In today's society, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and the home appliance industry is at the forefront of continuous innovation.
However, with the passage of time, some once highly sought-after home appliances have gradually exposed various problems in the process of use and become a laughing stock.
The reason for this is that consumers blindly follow the trend when purchasing, and fail to have an in-depth understanding of the product's performance and application scenarios.
Next, let's talk about the 6 kinds of household appliances that have been blown into the sky, but now they have become a laughing stock, and I hope that everyone can make rational choices when buying and avoid unnecessary losses caused by blindly following the trend.
1. Air energy water heater
Air energy water heaters have been blown to the sky, saying that they are the best choice for environmental protection and energy saving, but in fact, it has a whole lot of problems.
(1) Frequent failures and frequent maintenance, which annoys users and costs a lot of money to repair.
(2) Some models still have to rely on electric auxiliary heating, which means that sometimes you have to rely on old-fashioned electric water heaters, so what is the significance of environmental protection and energy saving?
(3) When winter comes, the efficiency of this thing will plummet, and the electricity bill will get higher and higher.
To deal with this kind of air energy water heater, my suggestion is not to be fooled by environmental protection and energy-saving advertisements when buying a water heater, and to see whether it is stable, saves electricity, and is suitable for your use environment.
If your home is not suitable for this thing, or it is not stable and reliable, then it is better to use a traditional electric water heater. Buyers of electricity must be cautious and choose wisely, so as not to make themselves crazy and spend money in vain.
Second, the treadmill
The treadmill used to be the ideal gym equipment in many people's minds, but over time, many families found that it gradually became an ornament. After buying it home, many people find it difficult to keep exercising every day, and in the end they can only use it as a price for impulse shopping.
There are some problems that need to be summarized.
(1) Treadmills usually occupy a lot of space, which may limit the space for other activities at home, and instead become decorations rather than practical objects. Many people fail to fully consider their actual situation and space constraints when purchasing, blindly pursuing fitness equipment and ignoring the convenience of daily life.
(2) Many people who buy treadmills do not seriously evaluate their exercise needs. Although treadmills can provide a convenient indoor running environment, buying a treadmill may not be the best choice for people who don't like to run or get tired of exercising easily.
Therefore, when considering whether to buy a treadmill, family members should carefully consider their exercise needs and space situation. Make sure you buy a treadmill because of a long-term need, not on impulse.
In addition, you can also consider buying some more flexible and diverse fitness equipment, such as dumbbells, yoga mats, etc., to meet the different exercise needs of family members. Any gym equipment should be bought to improve the health and quality of life of the family, not to be furnished or wasted.
3. Smart toilets
Smart toilets, once said to be the spokesperson of modern sanitary life, are all the rage, and their appearance is also high. But in reality, you can get a lot of trouble with it.
First of all, we have to admit that the problem of insufficient water pressure is really annoying. Sometimes, the water pressure at home is not strong, and the smart toilet is like a soulless vase, with no effect.
Also, even if it's a tall style, sometimes the rinse effect is overwhelming. If you choose the wrong model, you won't flush well, and you will get water everywhere, which is very troublesome.
So, what to do? We have to buy smart toilets carefully, don't blindly follow the trend. You have to see how well it is pressed, how well it washes, and whether there is a splash-proof design.
Choose a model that can adjust the water pressure, adapt to various family water pressure situations, and then choose a brand with a good reputation and high reputation to avoid stepping on the pit. Of course, you should also ask the opinions of professionals or other people who have used it beforehand, so that you can buy a safe one.
Buy a smart toilet, you have to according to the actual situation of your own family, don't patronize the pursuit of high-tech, actual performance and quality are king. In this way, you can really enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by the smart toilet!
Fourth, sweeping robots
The sweeping robot is praised to the sky, saying that it can replace our manual cleaning, but it may encounter some problems in actual use. You have to think about these things carefully, and then give some advice to everyone, so that you can know when you buy it.
Although robot vacuum cleaners are said to be as clean as people, there may not be many times when they can really be completely cleaned. There are some small corners or something, it may not be able to hit, it is not so clean, and it is a little worse than cleaning it ourselves.
And the maintenance and cleaning of this thing is also quite annoying. You have to clean the hair and dust on its brushes and roller brushes frequently, which is quite troublesome. Also, battery life and charging time can be a headache, making it less efficient.
To deal with these problems, I have a bit of advice: before buying a robot vacuum, first understand the cleaning needs and budget at home. If there are a lot of corners in your home that need to be cleaned, or areas that need to be cleaned frequently, you may want to consider other cleaning methods or hire someone to clean them manually.
When buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it is best to choose one with a long battery life and complete automatic cleaning functions, which can reduce the trouble of maintenance and cleaning.
In this way, you can ensure that the robot you buy can really meet the cleaning needs of the family and bring you real convenience.
5. Zero cold water gas water heater
Zero cold water gas water heaters used to be all the rage, solving a lot of troubles encountered by users when using hot water. However, who knows, now there are some annoying problems that make people a little headache.
(1) This kind of water heater solves the trouble of "putting cold water before boiling water", but the cost of using it may be a bit high. To maintain the zero cold water function, the water heater is burning all the time, and a lot of natural gas is used, which makes the natural gas bill at home skyrocket. For families who are already struggling with their budgets, this extra expense can be stressful!
(2) The installation environment may also be a problem. If you don't have a return pipe at home in advance, or the installation environment is not very strong, then it's over. It may affect the normal use of the zero cold water function, or cause the water circulation effect to be poor, and even the cold water pipes are not clean.
Therefore, when buying a water heater, you must take into account the situation and installation environment at home, don't be confused by the fashionable appearance, and buy something that is not suitable for your home.
If the budget is not enough or the situation at home is not good, you can also consider other types of water heaters, anyway, the goal is to choose the right one for the home, in order to truly appreciate its convenience.
6. Dishwasher
The dishwasher used to be the right-hand man of the kitchen, and everyone found it particularly convenient and hassle-free. However, there are still some problems when it comes to actual use.
(1) The dishwasher may not be able to clean some special dishes or large pots. Some oddly shaped dishes may not be washed properly and will have to take time to wash them manually.
(2) After the large pot is put in, it may occupy the space of the dishwasher, causing other dishes to be unable to be cleaned.
(3) The cleaning and maintenance of the dishwasher is sometimes quite troublesome. It is necessary to clean the filter regularly and keep the dishwasher water spray pipe clear, otherwise it will affect the dishwashing effect and even shorten the life of the dishwasher.
If you have a special set of utensils at home, or if you often cook in a large pot, you may want to consider other cleaning methods or choose a dishwasher with a larger capacity. In addition, don't forget to maintain it often, otherwise it will affect its long-term use.
【Summary】
When buying home appliances, you might as well stop and think carefully, and don't be fooled by all kinds of publicity and advertising.
Only by choosing the right products for yourself can you truly improve the quality of life.
