For major appliances, everyone will be extra cautious when purchasing. After all, major appliances mean big expenses, and they are durable goodsTherefore, whether the purchase is appropriate is not only related to the input cost, but also related to the use experience。Especially"Air conditioning".As an indispensable household appliance in the family, it should be paid more attention.
However, in the face of the dazzling models and brands on the market, it does make many people step on the pit. In this issue, Andy will share it with you,Which air conditioners are on the verge of being eliminatedIf you buy an air conditioner, it's best to avoid it.
I believe that few people have done a survey, the current mainstream air conditioner in the market, in the sales proportion of each refrigeration capacity, one horse and one horse air conditioner is the lowest proportion. According to the information obtained by Andy from the third-party home appliance sales data statistics platform, one horse, especially the small one, air conditioner is gradually fading out of countless Chinese families.
The mainstream air conditioning refrigeration capacity, in turn"The Bigger One", "15 horses" and "2 horses".in order. In fact, it is not difficult to see from this point"One horse" and "small horse" air conditioners have been difficult to meet the needs of home life.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is mainly because today's popular houses, even small bedrooms, are more than 10 in size. The refrigeration capacity of the air conditioner is only 2350W, and the refrigeration capacity of the air conditioner is only 2500W, although it can also meet the basic refrigeration needs (the refrigeration area of the two is generally below the manufacturer's standard of 12), but it is undeniable that it is in"Refrigeration efficiency"., there is a disadvantage.
On the other hand, the larger one and 15 hp air conditioner, installed in more than 10 square meters of bedroomsIt is possible to bring the room temperature to the set temperature in less time.
Install air conditioning, the picture is a cool! Cool fast! ”
This is the main reason why the "small refrigeration" air conditioner has gradually fallen off the altar.
Regarding the essential difference between fixed-frequency air conditioners and inverter air conditioners, Andy has shared many times in previous topics. And the difference between the two user experience is naturally not a little bit.
It is undeniable that fixed-frequency air conditioners do have some irreplaceable advantages:
Low cost; Low damage rate; Low maintenance costs
But the reason why fixed-frequency air conditioners are rare is, in the final analysis, because it has some shortcomings, which are also obvious to all.
High energy consumption(Fixed-frequency air conditioners are generally level 5 energy efficiency, which is much higher than that of first-class and second-level inverter air conditioners in terms of power consumption);
Loud noise(Because the compressor speed of the fixed-frequency air conditioner is constant, it does not have the ability to run at low power, so it will continue to "start and stop" with the change of room temperature during operation, so the noise is much higher than that of the inverter air conditioner);
Less comfortable(This is a recognized disadvantage of fixed-frequency air conditioners.) It is also because of the principle of fixed frequency, which makes its air outlet comfort far inferior to that of inverter air conditioner).
It is precisely because of the above shortcomings that the fixed frequency is gradually eliminated by the times. (Of course, the elimination of fixed frequency is also indispensable to the promotion ...... air conditioning manufacturers.)）
Putting aside the fixed-frequency air conditioner with level 5 energy efficiency, the attentive person will find outThere are also very few households that have installed Level 3 and Level 4 energy efficiency. On the other hand, the first-level energy efficiency and the second-level energy efficiency are the mainstream air conditioners in the real market.
It must be admitted that the input cost of inverter air conditioners with first-class energy efficiency and second-level energy efficiency is higher. Even if it is high, there are still many people who are invested. In the final analysis, it is because the energy efficiency level is high, which is directly linked to the "cost of use".
As the main parameter to measure the power consumption of air conditioners, the energy efficiency level has always been the most concerned by users, after all, there is a significant difference between 5 degrees and 10 degrees of electricity consumption in one night. In addition, air conditioners are the most frequently used appliances in summer and have the longest use cycle, so most families will try their best to choose first-level energy efficiency and second-level energy efficiency.
By the way, it is mentioned here that the power consumption of air conditioners with the same first-class energy efficiency is also different, which depends on the "annual energy consumption efficiency" index on the energy efficiency label. The greater the energy consumption efficiency index throughout the year, the more energy-efficient the air conditioner will be.
In the previous shared topic, some fans left a message saying that the air duct machine is more worthy of installation than the vertical air conditioner. As a home appliance evaluator, Andy's point of view is still very clear:
Vertical air conditioners are more worthy of installation than duct machines.
This is because the air duct machine, in essence, is actually a one-to-one ** air conditioner, which is also equivalent to a hidden cabinet machine. So it has both the advantages and disadvantages of both"The advantages are not good enough, but the disadvantages can be magnified."
The air duct machine needs to be installed on the ceiling, which further increases the decoration cost ("inheriting" the characteristics of the air conditioner);
The later maintenance and repair of the air duct machine are more troublesome (same as above);
There is no advantage in the duct machine** (compared to vertical air conditioner).
From the perspective of the above shortcomings, it is obvious that the air duct machine has some nondescript, which also makes its situation more and more embarrassing, and it is foreseeable that the air duct machine will gradually fade out of countless families. (Choose more directly from the budget.)
Second, one to three ** air conditioning, the budget is small, the living room is vertical, and the bedroom is wall-mounted).
Do you think that in the air conditioning market, there are only common brands such as Gree, Hisense, Midea, TCL and Oaks?
In fact, in China's air conditioning market,There are hundreds of brands, large and smallIt's just that some air conditioners are mainly in the commercial field, so they can rarely be seen and heard in the home improvement scene. And there are also some miscellaneous and niche air conditioners that have begun to enter the field of home improvement.
Admittedly, not the first echelon of air conditioning,There is a big gap between it and mainstream brands in terms of quality and service of air conditioners. Therefore, when purchasing, you should think carefully.
In particular, "inverter air conditioning", although it has advantages over fixed-frequency air conditioners in terms of comfort and energy consumption, but the "high damage rate" and "high maintenance cost" of inverter air conditioners have always been criticized by many people.
