Why are fewer and fewer people using drum washing machines?

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-03-02

Whether looking back at the past or looking at the present, it is undeniable that the big brother of the washing machine industry, the "wave wheel washing machine", is still selling well. And the smash hit "drum single wash" and "drum drying" seem to have fallen off the altar, just a little favor in the young man's new house.

According to the author's overall data from the volume of China's major appliance market, the annual online market share of wave washing machines is as high as 53%, and the market share under the ** is nearly 40%. This means,Whether online or offline, the washing machine is still the "leading big brother".

And the drum washing machine, even if it has the killer feature of "drum drying", still can't rush up, what is the reason behind this?

At present, the washing machines on the market in China are mainly divided into these types, namely wave wheel washing machines, drum washing machines and single and double cylinder washing machines. Among them, single and double cylinder washing machines have been basically eliminated, and the total annual sales are only one million units. Wave wheels and rollers account for the majority of the market share.

Drum washing machines, according to the division of functions, can be divided into two types: "drum single washing" and "drum drying". And drum drying is what we often refer to as "washing and drying machine". As a rising star, it has indeed gained a lot of hearts, but it is not as popular as everyone imagined.

If you tell the truth, you will know that the advantages of drum washing machines are not many.

1. You can put things on the drum washing machine (don't stick it, it's really practical).

2. The drum washing machine is more water-saving.

3. There are many modes of drum washing machine, which can meet the washing needs of down, wool and other washing.

4. Optional washing and drying machine.

Acknowledging the advantages of the roller, but also of course acknowledging its many disadvantages, such as:

1. The dehydration effect is poor (don't bar, it's really not as good as the wave wheel).

2. If you can't wash it cleanly (don't do it, if you don't believe it, you can try it with dirty socks).

3. You need to bend over when using, which is not friendly to the elderly.

4. The cost is slightly higher, and 2000 yuan is considered the entry model (2000 yuan can be selected very good).

5. The washing and drying machine is easy to step on the pit, which is either expensive or has poor drying effect.

6. The durability is far less than that of the wave wheel.

It is precisely because there are so many "slots" that more and more people find that it is better to choose a cheap drum washing machine than to invest in the best drum washing machine. After all, the latter is more practical.

Whether it is from the market data or from the reputation after the user experience, there is no doubt that the position of the washing machine is difficult to shake. The reason why the washing machine is so popular is actually very simple. People who have used a washing machine will not replace it even for a few years, which is not only a reflection of the use habit, but also a proof of durability and practicality. Let's take a look at the many advantages of a washing machine.

1. Good cleaning effect.

2. Good dehydration effect.

3. The use process is very humane, basically no need to bend over, and it is more friendly to middle-aged and elderly people.

4. Relatively cheap, within 2000 yuan, it can be done, and it can fully meet the needs of laundry.

5. Clothes are rarely wound (this is much stronger than a roller).

6. The service life is relatively long, and the maintenance rate is very low.

As the most frequently used standard home appliance in the home, the purchase of washing machines directly affects the home experience. Therefore, when purchasing, no matter how much or less the budget is, you should have basic common sense of purchasing. Next, as a person who has changed 2 washing machines, I will briefly share the guide to buying a washing machine.

1. The larger the capacity, the better

In order to be able to meet the cleaning needs of various household items, whether you choose a washing machine or a drum washing machine, you should choose a large capacity, preferably not less than 8.

2. The higher the speed, the better

Among the many parameters of the washing machine, it is necessary to know the "speed", because it is directly related to the efficiency of dewatering. Theoretically, the higher the rotational speed, the cleaner the dehydration.

3. Choose "wave wheel washing machine + independent dryer" with sufficient budget

On the premise of sufficient budget, it is recommended to choose the scheme of "wave wheel washing machine + independent dryer". Because the quality of the heat pump washer-dryer is barely reliable, it should be at least more than 5,000 yuan, which is far less suitable than choosing an independent wave wheel and dryer.

4. Miscellaneous

Appearance, branding, etc., can be determined according to your budget and preferences. By the way, the current brand market share of washing machines is sorted by how many are: Haier, Little Swan, Siemens, Panasonic, and Midea.

As one of the indispensable household appliances, many people think that the more expensive it is, the more worth investing in, but in fact, "practicality is the last word". For example, many people think that the outdated washing machine is actually the most practical. Therefore, it is recommended that when buying household appliances, considering practicality is the key, and gimmicks and appearance are just weights used by merchants to raise prices.
