The "herd effect", also known as the "herd effect", is about a scattered flock of sheep that blindly follows the leader, regardless of whether there is danger in front of them.
The psychology book "The Rabble" analyzes this herd mentality because most people are too lazy to judge and analyze, and mistakenly think that what is sought after by the public is good.
This phenomenon is the most suitable for the "decoration industry", however, whenever a product is "blown to the sky", there are countless people who blindly follow the trend, but after the experience, they find that they have paid the "IQ tax".
The road of life should be experienced with heart, not to follow the crowd and follow the herd.
The same is true for the road of decoration, do not blindly follow the trend.
In this issue, I will share with you 5 kitchen appliances that were once highly sought after, but now they have become a laughing stock, and see who dares to follow the trend!
Among the many kitchen appliances, I think the most representative "follow-up appliances" are none other than "zero cold water heaters".
Many families in the winter, have experienced the embarrassing situation of waiting for half a day to open the faucet, so this water heater just went on the market, when the concept of "zero cold water" was launched, it quickly became popular in the market and was sought after by the majority of decorators.
However, it didn't take long for this once-popular kitchen appliance to quickly become a laughing stock.
It does solve the problem of hot water in one second, but it ignores the high "gas bill" that users need to pay, which is equivalent to turning on a "radiator" at home.
The reason why I say this is that we need to first talk about the working principle of the zero cold water water heater.
In fact, its principle is also very easy to understand, to put it simply, it is nothing more than to keep the water heater on all times, so as to ensure that the water in the water pipe is also hot water, so as to achieve "hot water in one second".
But in this way, it will cause the water heater to be heated for a long time, whether you use it or not.
Some people say that the water heater has a "timing" function, which can set the time at home and work and turn on the water heater in advance, which can indeed save some costs.
However, it is impossible for each person's daily washing time to be accurate to the minute, and in order to achieve zero cold water, the timing time must be at least calculated by the hour, that is, the gas consumption of two hours a day, which is not a small expenditure in terms of the living standard of ordinary families.
The cost of this gas bill is really not worth mentioning compared to the little water bill wasted!
Therefore, I think that the zero cold water heater is really not suitable for ordinary families, not only is it expensive, but the improvement of happiness is also very limited. [Except, of course, local tyrant families].
Recommendations for water heater coco:
To install a water heater at home, you can choose a water heater with a relative capacity according to the population, and there is no need to install any zero cold water.
If you want to achieve the effect of hot water in one second, you can try to install a small kitchen treasure under the sink, which can also achieve this function, and there is no need to spend so much money to buy a "zero cold water" water heater.
The pre-filter, water purifier, and line pipe machine are known as the "water purification three-piece set", and they are still kitchen appliances that are sought after by many people until now.
Looking at this trend, it is almost becoming a "decoration standard", but is this really the case? I think the so-called "water purification three-piece set" is just a kind of "fast sales" launched by merchants.
Now the water in the city is already very clean, just use the most basic "three-piece set".
This sentence is what I have heard from countless water purifier merchants, but I don't know that the "three-piece suit" they recommend is not water, but your "IQ".
Let's start with the pre-filter.
Many businesses say that it costs 200-300 yuan to install an automatic flushing pre-filter, and there is no need to change the filter element for a lifetime, and it will not cause secondary pollution.
Hearing them say this, I seem to have heard a big joke, even a few thousand yuan PO reverse osmosis water purifier needs to change the filter element every year, let alone a pre-filter of hundreds of yuan.
There are also many "big smart" people who say that the pre-filtered filter can be removed and flushed, but they don't know that there will be water leakage when they are removed and then pressed back.
* Water purifier. * Water purifiers can indeed purify water quality, but you must know that **water purification** itself is very expensive, and the cost of replacing the filter element is also very expensive.
Some brands have even designed special filter cartridges, and a filter cartridge costs hundreds, which is really not consumed by ordinary people.
Conduit machine. 
To put it bluntly, the line pipe machine is a water outlet that can be heated, and there is no problem in itself, but its biggest problem is that the line pipe at this distance from the water purifier to the line pipe machine is easy to breed bacteria and is not easy to clean after a long time.
Recommendations for water purifier coco:
But as long as you have a little independent thinking to understand the principle of the water purifier and do not blindly follow the trend, you will not hesitate to choose the "big white bottle".
The "big white bottle" is actually a simple kitchen water purifier, and there are 4 filter elements in the conventional water purifier, and each filter element is equivalent to a "big white bottle".
Its filtration accuracy is 1 micron, which is equivalent to the effect of installing 30 backwash pre-filters, and only needs to replace the filter element twice a year, and it can cost tens of yuan each time.
The reason why few people know about the "big white bottle" is because its ** is too transparent, the profit is too low, and many merchants don't want you to know.
I don't know when the Japanese-style multi-eye stove suddenly became "popular", and many Internet celebrity bloggers praised its appearance, making countless people blindly follow the trend.
As everyone knows, those who have really experienced it know that this kind of multi-eye stove was "more touted" at the beginning, and now it has "more slaps in the face" when it is used.
At the beginning, when my home was renovated, my brain was hot, and I bought a three-eye stove with the trend, but now I am really "slapped in the face", if it wasn't for the reluctance to throw it because of the **expensive, I would have replaced it a long time ago.
First of all, this stove is really good-looking, but the most unacceptable thing for me is that I can't put three pots down at the same time. Many well-known Chinese woks are generally between 30-40cm, and even soup pots are basically around 26cm.
However, this kind of multi-eyed stove can only use pots and pans smaller than 24cm, so basically the middle stove has been idle.
In fact, even if it is idle, it is not worth me to complain, what makes me complain is that it is not only idle, but also increases the difficulty of cleaning, even if the middle is not used, every time I have to wipe the oil stains on the top, it is really collapsed.
Recommendations for cooktop coco:
For the stove, personal advice, don't just pursue the appearance and blindly follow the trend, choose a concentrating frame, full copper fire cover, full air intake, vitality greater than 45kw, high thermal efficiency, and first-class energy efficiency are enough.
Following the side range hood and integrated stove, in order to sell higher and cut more "leeks", the merchant has launched an integrated cooking system.
Indeed, judging from the surface data, this ** integrated cooking system is indeed very tall, known as the upgraded version of the integrated stove, the machine itself is embedded, there is no sanitary dead end, and the linkage design of the smoke machine stove is realized, which sounds very exciting.
However, you must know that for a place like the kitchen with a lot of smoke and a lot of water, the more integrated the electrical appliances, the more complex the electronic functions, the easier it is to be damaged, and it is expensive and troublesome to repair once there is a failure.
Recommendations for range hood coco:
The choice of range hood should not just look at the data to blindly follow the trend, only need to choose the top suction, appropriate exhaust air volume, suitable air pressure, grease separation degree of more than 90, silent no more than 69 decibels, other bells and whistles can be seen or not.
Embedded household appliances can be said to have been blown into the sky and sought after by countless people, but now they have been "reduced to a laughing stock".
The built-in small household appliances look really beautiful and tidy, making the originally messy kitchen more tidy, and it is exciting at first glance.
Even when I was decorating my home, I was all designing built-in small household appliances with a hot mind, but now I have been "slapped in the face".
What makes me angry is that it is not that the built-in small household appliances are not easy to use, but that the built-in small household appliances designed at the beginning are broken and cannot be replaced to the right size, and the popular models have long been out of production.
* The size of small household appliances either can't be put in, or it's too small to achieve the embedded effect, which is really too "slap in the face".
Recommendations for small household appliance storage coco:
For the storage of small household appliances, it is indeed a headache in the kitchen, in comparison, I replaced the "drawer" storage method, which is convenient to use, and even if the small household appliances are replaced in the later stage, it will not have any impact.
Summary at the end of the article:
On the road of decoration, I never want you to be blindly following the trend, I hope you can have your own subjective judgment, choose what suits you, that is the best.
