There is a phenomenon of consumption that is becoming more and more common, that is, young people tend to be luxurious in consumption, and they seem to be less concerned about the price of goods, and if they are not careful, they will become victims of excessive consumption. Especially in terms of home appliance purchases, although products such as water heaters and dishwashers may be worth investing in high-end models, there are three types of home appliances that do not actually need expensive brands, and choose cost-effective basic models, worth one or two thousand yuan to meet daily needs.
First, let's talk about water purifiers. This equipment is not necessary for households, except for those with additional requirements for drinking water quality. The core component of the water purifier is the filter element, so when purchasing, you should focus on the material of the filter element, such as ultrafiltration membrane, RP reverse osmosis membrane, PP cotton, activated carbon mesh, etc., as long as the material is reliable, the water purification performance is basically the same. The high-priced water purifiers on the market often make a big fuss about the brand and design, so the price rises. The reasonable choice is to ignore the appearance and non-core functions, focus on the quality of the filter element, and choose a practical model of about 1,000 yuan.
The second is the washing machine, which has become an indispensable appliance in modern homes. However, many brands in the market use flashy features to confuse consumers and sell concepts at high prices. For example, some high-end drum washing machines have a variety of functions such as sterilization, odor removal, air washing, and wrinkle-free cleaning, which is obviously excess for the average family. Products such as dryers are often weak and practicable, and are not worth the investment. A simple, practical, and cost-effective washing machine can meet the needs of everyday life, without the need for complicated functions. Therefore, choosing a cost-effective washing machine is about one or two thousand yuan.
Looking at the range hood, for those who don't cook often, it may be an unnecessary expense at all, but for cooking enthusiasts, the range hood is an important assistant to ensure that the kitchen is clean. Industry insiders know that the essence of the range hood is a fan and a shell, and the key is that it can effectively absorb oil smoke. Those range hoods with surprisingly high prices are actually caused by fancy additional technologies and brand premiums, such as high-speed centrifugal purification, dual purification systems, etc., which are not absolutely necessary functions.
What's more, some range hoods of three or four thousand yuan on the market are expensive to clean, and frequent service several times is almost equivalent to buying a new machine. Wise consumers should choose a range hood with good exhaust effect, and the price range of about one or two thousand yuan is sufficient.
Final piece of advice: when it comes to investing in home appliances, you don't have to stick to expensive options, and it's often wiser to be affordable. Our hard-earned money must be put to good use, not blindly contributed to unnecessary "IQ taxes".
