When a friend came to my house a few days ago, he laughed at my old drying rack for being too ugly, and said that now only rental houses use this kind of drying rack. Although I was a little unhappy, the benefits of old-fashioned drying racks are only understood by those who have used them, and I am a pragmatist, and I will use whatever is practical.
When I first renovated the house, I also installed an electric drying rack, and I didn't think it was easy to use, but I found it very troublesome. After a year of use, I switched back to the old clothes drying rack. Because some of the disadvantages of electric drying racks are unbearable for me.
Disadvantages of electric drying racks:
First, the price is expensive
The electric drying rack I installed has a lot of functions, and the installation fee is more than 1,000 yuan, which is really too expensive. This price alone can put a lot of people off.
Second, it is easy to break
Electric drying racks have more functions, complex circuits, and the more complex things are, the easier they are to break. Every time, I have to ask someone to repair it, which is very troublesome. Some parts are broken, and it costs seventy or eighty yuan to replace them once.
Third, the function of chicken ribs
Electric drying racks have various functions such as lighting, voice, and air drying, but they are rarely used in ordinary times, and they have become decorations. The electric drying rack is not fully automatic, and we still have to hang our own clothes. If there is a power outage or malfunction, you still have to hang it with a clothes pole.
I haven't used it for a year since I bought it, I feel that it can't be dried, the hot wind on the balcony has blown away, and the clothes are dried as if they were not dry. In addition, the clothes are unevenly dried and can't rise, which is sometimes the case in my house.
Why did I switch back to an old-fashioned drying rack? Because an old-fashioned drying rack is more practical.
Advantages of old-fashioned drying racks
First, the price is cheap
The old-fashioned drying rack on my balcony has two stainless steel pipes, which cost more than 100 yuan, which is very cheap. The installation was simple and fast, and it was installed by myself at that time, which saved labor costs.
Second, durable
Old-fashioned drying racks basically won't break or rust, and they will be fine for decades. I like the old-fashioned drying rack with two stainless steel bars, and I can squeeze my clothes if I want to, they are durable and comfortable to look at.
3. Save electricity costs
Old-fashioned drying racks are all purely manual drying of clothes, and you can also exercise your body. There is no need for a little electricity bill, which is really too much money-saving.
Electric drying racks are IQ taxes, flashy things. The old-fashioned drying rack saves money and is practical, and there are not many dryers that need to be hung to dry, and I still choose to use the old-fashioned drying rack when I decorate the house in the future.
