Home appliances play an indispensable role in daily life, providing a lot of convenience and comfort to our lives.
However, there are some household appliances that seem to be fine on the surface, but in fact, there are already potential hazards, even if they are not broken, we must throw them away in time!
1. Miscellaneous household appliances
It is very attractive in terms of price, so many people can't help but buy it!
However, it is important to know that such products often use low-cost materials and processes, although cheap, the quality is difficult to guarantee, and there may be problems such as safety and durability, and even cause irreparable harm.
For example, the food log of netizen @Dalinzi has experienced: The newly bought small electrical appliances caught fire, and the whole family picked up a life in the middle of the night!
She bought an underwear dryer, that is, put the dried underwear in it, and disinfect it with ultraviolet light for 45 minutes.
Who knows,There was a problem with the third time.,Throw the underwear directly into it before going to bed at night.,As a result, the machine smoked in the middle of the night.,Fortunately, my sister got up to go to the toilet and found it in time.,Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.。
Therefore, she said, don't try to buy cheap appliances, you must be a big brand, although it is a little more expensive, but the safety is more secure, there are miscellaneous electrical appliances at home, don't be sorry, throw it away.
2. Household appliances that have exceeded their service life
As early as 2020, the China Household Electrical Appliances Association formulated a series of standards for the safe service life of household appliances, which stipulate the service life of many household appliances.
Once the service life is exceeded, it will cause a variety of problems.
For example, the service life of the refrigerator is generally 10-16 years, beyond this time, even if it can still be used, there will be slight tremor, water leakage, serious odor, increased power consumption, and even refrigerant leakage, polluting food and other problems.
Not only is it a safety hazard, but it will also affect the health of your family.
The overage phenomenon of washing machines is the most common in life, the specified period is 8 years, once overaged, there may be water seepage, water leakage, electricity leakage, unclean cleaning, and even explosion and other problems, the consequences are serious.
Including commonly used water heaters, range hoods, air conditioners, etc., they also have their own service life.
It is recommended that once the age has passed, try to trade in the old for the new, and do not insist on using it anymore, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.
3. Household appliances that cannot be automatically powered off
Do you dare to think that there are still small household appliances that can't automatically turn off the power nowadays!
A while ago, I bought a steamer, which is still a big brand, but there was no automatic power-off function, and the pot was burned twice, but fortunately I noticed it in time, otherwise I didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Therefore, when buying small household appliances, you must see if there is an automatic power-off function, and don't buy it if you don't have it.
There are also some kettles and electric pots that have been used for a long time, and you should also pay attention to whether the power-off function is intact, my friend's electric kettle, the power-off function was suddenly damaged, the water has been boiling non-stop, and the table where the kettle is placed is hot.
Therefore, I advise you that this kind of household appliances, even if they are not broken, are not recommended, don't think how good your memory is.
4. Household appliances that do not meet the new national standard
It usually refers to household appliances that do not meet the latest national standards in terms of energy consumption, safety, environmental protection, etc., and these household appliances may not meet the requirements of the new national standard due to backward technology, unreasonable design or inconsistent production standards.
For example, in-line gas water heaters, as early as 1999, the state banned the production and sale of in-line gas water heaters, but now there are still some families using them.
This kind of gas water heater has no exhaust pipe, and the exhaust gas after combustion will be directly discharged into the room, and because the combustion of the gas is incomplete, the carbon monoxide contained in it will pollute the air, and then damage human health.
Therefore, if you have this kind of gas water heater at home, you should throw it away if it is not broken, update it in time, and the indoor will be safer.
There is also this kind of "universal socket", which was banned as early as 2010, and the reason why it is called universal socket is that it can meet both two-level plugs and three-level plugs, which seems to be very convenient, but in fact has great safety risks.
When this kind of socket is designed, in order to be compatible with two plugs and three plugs, there will be the problem that the jack is too large, and the children's hands are easy to plug in, and there is a risk of electric shock, and the contact area between the socket tab and the electrical plug is too small, and the plug will be overheated for a long time, resulting in fire.
Today's new national standard is basically a combination of five holes or two or three holes, there is no mixed use, and the jack is smaller, and there is a safety protection door, which is much more secure.
It is recommended that everyone throw away this kind of "universal socket" at home, and it is safer and more convenient to replace it with the new national standard.
