From radios to black-and-white color TVs, those household products and household appliances that we are familiar with have been eliminated with the progress of the times;
Sometimes, when we think about it, we will find that the times are constantly knocking everything out, even leaving you aside without saying hello.
Therefore, the theme to be shared in this issue, the six major appliances that have been touted to the sky, and now "become a laughing stock", are really pitfalls, I advise you not to buy them again, let's take a look together.
Juicer
The juice machine sounds so beautiful, it seems to be an artifact that can instantly improve the quality of life. However, the reality is always cruel. Trust me, unless you have seven or eight people in your family and everyone is very hardworking, this appliance is destined to become a kitchen fixture. The fruit is not just washed and eaten, so why bother?
The juice machine looks tempting, as if you can enjoy fresh and delicious juice at the touch of a button. But the reality is that unless you have enough power and time, this machine will only gather dust in the corners.
Is there really that spare time to prepare fruit and juice every day? Most people are just deceived by the beautiful life scene in the advertisement, and the actual operation is not so simple at all.
Besides, the juice machine wash is really super cumbersome. Making two glasses of juice seems simple and pleasant, but in fact, one glass of juice is drunk for five minutes, and the juicer is cleaned for at least half an hour;
Those blades, strainers, and small parts all need to be cleaned carefully, otherwise the residual pomace will become moldy and deteriorate. After cleaning, you have to dry and dry the parts one by one. The process is comparable to a small chore, and it is almost doubtful.
Egg sausage machine
You may be a little confused when you hear the name, you don't know what this thing is, right? Let me give you a detailed description. First, you have to flip the switch, put some oil in it, then crack an egg into it, stick a skewer, wait a while, and you'll magically come up with a cylindrical hard-boiled egg sausage. Sounds interesting? However, this is not the case.
Not to mention how weird the process looks, the taste is also indescribable. The taste of egg sausage is neither the aroma of fried eggs nor the tenderness of steamed eggs, but a nondescript feeling;
Just imagine, a cylindrical protein cube that has neither a taste to speak of, nor a taste to be desired. The taste is amazing, and it's good to be able to swallow it. Once you've eaten it, you'll probably lose interest in this machine entirely.
What's worse is that the cleaning of the egg sausage machine is a disaster. Those crevices and grooves are easy to trap dirt and dirt, and the residual egg liquid is particularly difficult to clean;
You have to brush it carefully with a brush, and you can't let go of every corner, otherwise the next time you use it, the residual eggy smell will definitely break you. Washing the egg sausage machine once is even more of a headache than eating egg sausage once.
Coffee machine
That semi-automatic coffee machine at my house really makes me love and hate it. Wanting to drink an authentic cup of coffee sounds great, but it's simply overwhelming in practice;
You still need to make the milk froth manually, I just want to say that it is really hard to froth the milk! If you are not careful, you will not be able to beat it well, either it will not be dense enough, or it will directly turn into a messy pot of foam. Every time, I was in a hurry and made a mess.
Cleaning this coffee maker is a more complex process. Taking those parts apart and cleaning them is like dissecting a small machine.
Coffee powder residues, residues in milk froth tubes, fine particles on the strainer, every detail must not be ignored, otherwise the next time you use it, you will smell old. Just one wash is enough time to get you to the café downstairs for three cups of coffee.
Throw away this coffee machine, and be reluctant to do so, after all, it is extremely expensive. Every time I see it, it feels like a lesson that I bought at a great price. It's just that I didn't do my homework at the beginning and blindly followed the trend to buy and buy, and now I can only worry about this "noble" coffee machine every day.
Therefore, I sincerely advise all newbies not to impulsively spend and buy such semi-automatic coffee machines. It seems to be high-end and high-grade, but the actual operation is cumbersome and complicated, and it is really difficult to enjoy the fun of drinking coffee without enough time and patience. Instead of tossing yourself, why don't you go straight to the café and buy a cup of coffee made by professionals, saving you worry and effort, and you don't have to wash the cup!
On-board Xiaoice box
The car-mounted Xiaoice box is really powerless to complain. To say that it is a "chicken rib" is not an exaggeration at all. First of all, the season of the year when it is really hot enough to drink an ice-cold drink in the car is only one or two months, and there are not many opportunities;
What's even more speechless is that the refrigeration effect of this Xiaoice box can be called "turtle speed". It's not like you can cool you down right away with an ice-cold drink, you have to be patient and wait for a while.
Let's talk about this space, which is basically pitifully small. Stuffing two bottles of drinks is already the limit, and you can't squeeze in a little more. I finally looked forward to it for a long time, and when I opened it, the temperature of the drink had not dropped much, so it was better to put it under the car window to dry. Such efficiency is really powerless to complain.
In actual use, you will find that the car Xiaoice box not only occupies space, but also consumes electricity. When the car is driving, it is working silently, stopping the car, and the refrigerator is also resting. You also have to consider the battery life, if you are not careful, you may run out of battery and make more than you can lose.
Air fryer
The air fryer, which sounds like an all-purpose tool in the kitchen, is actually a noise-making machine. Imagine putting a blower running at full speed in your kitchen, how noisy would that be? Every time you turn on the air fryer, it's like opening a small construction site in the kitchen, and the noise makes people's ears deafening.
Besides, this internal cooking space is really pitifully small. You can only put down one or two side dishes, and you can't cook more than one at a time. As a result, the range of dishes to choose from is greatly limited;
It's okay to fry fries and chicken wings, but if a guest comes to the house one day and wants to roast a whole chicken, it is obviously useless to count on the air fryer. That small cooking space, not to mention the whole chicken, even a large chicken leg had to be struggling to stuff in.
Moreover, the effect of the air fryer is not as magical as imagined. Although it looks crispy on the outside, the texture and taste are not as good as it could be. A lot of times, the fried stuff is either not crispy enough, or it's dry on the inside, and it doesn't have the uniform heating effect of an oven.
Once you have an oven, the air fryer is basically goodbye. The oven has a lot of cooking space and is more versatile, so you can bake a pizza, a cake, or even a whole chicken without stress. In addition, the cooking effect of the oven is more stable and the food tastes better. In contrast, an air fryer is simply a flashy ornament.
Treadmill
The treadmill, the "big item" of fitness at home, is really loved and hated. During the Chinese New Year, I indulged myself a little, and as a result, I gained a lot of weight. So, on impulse, I bought a treadmill to lose weight. At that time, I thought that if I kept running every day, I would lose weight in minutes. However, the reality is cruel.
At first, I was full of enthusiasm, but after running for a few days, I felt like a fitness expert. But within a week, the enthusiasm quickly cooled down, and every day facing the treadmill, there was a feeling of going to the execution ground. The monotony and boredom of the treadmill is really hard to stick to. It didn't take long for me to give up completely and never want to run up again.
As a result, the large treadmill had to be tragically relocated to the balcony, taking up a large chunk. Every time I see it, I feel a silent irony: what was once a determination to lose weight has now become a huge burden. The balcony was originally small, but now it is squeezed by this behemoth and there is little room for movement.
The end of the treadmill is mostly idle. Instead of spending a lot of money on equipment that takes up space, it is better to choose other sports methods that are more suitable for you, such as going to the gym or running outdoors, which can save money and be more motivating.
