In the decoration of the new house, the design of the kitchen is especially important. Especially for the choice of stove, it is very important. So whether to choose an integrated stove or a general oil smoke stove, I think this is a problem that many owners are more concerned about.
The integrated stove is a new type of kitchen appliance. Some people say that this is a good kitchenware, a good kitchenware. Others say it's a stupid act.
So, is this high-profile integrated stove good? Compared with the general oil smoke stove, what are its advantages and disadvantages? We have been using an integrated stove for more than two years, and in this issue we will talk about the real feeling of use.
First of all, tell everyone what is an integrated stove?
In practical applications, integrated stoves mainly include: countertops, stoves, disinfection cabinets, steamers, storage cabinets, smoke collection rooms, wind wheels, motors, etc.
You can think of it as a combination of devices, often a combination of 2+X. The 2 represents the fume extractor and stove, while the X represents personal choice. For example, there are integrated disinfection cabinets, drying cabinets, steamers, ovens, etc., which can be flexibly configured according to the different needs of customers to meet the needs of various families.
1. Good smoke absorption effect
As for the integrated stove, then not to mention. This is largely because its entrance is downward, so it is so close to the stove that it won't get smoke on your face.
At present, most integrated stoves on the market have a soot absorption rate of more than 95%, but compared with traditional hoods, whether it is side suction or top suction, the residence time of oil smoke in the room is too long, far less than the integrated stove. Our family has been using it for more than two years and has not been specially tested to significantly reduce the smell of soot.
2. More space-saving
I don't know if you have noticed, most of today's new houses have large living rooms and small kitchens. The same is true in my family, because our kitchen is relatively small, so how to use the space wisely is particularly important in the design. This integrated hob does not take up space on the hanger and increases the storage space of the hanger compared to conventional range hoods.
The second advantage is that it is multi-functional, and there is no need to buy various home appliances. Take me for example, it not only has a smoke machine, but also steaming, roasting, sterilization and other functions, which can not only meet the practicality, but also maximize my kitchen space.
3. High appearance and high grade
This integrated stove looks quite good. It combines the range hood and the cooktop to form a whole, so it is more beautiful in appearance and appears taller.
Especially in the kitchen, with cabinets, the overall effect will be better, and it can also improve the grade of the kitchen. Of course, everyone has their own aspirations, and the above is only Xiaodong's words.
1. The price is too expensive
This is also an important reason why integrated stoves cannot be sold. For example, on the market now, an ordinary range hood, the price is about four or five thousand yuan, it is already a very good brand. However, most of the ones bought at this price point are the lowest-end, with few functions and poor quality. As long as it has some ability, it basically costs tens of thousands of pieces.
Take this one from our family, I spent 12,000 yuan on it, and as far as I know, it is also the best-selling product in the integrated stove market. In other words, compared to the general stove, its price is too high, many consumers are reluctant to spend money on it.
2. The functional practicality is not high
As mentioned above, the integrated stove belongs to a collection of various home appliances, but the function and practicality are not very strong. Just like the most common steamer and sterilization cabinet, it does not have any steaming technology. That is to say, compared with those professional oven brand machines, the performance is definitely worse.
Secondly, because the range hood and the tube in the fuselage occupy a lot of space, the volume of the disinfection cabinet and the steamer is small, and the biggest problem is that the depth of the air intake is not enough. In addition, if there is no disinfection cabinet at home, the role of the disinfection cabinet will become very weak and cannot be transformed.
3. Maintenance is more troublesome
The integral cooker is a monolithic overall design and a collection of multi-module electrical appliances. This is also why in the later stage, if there is a problem, it is a very troublesome thing to repair and replace. One component is damaged and the entire machine is affected.
In addition, due to the complexity of the internal structure of the integrated stove, in some cases, it has to be sent to the factory for repair, which is very troublesome. Of course, most of the integrated stoves are modular and easy to maintain.
4. Have safety concerns
Because of the fear of security, many people are reluctant to buy. Most people's understanding of integrated stoves began with a generation, and at that time, it was also because the technology was not mature enough that there were several explosions. But now, with the efforts of three generations, the safety of the integrated stove has been guaranteed.
However, I would like to remind you that there are many substandard assembly devices on the market today, which are cheap but not guaranteed. I suggest that when buying an integrated stove, you must choose big brands, such as Meida, Martian, Senge, Yitian, etc., their quality and after-sales will be guaranteed.
To sum up, is the integrated stove bought or not?
First of all, no home appliance is perfect. The same applies to integrated stoves, where there are advantages and disadvantages. Whether it's worth mentioning or not, it's up to you.
I think that if it is an open kitchen, it is better to choose an integrated stove, because the integrated stove has a stronger smoke absorption capacity than the traditional hood, and it looks more classy. In addition, when the kitchen area in the home is small, you can also choose an integral stove to make more rational use of space.
That is to say, if your budget is tight and you have to consider future maintenance, then it is better for you to buy an ordinary range hood.
