Near the Spring Festival, many families will plan to clean up, just this year we also experienced a lot of cleaning appliances, and as you can see, now there are more and more types of cleaning appliances, there are handheld washing machines, self-cleaning sweepers without hands, according to the function of the mite removal, sterilization and disinfection ...
What is the difference between them? Is it useful? Is it right for you? I believe that these are the most entangled problems before everyone places an order, in order to avoid "meat pain when buying", "eat ash after buying", we will combine the previous product evaluation and their own experience to talk about the choice of home cleaning products.
Choose a sweeper to pay more attention to the basic functions
When it comes to the most popular household cleaning appliances, it is undoubtedly the washing machine, and if you want to say that the cleaning appliances that are most likely to enter each home after the washing machine, I think it will be the sweeper.
Why is it a sweeper and not a vacuum cleaner, after all, the latter appeared earlier and people are very familiar with it. However, because of the early consumption concept of mainland families, the acceptance of vacuum cleaners is not high, and later with the upgrading of consumption, sweepers are rising almost at the same time, which forms a direct leap into the stage of sweeper popularization.
With the price threshold getting lower and lower, if you want to buy a cleaning appliance that is hands-free, easy to use and has a certain cleaning power, then the sweeper is the best choice. The price is about 2,000 yuan is enough, especially for young office workers who don't have time to clean.
For example, this Mijia sweeping and dragging robot 2, compared with the first generation of upgraded laser obstacle avoidance system and 2800Pa suction, new high-frequency sonic vibration mopping and other functions, the price of 1599 yuan, can be used as an entry choice.
Note that the above is just getting started. If you pay a little attention to the current sweeper market, you will find that related products are also accelerating iteration, which directly leads to the "price drop" of sweepers. At the beginning of 2020, the 2,000 yuan price segment product has only just achieved laser navigation scale, and now with a little money, you can buy a self-cleaning sweeper.
Considering that the replacement cycle of home appliances itself is long, if there is a higher budget, then you can also consider a one-step self-cleaning sweeper. Judging from the current popular self-cleaning sweeping robots, it can be roughly divided into two categories, one is mainly automatic cleaning of the mop, and the other is automatic dust collection. They are all designed to solve the pain points of the sweeping robot: cleaning the dust box, cleaning the mop.
In the past year, we have evaluated a number of this type of products, including Stone G10, Coworth Dibao X1 OMNI, Cloud Whale J2, etc., in terms of price, Cobos Dibao X1 OMNI> Cloud Whale J2 > Stone G10, the specific functions are slightly different, but each also has advantages and disadvantages. Through the following analysis, you should know how to choose a self-cleaning sweeper.
Cobos Dibao X1 OMNI
Reference price: 5999 yuan
Advantages: At the same time, it has two functions: automatic dust collection and automatic washing of mop cloth
Disadvantages: the price is higher, the noise is noisy when collecting dust, and the V-type roller brush is easy to wind around the hair
Referral Index: ★
Judging from our previous evaluation, the high price of Coworth Dibao X1 OMNI is higher in its base function, covering automatic dust collection and automatic washing of mop, but the use experience can not match the price, especially in the most basic obstacle avoidance and cleaning power and the actual gap with the 2000 yuan level product is not large.
Cloud Whale J2
Reference price: 4599 yuan
Advantages: Automatic addition of cleaning agent, sweeping and dragging separation
Disadvantages: Carpet cannot be automatically recognized when mopping the floor, and the base is drying slowly
Referral Index: ★★
Cloud Whale J2 is a new product that has recently been listed, two generations of Cloud Whale products we have done in-depth experience, J2 compared to J1 is still an improvement, but there are still navigation and obstacle avoidance problems. Because the internal water tank of the sweeper is cancelled, the working mode is to sweep once and drag again, avoiding the problem of more and more dirty dragging, but it takes a long time and requires manual intervention.
Stone G10
Reference price: 3999 yuan
Advantages: The mop is clean thoroughly, and the electronically controlled water tank is automatically replenished
Disadvantages: no hot air drying
Referral Index: ★★★★
We believe that self-cleaning sweeping and dragging robots, whether it is automatic dust collection or automatic cleaning of mop, should be the icing on the cake on the basis of sweeping and dragging, and cannot be put before the horse.
From this point of view, the cleaning effect of the stone G10 itself, intelligent obstacle avoidance, carpet recognition and other functions are satisfactory. As a supplement to the self-cleaning function of the mop, the original washing and brushing method of the stone G10 also achieves the purpose of real cleaning the mop.
As for which is better, automatic dust collection and automatic cleaning of the mop, it is still based on their own needs. If the home is not a situation where there is a lot of solid garbage such as dust, hair, and paper scraps, I think it should be more important to automatically wash the mop. Its biggest advantage is to eliminate the pain point of washing the mop by yourself, and you only need to manually add water to the water tank, which is indeed called the gospel of lazy people.
Vacuum cleaner or scrubber?
It is not difficult to see that the sweeper to achieve a price of three or four thousand yuan upwards, only to add a self-cleaning road, it is also aimed at the high-end market, from its own cleaning power, and does not contain a self-cleaning base of the product is not much difference. Therefore, compared with self-cleaning, if you pay more attention to cleaning power, the vacuum cleaner may be just needed.
If the sweeper is developing in the direction of becoming lazier and lazier, then the vacuum cleaner is another two directions: one is more suction heads, more scenes; the other is a cleaner with stronger cleaning power, suction and drag washing. The former is represented by Dyson and Chao, while the latter is represented by Tim and Stone.
Dyson such multi-suction head vacuum cleaner products appeared earlier, the use of scenarios and functions are more familiar to everyone, because of the length of the relationship will not be repeated, here mainly about the more popular scrubbing machine products that began to be more and more popular last year.
The reason why the scrubber is also one of the development paths of the vacuum cleaner, this is mainly because of the core features of its suction sweeping and dragging integration, simply put, a scrubber is about equal to the vacuum cleaner + sweeper + tractor, and its use is also similar to dyson's handheld wireless form.
Unlike vacuum cleaners and sweepers, the advantage of the scrubber is that it does not care about dry garbage and wet garbage, all of which have passed once. Because it has a wet and dry fan, it can suck away the dry and wet garbage on the ground, and the high-speed rotating roller brush can play a role in sweeping away the garbage and sweeping the drag at the same time. In this process, the roller brush will also achieve a self-cleaning effect under the action of continuous spraying water and fan, which means that you do not have to wash the rag yourself.
Wireless scrubbers are naturally more rechargeable batteries than wired. The battery life can usually reach half an hour, and for the average family, a full charge of the whole house is enough to use it once. According to the long-term experience of eating ash in my home wired vacuum cleaner, it is strongly recommended to buy wireless wireless.
Tim Kefuwan 2.0 LED version (priced at 3590 yuan)
At present, the price of mainstream wireless scrubbers is 3000 ~ 4000 yuan, and their fan suction, self-cleaning effect and cleaning ability may not be much different, and what needs to be paid attention to is actually some details that affect the experience.
Take the Tim Kefuwan 2.0 and stone U10 that we have evaluated as an example, the double roller brush structure of the stone U10 makes the distribution of the push and pull assist more balanced, whether it is pushed forward or pushed and pulled repeatedly before and after, there is no need to use their own force, the arm can be gently supported, and the waist is also quite friendly.
Tim Kefuwan 2.0 emphasizes the traction of the roller brush and increases the forward thrust, but there is a feeling of being forcibly pulled in actual use, and the experience is not friendly. In addition, compared to the Stone U10, Tim Kefuwan 2.0 also has an app interconnection function that is better than nothing.
In addition, there is one place that is easy to overlook when choosing a scrubber, and that is the noise. The power of the scrubbing machine is generally 220W ~ 250W, and the sound is larger when working, about 70 ~ 80 decibels.
On the whole, in terms of depth and timely cleaning ability, the scrubber is better than the vacuum cleaner and the sweeper, and it is also more suitable for multi-member families, such as children, pets, etc., and the requirements for deep ground cleaning are higher. But the vacuum cleaner can clean the bed, curtains, etc. by changing the brush head, and the two are not completely replaced.
Stone U10 (price 3499 yuan)
The utilization rate and consumable cost cannot be ignored
It is precisely because of this that there are many derivative types between vacuum cleaners, scrubbers, and sweepers, such as handheld mite removal instruments and handheld tractors. Buying such products is usually for two reasons, one is that the use of deep and comprehensive cleaning is not very demanding, only some functions are needed; the other is that the price is relatively cheaper.
However, from my own experience of hand-held mite removers and tractors, the probability of buying such products at home to eat ash is also higher, especially for "lazy people".
Take me as an example, after buying a mite remover and using it once, I have not used it a second time so far, in addition to the need to do it myself, the cleaning problem of the mite mite can be more headache than the dust box of the sweeper, because the basics of the suction are powder, it is easy to cause secondary pollution, I don't want to experience it again.
Holding a mite remover is not as easy as you might think
The same is true for the mower, because it is not as powerful as the scrubber, or it still needs to be dragged back and forth by itself. If you can mop the floor by yourself, then the electric does not exist, both want to deeply clean and save effort, or choose the scrubber, and lazy people, or honest sweeper.
Finally, after purchasing home appliances, we must also consider the long-term cost of use. The most typical is the accessories of the sweeper, at present I have replaced the home sweeper with side brushes, filters, main brushes, mop, etc., costing 200 to 300 yuan, if the frequency of use is higher, according to the manufacturer's recommended quarterly or semi-annual strength replacement, the annual use cost is about 300 yuan, it is acceptable.
The brush head of the scrubber, the vacuum cleaner filter, etc. also need to be replaced regularly. There is also a self-cleaning sweeper, one thing I did not mention earlier, that is, the dust bag.
Because different sweepers must use the corresponding special dust bags, no matter which brand, the price of a single original factory dust bag is about 30 yuan, the sub-factory is also about 10 yuan, and the dust bag is a disposable product, and the cost of use is not low. This is currently the most controversial place for automatic dust collection, and it is also the reason why I don't recommend it much.
Well, today we basically list the advantages and disadvantages of the current popular lazy cleaning products for everyone, and you will find that cleaning home appliances have passed the early stage of barbaric growth and begun to compete in more in-depth technology and product experience. But everyone should also look at it more rationally when buying, even if you are willing to spend more money to buy more expensive products, it ultimately depends on demand.
