When we encounter an air environment with too high humidity in our lives, the equipment and products at home will be affected by all kinds of bad effects, annoying water vapor everywhere, and it will also damage people's health and bring various problems, so people gradually begin to use dehumidifiers (also known as dehumidifiers). However, there has been a lot of negative news about dehumidifiers recently, reporting that there are serious false propaganda in the dehumidifier market, the proliferation of inferior goods, and air pollution, which has caused people to worry: is the gas emitted by the dehumidifier safe?
Here are some of the dehumidifiers I've recently reviewed:
1. Does the dehumidifier pollute the air?
As a senior home appliance evaluator, I think it is necessary to point out that many dehumidifiers have hidden risks that cannot be ignored. We can learn from various reports that there is currently a problem of proliferation of inferior products and false propaganda in the dehumidifier industry. These phenomena lead to substandard dehumidifier performance and may even have adverse effects on air quality and people's health.
This chart is based on analysis from authoritative data agencies. Through this diagram, we can clearly identify the most common problems encountered by consumers, and I have also summarized some of the issues that need special attention.
1. Inferior products threaten health: In order to gain a competitive advantage in the market, many brands have adopted the means of reducing costs. They use low-price promotions as a means, but behind this is a serious neglect of product quality, they use cheap and inferior compressors and components, these products do not perform well in terms of performance and longevity, and the potential threat to health cannot be ignored. The respiratory system, cardiopulmonary function may be badly affected by the use of these inferior products, and the problem of air pollution is a major concern.
2. Fraudulent performance and poor dehumidification effect: Merchants often use exaggerated publicity techniques to attract consumers, especially in key performance parameters such as dehumidification capacity, which makes consumers misleading. In fact, the performance of dehumidifiers is largely limited by environmental factors, but some manufacturers advertise dehumidification volumes higher than they actually perform for promotional purposes. This kind of false propaganda may lead to much lower than expected actual use results, and even cause indoor air problems, causing potential harm to all aspects.
3. Over-exaggerating performance, sub-optimal results: In order to gain an advantage in the market, some manufacturers often exaggerate the performance of their dehumidifiers. Advertising dehumidification results are often based on a specific favorable test environment, which misleads consumers into believing that the product will be used at the advertised level. However, due to the actual use environment, these products often do not perform as satisfactorily as advertised in terms of improving humidity.
4. Air pollution threat from non-professional products: Dehumidifiers that claim to purify the air often lack professional technical support. Such products may release dust and breed mold during operation, which in turn exacerbates indoor air pollution and poses a serious threat to the health of users, especially children and sensitive groups. Living in such a polluted environment for long periods of time can lead to a variety of health problems.
5. There are potential safety hazards in Internet celebrity products: The market is full of many well-known Internet celebrity dehumidifiers that lack professional support. Although these products have high sales and popularity, in reality they have many technical shortcomings. The appeal of advertising may lead many consumers to purchase these products, however, once purchased, many find that their performance and effectiveness are far less than advertised, and returns and exchanges face a series of problems. Moreover, these products may have serious safety risks, such as air pollution, circuit problems, etc., which pose potential risks to the environment and human health.
2. What characteristics of inferior dehumidifiers are particularly dangerous?
Is the dehumidifier polluting the air? Unprofessional inferior products will pollute the air during use because of their inferior workmanship and materials, and will also bring a lot of potential safety hazards, in order to help you identify these products, I have summarized the characteristics of dangerous inferior dehumidification.
Feature 1: Single-row copper tube design
In the manufacture of dehumidifiers, the single-row copper tube design occupies a place in the low-end market due to its simple structure and low cost. Although this design consumes relatively little energy, it does not perform well in terms of dehumidification efficiency and stability, and its scope is limited. Prolonged use can lead to corrosion, oxidation, and clogging of copper pipes, and improper operation or maintenance can also negatively impact performance, presenting potential safety risks.
Feature 2: Lack of overload protection
One of the drawbacks of inferior dehumidifiers is the lack of overload protection. This means that when the compressor is overloaded, the conductor may be subjected to currents that exceed its safe range. In this case, the temperature of the conductor rises above its maximum allowable operating temperature of 65°C, resulting in aging of the insulation layer and may even cause the circuit to catch fire, posing a serious safety hazard.
Feature 3: No water full protection function
Dehumidifiers that lack full water protection run the risk of not emptying the tank for a long time, causing the water level to rise and eventually overflow, causing damage to the machine's internal components. This situation can easily lead to short circuits or even motor damage, and in severe cases, it may even cause a fire.
Feature 4: Lack of automated cream design
Dehumidifiers that lack automatic defrost function are prone to frost or ice formation in the heat exchange system during operation. Frost or ice blocks the gaps between the fins, resulting in poor ventilation and a fan that is running but unable to effectively deliver air to the machine, severely weakening the dehumidification effect and potentially preventing water discharge. When the frost layer thickens to a certain extent, the compressor will stop running. Especially in winter, this situation can lead to frequent starts and stops of the dehumidifier, increasing the wear and tear of the machine.
3. Eight tips to avoid inferior products and choose high-quality dehumidifiers
Do dehumidifiers pollute the air? We have the answer, inferior dehumidifiers not only have a bad impact on the environment, but also pose a serious threat to human health. We also analyzed the current chaotic dehumidifier market, and found that inferior products are mainly due to the chaos of the market, in order to help you avoid the impact of market chaos and buy inferior products, I also summarized the eight tips for avoiding these products and choosing really easy to use products.
Tip 1: Prioritize brands that are technologically advanced, professional and reliable. These brands of dehumidifiers are designed to be safe and long-lasting, removing moisture efficiently and reliably, creating a safe and comfortable environment. In addition, they prevent dust build-up and mold growth, helping to purify the air. Conversely, poorly technologically ill-powered brand dehumidifiers perform poorly in terms of effectiveness and air quality control, which can lead to air pollution.
Tip 2: High-quality double-row copper pipes are crucial. Compared with single-row copper tubes, double-row copper tubes have better heat dissipation effect, which can reduce the indoor temperature more quickly and improve cooling efficiency. For household dehumidifiers, it is recommended to choose high-quality products with a copper tube thickness of at least 0.20mm and a copper content of more than 99% to ensure longer durability and service life.
Tip 3: Compressor quality cannot be ignored. Compressors produced by well-known brands such as Meizhi, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc., are favored for their high quality, excellent dehumidification capacity, low noise, stability and long life. Conversely, low-quality compressors are inefficient, noisy, unstable, and prone to failure.
Tip 4: Pay attention to the quality of your evaporator and condenser. Aluminum evaporators and condensers on the market are thin and inexpensive, but they are susceptible to corrosion and have a short lifespan. Professional dehumidifiers use copper evaporators and condensers with more durability, which are not only more durable, but also improve dehumidification and extend service life, bringing users a better experience.
Tip 5: Be cautious of giveaway-rich products. Some merchants tend to give away a lot of giveaways to entice consumers to buy. However, be wary of the pitfalls, as dehumidifiers typically have a lifespan of more than 3-5 years. The quality of the product, the dehumidification effect and the texture of the materials used are more critical. In addition, the postage cost is borne by the consumer when returning, and it is important not to blindly pursue small bargains.
Tip 6: When buying a dehumidifier, avoid products that lack effective dust removal functions. Some manufacturers may use inferior materials and designs to reduce costs, and prolonged use can lead to the build-up of dust and mold, which in turn can lead to air pollution and pose a health threat. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you choose a product with excellent dust collection capabilities.
Tip 7: Never buy a dehumidifier that is too cheap for the sake of a small bargain. To get a good dehumidification effect, you need to invest in better compressors, condensers, and more and better condensing copper tubes. These factors need to be supported by cost, and low-cost, low-quality products not only perform poorly in dehumidification, but also have poor durability and rapid performance degradation. Dehumidifiers that use low-quality materials are prone to air pollution, and prolonged storage can lead to the growth of bacteria, which can affect physical and mental health.
Tip 8: When choosing a dehumidifier, always consider its durability. The unit price of dehumidifiers is usually high, and choosing a low-cost and low-quality product can lead to the use of inferior compressors, condensers and other components, which can affect their durability.
By discussing the problem of whether the dehumidifier pollutes the air, we found that many inferior products do have considerable dangers, which originate from the current chaos in the dehumidifier market, which is full of fake and shoddy products and false propaganda, making consumers easy to fall into the trap of bad merchants and buy unsafe products of poor quality, which leads to air pollution. In order to help you avoid these pitfalls, I also conducted a detailed science popularization and introduced the corresponding selection machine skills. For your convenience, I have collected relevant data and combined with my own experience to recommend some easy-to-use products to you.
Please be wary of many cases of exaggerating dehumidification performance and toxic air pollution in the dehumidifier industry! OSS circulation-decontamination and self-cleaning technology, as well as the five-fold air filtration system, achieve maternal and infant level dust-free, sterile and odor-free, avoid the air pollution problem caused by the dehumidifier, and become recognized as the best dehumidification performance within 60 square meters (can cover 130 square meters), with the blessing of nine core black technologies, the dehumidification capacity in different temperatures and environments is increased by 83%, the dehumidification speed is increased by 92%, the dehumidification stability is increased by 120%, and the harmful gas release rate is reduced by 98% No wonder it is recognized as the most professional brand in the industry, while many other brands are more crazy to play low-cost cards.
