In the era of Internet celebrity economy, Internet celebrity home products emerge in an endless stream, and I have to say that although some things are very novel and advanced, it is undeniable that there are also many products that are actually "IQ tax". This also makes many people pay tuition fees because they blindly follow the trend.
For example, the following 6 household products are really "not very practical, the first place in the pit money", and it is recommended that you don't spend money in the new year.
1. Sealing machine
Many people find it useful to have a sealing machine, and they can use the sealing machine to seal leftover snacks and cereals, so that they will not get damp and keep them fresh. But what many people don't know before experiencing it is that this thing is really not easy to use.
Using my own experience as an example, I found it to be quite frustrating because:
(1) The temperature control is very unstable. When the temperature is low, the closure is not tight, and when the temperature is high, the plastic bag will be melted directly.
(2) Its sealing effect is not ideal, and it is easy to be torn apart or leak air (I thought it was no problem, but I knew how chicken it was when I pinched it).
Meijia recommends:
One thing to say, no matter how good the sealing machine is, it is not as good as a "sealed jar", which really does not accept refutation...... Whether it's leftover snacks or a variety of other ingredients, putting them all in an airtight jar and screwing them up really works better than anything else!
2. Moxibustion stool
This thing can be called an artifact for the elderly, in essence, it is actually a combination of an ordinary stool and moxibustion, but the price is 5,000 yuan or 6,000 yuan, which is a proper IQ tax.
Moxibustion itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which requires the selection of acupuncture points and time according to the individual's constitution and symptoms, and cannot be used at will, otherwise there will be side effects. And this moxibustion stool is to install a moxibustion box at the bottom of the stool, so that you can sit on it and achieve the effect of moxibustion.
But if you think about it, is this really scientific? Are your acupuncture points all under your buttocks? Are you able to control your time? Are you able to adjust your temperature properly? If you can't guarantee this, then you are wasting money and may hurt your body.

I don't have any good advice, I really can't persuade it, and I can't help it......
3. Squeeze toothpaste artifact
This kind of home product looks very high-end, but in fact it is not practical at all. The principle of this thing is to squeeze out the toothpaste through a mechanical device. But this thing has a lot of drawbacks. For example, I summarized a few points below.
(1) Cleaning is very troublesome, and after a long time, you will find that there will be a lot of residue inside, which is naturally easy to breed bacteria and affect oral hygiene.
(2) The use efficiency is very low, and when the toothpaste is almost used up, it is difficult to squeeze it out again, and you have to squeeze it by hand, or change to a new toothpaste.
(3) The quality is different, it is easy to break, and the price of this thing is really cheap, so many people are "excited" when they see it. As everyone knows, the lower the price, the worse the quality......!
Meijia recommends:
Don't spend any more money to buy this kind of toothpaste artifact, although it is a small amount of money!
4. Folding washing machine
In the past year, have you seen anyone using a "folding washing machine"? I believe that many people have really seen it and invested in it. After all, the selling point of this thing is that it can be folded up, it doesn't take up space, and it can do laundry anytime, anywhere. But its usefulness is also really a mess!
(1) The capacity is too small, only 1-2 pieces of clothing can be washed at a time, and even can only be used to wash socks and underwear.
(2) Do not wash too heavy clothes, otherwise the washing machine will directly "not move", which will affect the cleaning effect (and it itself is also easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it needs to be cleaned regularly).
(3) The washing capacity is low and not smart enough. Not to mention intelligence, it is very poor in terms of simple "washing effect", even if the clothes are dirty, they cannot be cleaned thoroughly, and in the end they have to be washed by hand. It's really a toss-up!
(4) Because this kind of washing machine needs to add water to it and plug it in, it can only be suitable for the bathroom, in short, it is more chicken.
Meijia recommends:
It's better to honestly choose a traditional washing machine, and don't buy a folded one for the sake of freshness, it's really impractical. In addition to the unreliable folding washing machine, the underwear washing machine (the wall-mounted kind) that is more popular on the market today is also not worth investing in, and the noise is very loud when it turns......
5. Slate dining table
It is estimated that many people do not know until now that many of the dining tables made of rock slabs on the market are actually counterfeited as ceramic slabs.
After the rock slab is on fire, the rock slab dining table is also on fire, there is one thing to say, the advantage of this kind of dining table is that it looks very high-end, very textured, and wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, not afraid of hot water or oil stains. But the shortcomings are also very obvious, such as the disadvantages that I summarized with many fans below.
(1) It is easy to crack (especially the back of the rock slab is not "fully supported", because the force is uneven, it is easy to crack).
(2) Easy to collapse porcelain (this is the recognized disadvantage of rock slabs, as long as it is made of rock slabs, it will be easy to collapse porcelain, after all, it is actually porcelain building materials in nature.) Therefore, the slate countertop in the kitchen and the slate coffee table in the living room will also have this problem).
Meijia recommends:
If you insist on choosing a rock slab dining table, you must not choose too cheap, the real rock slabs are thousands of yuan per square meter, and the imported ones will cost two or three thousand yuan. So the kind of "rock slab dining table" with a price tag of several hundred yuan is undoubtedly fake. And when choosing, you should also pay attention to the support method at the bottom, and it is best to choose the "full support" one.
Of course, I recommend that you choose a "solid wood dining table", which is called a durable!
6. Spiral drying rack
The reason why Internet celebrity home products can become popular is that they are very "eye-catching" in appearance. For example, the "spiral drying rack" is a typical example, which looks very good, especially when drying sheets, it is really "space-saving".
However, if you have used it, you will know that it is also "not very practical, and it is the first place in the pit money".
This kind of spiral drying rack, if you use it to dry bed sheets, when you put it in, you will find that the side of the "inner ring" is completely closed, and it is not ventilated, which is definitely not conducive to the evaporation of water, and will invisibly prolong the drying time!
Many people may buy it in order to save more balcony space, but in fact, if the drying sheets are always dry, it is also a burden to the balcony. To be honest, it might as well be left open to dry on the traditional "clothes pole" and it won't take long to dry!
Meijia recommends:
Of course, a rotating drying rack like the one above is not useless, although it is difficult to dry bed sheets, but it is still possible to use it to dry small items such as socks and towels. By the way, if you want to really save space on the balcony for drying, it is better to invest in a dryer, and the price of dryers on the market is getting lower and lower.
Write at the end of the article:
The 6 household products of the Chinese people summarized above are not practical if you really experience them. In the new year, I hope we still have to maintain rational consumption and not blindly follow some "Internet celebrity household products".
After all, there are so many things that are "gimmicks".
