We often say: science and technology change life, dishwashers, sweeping robots, dryers three smart home appliances come out, indeed improve people's life happiness index. Dishwashers, in particular, have become one of the must-have appliances for young people to get married.
This dishwasher is a foreign product, which has been produced and used in Europe and the United States for 100 years. With the development of dishwashers today, the popularity rate in Chinese families is getting higher and higher.
However, because many people are not very familiar with this new type of electrical appliances, they will accidentally buy immature transition products. Then I found that my dishwasher was not easy to use, and as a result, thousands of hard-earned money was wasted, acting as a "guinea pig" for the development of the industry.
Don't worry, today Qijia An'an has sorted out the "eight choices and eight non-choices" purchase strategy for dishwashers, you just follow the choice, and it will not be eliminated in the next few years!
First, choose embedded or free-standing, do not choose desktop or sink type
Anyone who has ever used a dishwasher knows that if space allows, buy big or small, and the larger the capacity, the better.
Built-in or freestanding dishwashers have a larger capacity, usually more than 10 sets, and can wash not only large pots and pans, but also baking trays and even the filter of the hood.
The biggest problem of desktop and sink dishwashers is that the capacity is small, generally less than eight sets, the number of tableware that can be washed is really limited, and the pot can not be washed.
Second, look at the water efficiency label to choose a level, do not choose the low water efficiency level
Now when buying a dishwasher, only by understanding the water efficiency label can you choose a good product that truly saves energy and water, which is very important.
Because, the new "National Energy Efficiency Standard for Dishwashers" has made new provisions on the water and electricity consumption, washing performance, drying performance and other indicators of domestic dishwashers.
The national mandatory standard divides energy efficiency and water efficiency into 5 grades, with level 1 being the highest and level 5 being the lowest, and the rating involves four indicators: energy efficiency index, water efficiency index, drying index and cleaning index.
At present, only the water efficiency index, energy efficiency index, drying index and cleanliness index, all four indexes meet the first level standard, can be rated as first class water efficiency.
The dishwasher that meets the first-class water efficiency standard "has no shortcomings", so it is recommended that you look at the water efficiency label and choose the first grade, and do not choose products with too low water efficiency level.
3. The drying mode is hot air type, not condensing type
At present, there are several drying modes of dishwashers on the market, and the common ones are condensing type, hot air exchange, cold air type, hot air type, and crystal bud drying.
Among them, the worst effect is condensation drying, which uses the residual residual temperature on the dishes to evaporate the water on your body, which is equivalent to drying. Although the energy consumption is low, water beads will remain on the dishes after drying, and if they are not removed in time, bacteria will grow and even mold.
Most mainstream dishwashers use hot air drying, which is also the most cost-effective. The advantage is that there are no water droplets left inside the dishwasher, and even stainless steel dishes can be blown dry, which has a good drying effect and a sterilization effect.
In addition, some high-end models use crystal bud drying, which mainly uses crystal bud ore to absorb moisture in the air, and the rest of the gas is discharged out of the dishwasher. The representative brand is Siemens, the price is usually more than 10,000 yuan, which is not suitable for ordinary families.
Fourth, the washing mode is spray type, not vortex type
The most widely used on the market is spray washing technology, which is currently the most mature cleaning method.
The working principle of spray washing is to use super high pressure to spray out the water, and then carry out a 360° all-round strong flushing on the tableware, and carry out all-round sweeping cleaning on the oil stains on the surface of the tableware.
The working principle of vortex washing is to soak the tableware and dishes in water, and then the water flow is driven by the turbine to rotate to clean the stains, and the tableware is difficult to clean. Moreover, the energy consumption is high. Although the price is cheap, it has basically been almost eliminated. Many people think that the dishwasher is not as clean as washing by hand, and it is likely that they use a turbo dishwasher.
In addition, there is also an ultrasonic washing technology, which consumes water and electricity, is noisy, and the price is relatively high, and it is generally mostly a commercial model, which is not suitable for household use.
5. If you choose a layered washing mode, do not choose a fixed washing mode
Families with a small family population, or families who don't usually cook much, must pay attention to whether there is a layered washing mode, which is very important.
With layered washing function, it means that when you have few dishes, chopsticks and tableware, you can put it on the upper or lower layer to wash separately, and the machine will automatically turn off the corresponding upper and lower spray arms, which can help you save unnecessary water and electricity costs.
Most of the traditional dishwashers only have a fixed washing mode, that is, even if you only wash a set of dishes, the machine is also normal washing, and the upper and lower layers work at the same time, consuming water and electricity.
Sixth, choose with baby sterilization function, do not choose only ultraviolet sterilization
Especially if you have a baby at home, you must choose one with a baby sterilization function. Baby sterilization functionIt uses the principle of milk disinfection and pasteurization, using 75° high temperature disinfection for 20 minutes, which can effectively remove 99.99% of the germs on the surface of the baby's tableware. In this way, we can better protect the growth of infants and young children with low resistance.
7. If you choose to have a storage function, you should not choose one that cannot be stored
If the dishwasher does not have a storage function, it means that the dishes and chopsticks cannot be stored in the dishwasher for a long time. Every time you wash the dishes and chopsticks, you need to take them out and disinfect them separately, otherwise they will return to moisture and smell after a long time, which will be the biggest drawback in the process of your use in the future.
The biggest advantage of the storage function is that it can be used as a perfect replacement for a sterilizer. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, the storage function is activated, and the tableware is automatically air-dried and sterilized. The warehouse is automatically ventilated every 2 to 4 hours, so that the cutlery can be stored naturally for 72 hours, a full three days, and you can also save money on a sterilizer.
8. Choose a brand for dishwashers, not miscellaneous brands
Although there is a certain brand premium for brand dishwashers, technology, patents, after-sales service, etc., are beyond the reach of miscellaneous brands.
At present, household dishwashers are roughly divided into three categories: domestic, joint venture, and original import.
The representatives of domestic dishwasher brands are: Midea / Colmo, Haier / Casarte, Fotile, Boss, etc.
The representatives of joint venture dishwasher brands are: Siemens, Huiman, Bosch, etc.
The representatives of original imported brands are: Panasonic, Toshiba, Whirlpool, Miele, etc.
On the whole, at present, more than 12 sets of large-capacity dishwashers with built-in or free-standing ones can basically meet the daily dishwashing needs of most families.
