You buy and I recommend, I buy and I don't buy.
This has become a true portrayal of the integrated stove: people who have used it say that it is good, but few people actually buy it. On the other hand, in foreign kitchens, especially in Europe, the situation is the opposite: there can be no cabinets, but there must be an integrated stove.
Why is it that no one buys the popular integrated stove in China?
#01. Functional redundancy
I have used the current integrated stove, but I just want to say that "it is not localized enough". Because Chinese food uses integrated stoves, it often faces two problems:
(1) The existing functions are not easy to use, whether it is the range hood part or the gas stove part, it is not suitable for Chinese food. For example, the range hood needs to be extended forward, resulting in insufficient height above the gas stove. If you meet a chef who needs to flip the spoon, you can't do it at all. There is not enough space on the stove of the gas stove, and a slightly larger steamer cannot fit it.
(2) Too many functions are not used, for example, the integrated stove will generally integrate a large kitchen appliance. Dishwashers, sterilizers, or steam ovens are common, but either one is not necessary for a Chinese kitchen. I bought an integrated stove, but you forced me to give me a kitchen appliance that I didn't need, of course I didn't want to buy it.
#02. The price is high
It's okay to have many functions, and domestic consumers are not products that can't be seen with multiple functions. For example, the washer-dryer, although the drying function is widely criticized, does not affect its sales increasing year by year - if you give me a drying function without increasing the price, even if it is not very easy to use, I am very happy.
At the same price, you can buy a washing machine or a washer-dryer, and naturally many people will choose the latter. But that's not the case with integrated stoves:
First of all, its large kitchen appliances are not particularly easy to use, at least not as good as independent embedded large kitchen appliances. There will be problems such as troublesome maintenance, few functions, old technology, small capacity, etc., and the price is particularly high.
It costs two or three thousand yuan to buy a single set of smoke stoves, and it costs more than 10,000 yuan to replace them with integrated stoves. This price is a bit too much.
#03. Cumbersome installation
At this time, you can take a look at what foreign integrated stoves are like▽
If you look closely, you'll find a strange point: there is no range hood on this integrated stove! In fact, Western food produces very little oil smoke, so some kitchens will not have a range hood.
The biggest advantage of not installing a range hood is that it is easy to install and can be embedded directly in the cabinet. Chinese food is inseparable from range hoods, so there will be no such integrated stoves without hoods. Then the question arises:
The range hood of the integrated stove is exhaust smoke from the bottom, and the reserved hole on the public flue needs to be blocked during installation, and then the hole is re-opened under the flue. This is not only troublesome to operate, but also destroys the cabinet during operation.
Therefore, the installation of integrated stoves in the later stage of China requires users to have great courage and be prepared to "renovate the kitchen after installation". Therefore, the embarrassment of "affordable" makes many users shy away from integrated stoves.
#00.A product that is more suitable for Chinese people
Having said all this, in fact, Xiao Yuan did not completely deny the integrated stove. Just expressing the fact that the current integrated stove is not good enough, and if you want to enter thousands of households, you need to continue to upgrade the product.
Is there a product that is more suitable for Chinese people than an integrated stove and is better than a traditional smoke stove?
I. Smoke stove set • To put it bluntly, it is still a range hood and a gas stove, but there will be some linkage functions between them. For example, when you turn on the gas stove, you will automatically turn on the range hood, and when you turn off the gas stove, you will automatically delay the turn off of the range hood.
At the same time, the appearance is more uniform, and it will be more beautiful in the kitchen. The key price is not more expensive than buying a range hood and a gas stove separately, and even because it is a set purchase, it is cheaper.
II. Split integrated stove is a kind of integrated stove, and the range hood part is also a side suction lower exhaust type, and the smoke exhaust effect is the same as that of the integrated stove. But it doesn't have the chicken ribs of the integrated kitchen appliance below, and the cost performance is much higher.
The installation is not so cumbersome, although it is still the lower exhaust smoke and needs to be punched in the flue. But because there is no kitchen electric shield underneath, it will be easier to construct and the damage to the cabinet will be less.
