This sentence often appears in my comment area, saying that some of my home appliances have not broken for 20 years (we don't know why they are all 20 years). Every now and then, I will curse in my heartIs this really appropriate?
Timely replacement of household appliances can not only improve the quality of life, but also eliminate the hidden dangers of electricity. So don't be complacent about "20 years of use", in 5 cases, it is recommended to replace the household appliances if they are not broken.
Household appliances that are overdue
Some household appliances have a service life, and overdue use will bring some safety hazards.
Electric water heaters, the service life is 8 years. After more than 8 years, it is easy to have problems such as leakage due to the aging of components. Since this period is written into the national standard and written on the packaging, it is difficult to protect rights even if there is a leakage problem.
The service life of the electric pressure cooker is also 8 years. After more than 8 years, the internal pressure valve, pressure sensor and pressure protection device may fail or even fail, resulting in air leakage and other problems in the pressure cooker.
Useful life warnings.
Not only these two types of appliances, in fact, each type of appliance has an optimal service life. After the expiration date, there may be no safety risks, but it will become more and more difficult to use. For example, air conditioning, after more than 10 years, the cooling effect will deteriorate; Microwave ovens, after more than 10 years, there will be problems such as microwave emissivity decrease. The effect is not as good as before!
Old national standard appliances
When a certain kind of household appliance has a major national standard update, it is also recommended to replace it in time.
Gas water heaters, in the past, there would be in-line type, and later the in-line type was banned by the national standard. The reason is that the exhaust gas discharged by in-line exhaust is not complete, which may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning in personnel. If you still have a home, you should tear it down immediately.
Gas stoves, which in the past can not have any protective devices. Nowadays, it is necessary to have a flameout protection function to avoid gas leakage, which is also an update of the national standard for safety, and it is also recommended to upgrade the product in time with the national standard.
In addition to these national standard upgrades for security, there are other aspects of national standard upgrades. For example, range hoods, new products have a delayed shutdown function, which will be a lot more convenient to use. The wastewater ratio of water purifiers and new products is above 2:1, compared with 1:1 and 1 beforeThe 5:1 water machine can save a lot of water bills.
Old technology appliances
After the new technology of household appliances is produced and perfected, we should also eliminate the old technology household appliances at home in time.
Fixed-frequency air conditioners, compared with current inverter air conditioners, not only consume high power, but also have very poor comfort. The noise is loud, the air outlet is hard, the air is hot and cold, and I don't want to use the fixed frequency after using the inverter air conditioner.
Compared with the current air-cooled refrigerator, there will be problems such as freezing in the freezer, freezing in the refrigerator, water accumulation in the refrigerator, uneven temperature, and inaccurate temperature control.
Although fixed-frequency air conditioners and direct-cooling refrigerators are still on sale, it is absolutely not recommended to buy them if they are for home use – and if they are still at home, it is recommended to return them as soon as possible. Only after using new technology products do you know that old technology is really difficult to use! In addition to these two major appliances, there are also small household appliances such as soybean milk machines that need to filter slag and air fryers that need to be turned over.
Minor faulty appliances
If there are often some small problems with household appliances, you can continue to use them in time, and it is also recommended to replace them with new ones.
I had a washing machine at home, but today the bucket won't turn, and tomorrow it won't drain. In short, there are problems every day, and it is often called after-sales. At least a few dozen yuan after an after-sales service, you can buy a new one after calculating the maintenance cost for a year.
I also have a vacuum machine in my house, and the vacuum pump in it is constantly on strike. Leave it for a period of time or pat it twice and it can return to normal - this situation is not recommended to continue to use the appliance.
We must always remember that the purpose of using home appliances is to improve the quality of life. I'm afraid that there will be problems with household appliances all day long, so I dislike it before using it every time, don't pick on it. I don't think it's about buying a home appliance, it's about inviting an ancestor. Therefore, it is recommended to throw away home appliances that have many problems but are not too expensive, or those that have high maintenance costs.
It's not good to use appliances
When you buy home appliances, you find that they are different from what you heard before, and at this time, you have to wonder if you are the only one who is not easy to use.
I bought a sweeping robot before, and I even posted a special post to complain about it. Later, it was found that the robots of netizens were very easy to use. At that time, I knew that I had bought the wrong one, but I waited for it to break down and did not replace it.
I also bought a vacuum cleaner, which sucks in the front and blows in the back. "Vacuuming" is to blow the dust on the ground into the air, and it is not as good as expected, but there is no fault at all, and it is the only vacuum cleaner in my house to this day.
It is precisely because of this that in this era when sweeping robots and vacuum cleaners are almost popular, my family still has to rely on manual cleaning. If you don't throw away a bad home appliance in time, it's no different from not having it. Wait until it's broken before throwing it away? Please don't let it work, when will it break!
