As a home appliance blogger, to be honest, I haven't seen any small household appliances that can be compared to itRice cooker, microwaveCompared with. Regardless of market share or user evaluation, compared with these two small household appliances, other categories are really weak, such as various cleaning small household appliances, such as floor scrubbers, sweeping robots, vacuum cleaners, etc.
In the final analysis, small household appliances such as cleaning are not "necessities" of life. This is also the key to why these cleaning appliances are difficult to "grow red".Especially"Robot vacuum".According to public data collected by Andy, in 2022, China's sweeping robot market, online sales will decline by 22 year-on-year58%, offline sales fell 26% year-on-year78%。This begs the questionSweeping robots, why can't they be sold? Perhaps, after reading the following 5 "reasons", you will not be surprised at all!
In fact, in the bones of the public, any cleaning appliances are not as reliable as "mops", and they are not as reliable as "mopping themselves". This may be the root cause of all clean appliances that will eventually be lonely.
Although the sweeping robot can free hands to a certain extent, its cleaning effect is very average. This is a well-established fact.
User @ also clear:
The more you drag the floor, the dirtier it gets, the tiles are full of watermarks, and the stains can't be cleaned! It's better to drag it yourself. You can't wipe the stains clean by yourself. Especially around the base station, it's a mess every time! The hands were all dirty.
User @Jelly Bean:
The cleaning liquid is also added in accordance with the official proportion, but it is not clean, and the mop is also replaced with a new one, usually at home, I use a mop first to roughly mop it and then use a sweeping robot to mop it, and the ground is very clean after taking off, and there is no dust, just one step at a time, why is this!
Similar to the above "negative evaluation", almost all sweeping robot brands are flooded. Obviously, the poor cleaning effect of sweeping robots is not an exception. And it is not unreasonable that it is not ideal for cleaning effect and is eventually abandoned by users.
If you study the development history of sweeping robots a little, you will find that this kind of small household appliance has actually been developed for a few years, although the development time is short, but it is crazy**. This is "contrary" to the laws of the market. Theoretically speaking, as a product becomes more and more popular, the relationship between supply and demand is further saturated, and the ** will be lower and lower.
However, driven by a number of manufacturers, the price of sweeping robots is getting higher and higher.
According to Andy's information disclosed from Zhongyikang data, before 2019, the average price of sweeping robots was still less than 1500 yuan, and in 2022, the average price rose directly to 3210 yuan! Optimistically, it is the "average price".
Doubling in three years, manufacturers really dare to play!
From the above data**, in fact, it is not difficult to see that the demand trend of China's sweeping robots last year has fallen to the level of 2017.
Whose fault is it? What is the fault of upstream copper, aluminum and other raw materials? Or is it the user's fault?
Anyone with a little common sense will know that this is clear that a number of manufacturers want to further harvest the IQ tax of users. **It's high, but as everyone knows, users don't buy it! This is the key to "not selling".
Sweeping robots, from the initial entry-level ordinary model, to self-dust collection, self-cleaning and self-cleaning + dust collection, are indeed getting smarter and smarter, and more and more "hands-free".
Is this really the case? Vacuum and sweep the floor, wash the mop by yourself, and dry the ...... by yourselfDo you really need to be involved? Wrong!
Even if it is a sweeping robot with four or five thousand yuan on the market, it still needs manpower to participate. CauseBecause it is really "intolerant to dirt", it is really easy to "hide dirt".
Some netizens marked the vacuum cleaner robot with several locations that need to be "manually cleaned by yourself", so counted, almost every place needs to be cleaned manually. There is no such thing as "self-cleaning" at all. At the end of the day, the manufacturer's claim of "self-cleaning" is nothing more than that"Clean the rag yourself".Nothing more. In fact, this already involves the category of false propaganda.
I thought that spending money to buy an expensive one would save me trouble, and I didn't have to worry about anything. As a result, after a period of time, you will find that the base station, cleaning bin, brush, and almost every small part need to be cleaned regularly, which is called a laborious "netizen".@青青咿呀So complained and complained.
Although sometimes the work of the sweeping robot is also smooth, most of them cannot maintain this good working state for too long. "Clean sink full", "stuck", "noise", etc., are very common problems.
Compared with other small household appliances, the damage rate of sweeping robots is very highEven small faults can affect the effectiveness of cleaning。Mainly from damage to repair, the whole cycle time is relatively long, and some need to be returned to the factory. In this way, it is completely a burden.
Because the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot is indeed not ideal, it is difficult to meet our needs for exquisite home life, so it is not surprising that it has been eliminated by users. In addition, some new cleaning appliances have been born, which can be said to have also had an impact on the market of sweeping robots.
The most prominent of these is:"Floor scrubber".。As a branch of cleaning appliances, floor scrubbers have a much shorter development history than sweeping robots. But this does not affect its dimensionality reduction attack on sweeping robots. Because the former's "deep cleaning" ability can be said to be very strong.
Because the principle of the floor scrubber is to use the high-speed rotating roller brush to form a high-strength friction with the ground, so as to achieve the effect of removing stains, and in this process, the roller brush will also be rinsedIt has a strong advantage in cleaning "heavy stains".
It is precisely because the cleaning effect of the floor scrubber is incomparable to that of the sweeping robot, so more and more families have begun to invest in the floor scrubber. Although it does not completely free your hands, it seems that "everything is worth it" when you see the cleaned floor and carpet as clean as new.
Of course, the floor scrubber also has its own shortcomings, such as empty space, poor storage, and relatively bulky and so on. However, it is undeniable that the emergence of the floor scrubber is equivalent to a halfway trip to bite the gold, which has hit the original "unstoppable" sweeping robot hard.
