5 kinds of major appliances, don't buy them if you're not a local tyrant.
If you are "gritting your teeth" when you buy it, the later experience will not be good. Either you buy a cheap model, and the experience is very different from the high-end product; Either you gritted your teeth and bought a high-end model, and the later cost was so high that you couldn't afford it.
.01 Central air conditioning
In the past, the price of central air conditioning was high, and ordinary people didn't even dare to think about it, this thing was exclusive to villas. Now that its price has dropped slightly, many people feel that they can afford it.
But when you pay and start the installation, you find that things are different from what you imagined:
We have been accustomed to the free installation of air conditioning (although we still have to charge some aerial work fees or something), but the installation of central air conditioning is definitely not free. All kinds of pipes and holes add up, often thousands of yuan.
After using it for a while, you will find that there are more problems:
The legendary "power saving" did not happen, and when the air conditioner was turned on in only one or two rooms, the power consumption was even higher than that of the air conditioner. There are many faults, especially the frequent water leakage of the indoor unit. It costs nearly 1,000 yuan to repair the air conditioner every year, and if the water leak bubbles and the decoration is broken, it will be more expensive to repair.
.02 Air Purifier
Air purifiers are available at all price points, and the cheapest ones cost only a few hundred yuan. But the experience is completely different:
Cheap air purifiers have very small air volume and poor filtration effect, and smoking a cigarette in the room takes more than an hour to deplete the smell, and the efficiency is lower than opening the window for ventilation.
Some cheap models don't even have a "filtering" effect, and turning it on purely for psychological comfort. The filter element will be dirty in a few days, and without a secondary filtration system, it will cause pollution to the indoor air.
The air outflow is very small
Then grit your teeth and buy a high-end model - spend four or five thousand to buy an air purifier:
If you don't have enough money, this purifier will become a big problem for you. Because it's going to change the filter! Change the filter cartridge once or twice a year, and each set of filter cartridges costs at least one or two thousand yuan.
Keep using it, the cost of the filter element is too high to use; Don't use it if it's idle, I bought it for four or five thousand yuan, and it's a pity to throw it away.
.03 Zero cold water gas water heater
The most pitiful thing about this kind of gas water heater is that it attracts many people who want to save money to buy it.
Those people will think:
It's a waste to let go of so much cold water before every bath. Buying a zero-cold gas water heater can save you a lot of water bills by heating up the shower as soon as it is turned on.
But when we buy it home, we will find that:
Zero cold water gas water heater is the use of water circulation to achieve "no need to put cold water". In other words, even without water, the water heater is still heating and the circulating pump is still working.
Electricity and gas bills are much more expensive than the cold water bills that are released before bathing.
.04 Fresh air system
A concept that was very popular a few years ago is actually not needed anymore. The fresh air system can ventilate the room, but the ventilation efficiency is not high. Its biggest selling point is its filtering ability:
Filter the outdoor air before blowing it indoors.
Like an air purifier, it also has a filter element in it, which also needs to be replaced regularly. If it is not replaced in time, it will not only affect the efficiency of the air intake, but also cause secondary pollution to the air.
Cheap fresh air system air outlet test
When we can change the filter element, we will find that its filter element is too expensive! A set of filter cartridges also costs thousands of yuan, and many times it is not possible to replace them by yourself. Calling after-sales personnel is a big expense.
.05 Integrated stove
The integrated stove is "expensive" in maintenance:
At that time, the integrated stove was widely criticized in terms of maintenance, and everyone said that "if a certain part of the integrated stove is broken, it must be replaced entirely". Now the integrated stove manufacturer has made it a modular -
Range hood, gas stove, and integrated kitchen appliance are three modules that can be removed separately. If the range hood is broken, the range hood is changed, and the gas stove is broken, and the entire integrated stove is not replaced if one is broken.
Compared to those days, the modular design has indeed improved. But:
• The price of the module is expensive, let's take the range hood as an example - buy a range hood, at most one or two thousand yuan is enough. However, the range hood module on the integrated stove needs at least 3,000 yuan, and the high-end model even needs 5,000 or 6,000 yuan.
• The modules of different models of integrated cookers are not universal, when the integrated cooker you buy is discontinued for many years, there may be an embarrassment of "not being able to buy the corresponding module", and when a part is broken, you still need to replace the entire integrated cooker.
