(Part of the garment steamers in this evaluation)
1. Does the garment steamer hurt the fabric? Beware of the four major shortcomings
Does the garment steamer hurt the fabric? Poor-quality garment steamers perform poorly when ironing and are at risk of damage to the garment. Therefore, I have sorted out the four major shortcomings and hazards of the inferior garment steamer and reminded you!
Hazard 1, the product quality is not up to standard, and the clothes are burned
Inferior products are not too good in terms of quality and performance stability, lack of strict control standards, especially in the control of ironing temperature, the amount of steam generated, the use of power, etc., lack of research and development, can not cope with the ironing needs of different clothing fabrics, and is prone to damage to clothes due to unstable temperature and steam volume.
Hazard 2, easy to touch steam, resulting in skin burns
The grip of some garment steamers is designed to be too small, which is uncomfortable to grip, and is not very smooth to use in the process of ironing, and it is easy to touch the high-temperature steam, causing skin burns.
Hazard 3: The wire rod material is poor, and there is a risk of safe use
Some inferior garment steamers cut corners in wire materials, and the wire materials used cannot meet safety standards, which are easy to cause excessive current in the ironing process, which affects the performance and efficacy of the product, and is easy to cause safety accidents such as short circuit and electric shock, and there are many potential safety hazards.
Hazard 4, the cavity material is not durable, resulting in unpleasant odor
Some inferior products use inferior materials in their cavity structure, and even use some plastics that are difficult to withstand high temperatures, which are difficult to withstand long-term high-temperature pressurization environment, and are easy to produce unpleasant irritating odors and harmful and toxic gases, polluting the environment and air.
Second, be wary of the chaos of the four major industries of garment steamers
In this evaluation, I referred to the negative evaluation data on garment steamers released by authoritative institutions, and found that the industry chaos of garment steamers in recent years is more serious. Therefore, we have sorted out the chaos of the four major industries of the garment steamer, and I hope that we can be vigilant.
Chaos 1, lack of professionalism, lack of technical adjustment of products
Nowadays, there are many Internet celebrity brands and cross-border brands on the market, although they attract a wave of consumers to place orders through faster marketing methods such as Internet celebrity live broadcast rooms and short video platforms, but they do not settle down to make products, such as the lack of in-depth research and development of garment steamers, the lack of technical tuning of core performance, the inability to fully cope with the daily needs of ironing, the professionalism and quality of the products are poor, and it is easy to damage clothes.
Chaos 2, excessive publicity, product performance has not improved
Although it can attract the attention of consumers in a relatively short period of time and has a certain effect on increasing sales, it is difficult to develop the product line due to the lack of R&D investment, and even affect the effect of ironing.
Chaos 3, compress production input, there is a situation of cutting corners
Due to the phenomenon of involution in the clothing care industry, many brands have begun to fight price wars in order to survive in the fierce competition, by compressing production inputs and cutting corners to use inferior materials, resulting in the sacrifice of product quality, affecting the durability and heat resistance of products, and causing damage to clothing.
4. Carry out more marketing activities, and the quality of products is reduced
In order to maintain long-term high sales, many brands grasp the psychology of consumers who like to kill and engage in activities, and use lower prices to attract consumers to place orders through frequent marketing activities with greater discounts, which also leads to low-cost and inferior products on the market, the quality of products is difficult to guarantee, and the damage rate of clothing is high.
