Refrigerators, as common household appliances, are already a household appliance that is just needed in every household's life.Looking at the refrigerator market, there is a big difference between high and low, and the quality is also uneven. I don't know if when you buy a refrigerator, do you give priority to **, or pay more attention to quality?
Before this, Xiaodong saw that many friends on the Internet said that compared with ordinary refrigerators, the difference between high-end refrigerators and ordinary refrigerators is only "IQ tax", so is this really the case?
For the refrigerator, what is the impact of the difference on the later use? In this issue, Xiaodong will compare the refrigerators I have used at home, more than 2,000 and more than 10,000, and objectively talk about the difference between the two!
The refrigerator that my family originally bought for more than 2,000 yuan was a three-door model with a capacity of only more than 200 liters. And now I spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy this one, which is a multi-door refrigerator, with the same floor area, but the capacity is as large as 400 liters, and the space utilization rate is very high.
The main reason for analyzing the reason is that the choice of refrigerator material between the two is very different. Especially for the materials used on the insulation layer of the refrigerator, the refrigerator is more advanced. As a result, the refrigerator is thinner and lighter, and the thermal insulation performance is also better.
You must know that the kitchen at home is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and the larger the capacity of the refrigerator of the same size, it means that it can store more ingredients that need to be stored in life. Therefore, this is also a difference in capacity of different refrigerators.
Let's talk about the difference in the temperature zone of the two refrigerators, this is really a penny.
The more than 2,000 refrigerators in my house only have a refrigeration area, a freezing area, a soft freezing area, and three temperature control rooms, and the temperature control can be adjusted to only about zero degrees.
And this more than 10,000 refrigerator, in addition to the conventional refrigeration and freezing areas, also added multiple temperature zones. The range of temperature adjustment is also different, such as the vegetable room, which can be adjusted between four degrees and eight degrees below zero; The freezer compartment can be adjusted down to minus 20 degrees.
This means that vegetables, fruits, frozen foods, and even ice cream at home, no matter what kind of food you have, will have the right temperature to match it. After all, different ingredients need to be stored at different temperatures to achieve the best results.
Just imagine, if it is processed seafood, or meat and fish, which are not suitable for freezing, give them a suitable temperature to store, and the taste will be fresher.
On the other hand, in my low-cost refrigerator, these ingredients are almost all put together, and it is impossible to store them at an accurate temperature.
As we all know, the thermal insulation performance of a refrigerator mainly depends on its refrigeration method. Like the low-cost refrigerator in my house, not only has a small capacity and few temperature zones, but also the refrigeration effect is not good.
Its refrigeration method is direct cooling, although it is cheap and low-cost. However, the temperature control is poor, especially in the frozen area, and frost often forms. When the frost is severe, it freezes, and the thick layer is very distressing, and I have tried to remove the frost with a kitchen knife.
The ** refrigerator used now adopts the circulation mode of air-cooled double air duct, which not only has fast refrigeration speed and accurate temperature control, but also does not freeze. Compared with the direct cooling type, it has a good protective effect on the ingredients.
Of course, some friends will say that there are two or three thousand ** air-cooled refrigerators. However, most air-cooled refrigerators at this price use a single air duct refrigeration cycle, which has the problem that ingredients are easy to dry and have a cross-flavored taste.
When you buy an air conditioner, you often hear the saying of fixed frequency and frequency conversion. In fact, the compressor will be different for different refrigerators. **The level directly determines whether the compressor of the refrigerator is fixed frequency or frequency conversion.
The longer you use the two, the more you can experience the difference in use. Take my low-cost refrigerator as an example, because it is a fixed-frequency compressor, it will often start and stop, so there will be some noise during operation, and there will be abnormal noises from time to time after a period of time.
And this ** refrigerator, because of the inverter compressor, is very noisy when it is running, and it is not even perceptible that it is working.
In addition to this, the efficiency of the two refrigerators is also very different. For example, in terms of energy saving, the frequent start of fixed-frequency compressors is bound to consume more electricity. The inverter compressor not only saves electricity, but also keeps the temperature constant, and the food preservation effect is also good.
In terms of appearance alone, the difference between the two is even more obvious.
Like the expensive refrigerator in my house, the first time you see it in the store, it will make you feel particularly high-end. Whether it is the appearance or the natural gloss of the color, as well as every corner, it is different from the mediocre shell of a low-priced refrigerator.
This is also easy to understand, after all, high-end refrigerators still have design costs, most of which are tailored by designers. From the perspective of materials alone, the difference is obvious. The low-cost refrigerator in my house is a plastic shell with a metal panel, which is very cheap at a glance.
And now this high-end refrigerator is not only upgraded to a tempered glass panel, but also a touch switch design. It is very much in line with the aesthetic needs of me and my family, and I can't refuse at all**.
The refrigerator brand is different, and the difference in bringing ** is also obvious.
I have a deep understanding of the experience of changing the refrigerator this time. The original one is a domestic brand refrigerator, and the advantage is that it is most affordable. On the other hand, the imported brand refrigerator used now, although it is small in size and high in floor area ratio, is its advantage, but the brand premium of more than 10,000 yuan is also relatively high.
Therefore, if it is a refrigerator with the same technology and the same function, it is still not recommended that you choose an imported brand. To be honest, the technology of domestic refrigerators is not bad now, and the after-sales service can keep up. From these two points, it is obviously more cost-effective than imported refrigerators.
To sum up, judging from the experience of using two refrigerators in my house, there is still a certain reason why it is cheap and not good. But that's not to say that the more expensive the fridge, the better. In my personal experience, if you choose air-cooled inverter, dual-cycle refrigeration, and first-class energy efficiency level, you can choose a cost-effective refrigerator at a price of several thousand yuan.
