Household appliances play a pivotal role in daily life, not only to help us take care of housework, but also to solve various life problems for us.
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, in the home appliance market, all kinds of novel, high-tech and high-end home appliances are emerging one after another.
However, although some household appliances are not high, they consume a lot of energy in actual use, and today I will introduce you to a few appliances that can be bought, but may not be able to be used, it is recommended that you buy carefully!
01 Dishwasher.
Today's young people, presumably, the least favorite housework to do is washing dishes. And since the advent of the dishwasher, it has solved this trouble for us, let us get rid of boring housework, for lazy people, it is simply a godsend.
There is no doubt that washing dishes in the dishwasher will not only clean you, but also free your hands. Across the country, dishwashers are selling well.
However, many people often ignore the problem of consumption later when buying a dishwasher, such as using a lot of things every day after they buy it, such as soft water salt, detergent and so on.
These things add up, and the cost of washing dishes is only 2-3 yuan, which doesn't seem like much, but it is also a lot of money for such a long time. In particular, some high-end dishwashers also need to be equipped with special dishwashing beads, which is more expensive.
Moreover, the dishwasher not only has the function of washing and washing, but also has programs such as drying. This means that the amount of electricity used is even greater.
Some families who have used it have calculated an account, after using the dishwasher, the cost of increasing every day is at least more than ten yuan, and in the long run, it will be necessary to increase the cost of at least 1,000 yuan a year, as far as the average family is concerned, it is difficult to afford this cost for a long time.
02 Smart Toilet.
The reason why many people buy smart toilets is not only because they have more functions and are more convenient, but also because they are not too expensive compared to ordinary toilets, after all, the price of smart toilets is similar to that of ordinary toilets + smart toilet covers.
However, after buying it home, many people find that the more functions of the device, the higher the failure rate is actually higher. For example, after a year or two of use, the water spray function will be broken. The maintenance fee is at least 500 yuan.
You know, many smart toilets cost two or three thousand, and it costs five or six hundred yuan to repair a water spray, so the cost is really not cheap.
03 Air purifier.
If you have children at home, most of them will probably buy one or two air purifiers. Because the merchant claims that home air purifiers not only remove particulate matter from the air, filter pollutants and odors, but also improve the cleanliness of indoor air.
And in some cases, such as living in cities with high levels of air pollution, people with allergies or respiratory diseases, or in certain seasons or environments, home air purifiers may play a role in improving indoor air quality and protecting health.
So, over the years, more and more families have bought air purifiers. However, many people who have come here feel that the air quality has not improved significantly, and the cost of consumables is huge!
For example, the filter element needs to be replaced every six months, and the ** of the filter element is about 1 3 of the purifier. Don't change? Instead of purifying the air, the purifier pollutes it.
The key point 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 complete odorlessness. No wonder many netizens on the Internet complain that air purifiers are IQ taxes.
04 Water purifier.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to household drinking water hygiene. Therefore, many people will install water treatment equipment in their houses.
In fact, the ** of the water purifier is not high, like the water purifier in the kitchen, and the water purifier of the big brand is only one or two thousand yuan, which is acceptable in the eyes of most people. However, in order to ensure the quality of the water, the filter must be changed regularly. For example, activated carbon, polypropylene cotton, RO, etc.
Some people think that it is very cost-effective to buy a pure water for more than 2,000 yuan. However, after use, it was found that the water purifier also needed to replace the filter element.
For example, the author's home handles a **: more than 2,000 yuan, including a three-year filter element. Pretty amazing, isn't it? If you reissue **, it is even more amazing: the pre-filter element is changed every six months, about 500 yuan each time; The main filter element and the post-filter element are replaced once a year, about 1,000 yuan each time - calculated, it will take about 2,000 yuan a year.
But later I learned that there is actually a trick to changing the filter element of the water purifier:
You don't have to change it regularly according to the instructions, bring your own TDS test test. After filtration, the TDS is above or close to 50 ppm before it needs to be replaced. The worse the local water quality and the greater the water consumption, the more frequent the replacement.
05 Zero cold water gas water heater.
The so-called 0 cold water means that as long as you turn on the faucet, you can get hot water, and you don't need to rinse it with cold water. And this is also its biggest selling point.
If the water heater in your home doesn't have this function, then every time you turn on the faucet or shower, you have to wait more than ten seconds, or more than thirty seconds, to use the hot water.
Therefore, many users will choose to use zero cold water heaters when using hot water.
The principle of zero cold water is to let the water heater heat all the time, and through the water pump, ensure that the hot water always fills the pipe. This means that whether we use water or not, the gas water heater will always be in working condition! The consumption of natural gas will increase significantly.
The role of a zero-chilled gas water heater is to "reduce waiting time and improve quality of life", not to "save money". Therefore, many users who have used it will inevitably complain that the cost of using waterless hot water will increase by at least 300-500 yuan per month. So users who buy zero cold water in order to save on water bills will definitely be disappointed.
06 Smart TV.
Speaking of "pit dad home appliances", I believe many people will vote for smart TVs. Not to mention spending money to buy TV, you have to spend money everywhere to buy it and watch TV at home.
For example, it's not enough to open a *** member, and different film sources also need different ** members. Even so, it is still facing all kinds of advertising bombardment and advanced on-demand.
In other words, buying a smart TV is equivalent to turning yourself into an "ATM" of a TV manufacturer.
Nowadays, that's just it, and all kinds of software on TVs are still being upgraded. No matter how high-end TV we buy, it will be like a mobile phone, and it will be stuck in a few years.
So if you're going to buy a TV: don't pay too much attention to smart parameters, just make the screen easy to use. As for the intelligent function, it can be achieved by installing a TV box. There are few ads, few members, and you can change it every two years. Two or three hundred yuan a box, not distressed at all.
Write at the end. I don't know if you have noticed that the above types of household appliances have one thing in common: they can indeed improve some quality of life. On the other hand, though, our lives haven't been affected too much.
Therefore, this kind of household appliances are not necessary to be used in daily life, and you must think about it before you can buy it!
