Living at home is inseparable from household appliances, which can help us improve our quality of life and solve the pain points of life.
Therefore, in order to pursue the quality of life, many people grit their teeth and stomp their feet to choose high-end home appliances when the house is renovated and purchased.
The result is a dilemma, it is not used, it is not used, and the money is spent in vain.
For example, the following 4 kinds of electrical appliances are typical of affordable but unaffordable, if the family is not very wealthy, I advise you not to follow the trend!
1. Water purifier
Household water purifier is a good thing, but the market reputation is declining year by year; not that there is a problem with the product, but the "special filter element" that pits people.
The main reason is that when the filter element is replaced, it is found that the cost of use is very high. Cheap filter cartridges are also hundreds of dollars larger, and some cost thousands of yuan, resulting in many people who can afford water purifiers, but cannot afford the high cost of replacing the cartridge.
Netizen @Yoyo years:
The water purifier filter element really can't afford to use it (not to mention which brand) !! machine just spent more than 4k when I first bought it, and it was said that the composite filter element was replaced once a year, and the RO membrane was 700+, and this year was the third year, and it took 15 thousand oceans to change two filter elements.
The filter cartridge is expensive, but the quality can keep up, and the first year is used more, and the filter cartridge is reminded to be replaced in less than 11 months. The longer it is used, the shorter the time, and the slower the water comes out, no matter how much it is used, the machine will be called when it arrives. Now it's time to buy purified water!
In addition, there is also a drainage problem, which will also increase the cost of use! That is to say, the water purifier produces 2 cups of pure water, and 1 cup of wastewater needs to be discharged, which is too wasteful.
To sum up, it is recommended that friends who plan to buy a water purifier prefer a universal filter cartridge, which is easy to buy and the price is transparent. It only takes about two or three hundred yuan to replace the filter element every year, which will greatly reduce the cost of use. The water purifier with a special filter element is carefully selected, otherwise it can only be slaughtered.
2. Dishwasher
Dishwashers, in previous years, are basically a necessary household appliance for young people to decorate, almost every household has them, indeed, compared with manual dishwashing, it is cleaner and more hygienic, and it can also free your hands.
For friends who have never used a dishwasher, they may not know too much, not that they can't afford a dishwasher, but that dishwasher consumables are too expensive and the cost of use is too high.
That is to say, dishwashing will use cleaning agents, such as: what dishwashing blocks, dishwashing powder, soft water salt, dishwashing pods, and rinsing agents, these are indispensable special consumables for dishwashers, resulting in an invisible increase in the cost of living.
Netizen @There is a kitten called a fart:
Before buying a dishwasher, I didn't know the cost of using it, and I didn't consider the price of consumables.
Now that it is used, the cost of washing a dish is so high, not to mention the obvious increase in water and electricity consumption, the price of dishwashing consumables is not cheap. Usually a family of 3, I am really reluctant to use the dishwashing block.
Netizen @wheat home self-loading notes:
There is no denying that the dishwasher really works, but... Dishwashing consumables are really expensive!
I originally wanted to take advantage of the Double 11 event to stock up on dishwashing consumables, but even if I bought it for the event, it was not cheap, and I really couldn't afford to hoard it!
Therefore, for ordinary families, the cost of living using a dishwasher is an additional hundreds of yuan, or even thousands of yuan, every year, and it is indeed an electrical appliance that can be bought and cannot be used.
3. Wall-hung boiler
It is estimated that most of the household wall-hung boilers will appear in the southern region, because most of them are central heating in the north. There is no central heating in the southern region, and it is indeed very cold in winter, so many families will choose wall-hung boilers for self-heating.
The wall-hung boiler needs to buy gas for heating, although you can control the starting time and switch by yourself, but it really doesn't save money.
Because the operation of the wall-hung boiler needs to be turned on at a very high temperature to warm the house, many families who install the wall-hung boiler complain that the people who burn the gas are really distressed.
Netizen @Eat less cheese:
Self-installation of the wall-hung boiler, the cost is basically 50 yuan a day, about 15 square meters of gas!
At the beginning, it was recorded for a few days, hey, every morning when I get up, I have to look at the Alipay gas balance. I don't want to remember it now, anyway, the gas bill is at least 50 yuan a day, which is too expensive (coordinates Qingdao).
Netizen @ Rumored:
The wall-hung boiler burns natural gas for heating, which is really the same as burning money!
Let's put it this way, an average of 20 square meters of gas is burned a day. What is the concept? If you pay 3 yuan, it is more than 60 yuan a day, and you really can't afford it!
After 4 months of heating, it will cost six or seven thousand yuan to say the least, which is really a burden. After a year of hard work, I have contributed to it...
Therefore, for ordinary income families, it is really not recommended to choose a wall-hung boiler for heating; in a winter, it is necessary to start at least four or five thousand, which is really affordable to buy and cannot afford to use!
4. Central air conditioning
Household central air conditioning, compared with cabinet hang-up air conditioners, has a natural advantage, for example, its aesthetics and comfort, indisputable.
But if it is not a villa, or a high-end residence, I advise you to buy it with caution; If it is an ordinary family, the cost of use in the later stage is too high, which may lead to the purchase of it, but it cannot be used.
On the one hand, there is the cost of its maintenance. You know, the installation of central air conditioning is hidden in the ceiling, and the structure is relatively complex, so it is very difficult to maintain or maintain regularly in the later stage, and the cost is generally high.
Netizen @Ireland Lan:
The first time I opened it this summer, it broke down and couldn't run after a few days. Please come to the after-sales maintenance, take a look, and say that the motherboard is broken, and if you replace the motherboard, the cost is 4,000.
Netizen @Every cat is a star:
If you change the house again, you will definitely not install central air conditioning!
In the weather of 389 degrees, the compressor was broken, and I found the manufacturer to repair it, and told me that the parts should be sent, and it would take at least three days to insist.
Maintenance fee + spare parts fee, plus six or seven thousand yuan together, I really have a kind of scolding mother...
On the other hand, the point that has been frantically complained by netizens is its huge power consumption, and the electricity bill is too expensive!
Netizen @大源子:
The new home is 138 square meters, equipped with central air conditioning, thinking that the summer vacation can make the child feel cool at home, so I don't control the electricity too much. It's a drag four.,It's open in the living room during the day.,It's open in the bedroom at night.,How much electricity do you think this can use?
As a result, I was taught a lesson, the electricity bill of more than 900 a month is outrageous...
Therefore, if it is an ordinary family, do not blindly follow the trend to install central air conditioning, choose vertical cabinet machine, and wall-mounted air conditioner, not only low cost, low power consumption, but also can meet the needs of summer cooling and winter heating.
Write at the end of the article:
These four types of electrical appliances do improve our quality of life, but they are also very expensive. Therefore, I advise everyone to remember not to follow the trend, to fit their actual situation, see the bottom of the use, or not use.
