life before buying!
