The kitchen is one of the most expensive places in home decoration. Kitchen and bathroom appliances are the soul of the kitchen. How to choose the appliances that suit you? I hope that this objective description of the Beijing kitchen appliances market can give you some insights. help!
We can see a wide variety of kitchen appliances in electrical appliance chains, cabinet showrooms, home living centers, and electrical appliance stores. How to distinguish them? Now let's first classify the kitchen and bathroom appliances in the Yongzhou market according to market positioning:

First line: Fotile, Boss, Sacon, Vantage,,,, etc.

Second line: Haier, Qianke, Macro , Qianfeng, Midea, Wanhe, Geeringer, Yingxue, Baide, etc.

Third line: Rongsheng, Suoqi, Amity, Royalstar, Little Swan, Shenbao, Wanbao, Weljie, Xiaoya, Wanxi, Dede, etc.

Let’s talk about the first, second and third tier brands:

Among the first tier brands, Fang, Lao and Shuai are the earliest companies in China to produce range hoods. In a short period of time, Representing the highest level of domestic range hoods, research and development has encountered bottlenecks in recent years. These brands focus on conceptual hype; Vantage focuses more on stoves and has many styles. In addition to tempered glass stoves, the quality of its products is relatively stable; Rinnai Water heaters are a strong brand in Shanghai, and stoves are also good; Sakura is actually rather awkward in the industry, with no single top-notch product; Siemens’ products are not suitable for Chinese kitchens, and like other foreign brands, will gradually withdraw from the Chinese market; Haier focuses on refrigerators , relying on the pull of the refrigerator to drive the kitchen and bathroom, sales are not good in the secondary market; Herbalife invented the disinfection cabinet, which has a considerable say. In recent years, manufacturers have increased investment in research and development, and the hoods have done well, and they have great potential to catch up. , old and handsome momentum.

In the second tier, Qianke cigarette machines are doing well, with more styles, relatively stable quality, and high cost performance, but they are not well-known enough: Midea is well-known for its small home appliances, but its kitchen and bathroom professionalism needs to be improved. It mainly sells this brand ; Qianfeng's mid- to low-end water heaters are considered top-notch in the second tier; Vanhe's mid-to-high-end water heaters are okay, comparable to Macro, but the workmanship of the hoods is rough and not as good as Midea's; Gehringer's traditional hoods can't compete with other competitors, so they changed the opposite direction to get closer The suction type has certain achievements, and the conceptual things are relatively heavy; Yingxue's performance has been mediocre from the beginning to now, and the manufacturer has been going downhill in recent years; Black & Decker's promotion said that they OEM for Vantage, but my evaluation is that they imitate Vantage without having their own Brand personality.

The third line (approximately equivalent to miscellaneous brands) is characterized by bright colors, good-looking appearance, rough workmanship, unstable quality, and low prices. Most of them are OEM (original label production), and some are similar to famous brands. There is a certain international brand producer on the logo (that is quite deceptive), but in fact their manufacturers are small manufacturers. This type of product can be found in general street stores, cabinet shops or overall home life stores. Some brand cabinets also produce electrical appliances of that brand through OEM in these manufacturers.

Industry Honors
1. Chinese Well-known Trademarks 2. Chinese Famous Brands
China’s well-known trademarks are strictly reviewed by the State Trademark Office, especially those obtained in the kitchen and bathroom industry, which are quite authoritative. Some products on the market are labeled as "China's Famous Brands", "Top 500 Most Valuable Brands", "CCTV Listed Brands", etc. to deceive consumers. In fact, they can be purchased with a small amount of money.

The selection of Chinese famous brands is relatively rigorous, but they have a certain degree of utility and are softer than well-known trademarks.

At present, these two honors are relatively formal. The national inspection exemption was hyped by some companies a few years ago, but it was urgently stopped because of the heavy water content.

How to choose a hood

By the way, integrated stoves and near-suction hoods. The predecessor of integrated stoves was called down-suction range hoods. They were eliminated many years ago. The main reason is that There are several points: it violates the principle of thermal aerodynamics; it does not have any oil fume separation technology, making it very difficult to clean and smoke in the future; the smoke stove is integrated and heat is transferred to each other, making the components more likely to age. Nowadays, the so-called integrated environmentally friendly stove is just another word.
The near-suction type has been very popular recently. It has certain advantages. When purchasing, you should pay attention to two points: 1. The air inlet should not be too close to the stove, because when the oil smoke is sucked away, the fire power is also sucked away; 2. The oil net must be a three-layer U-shaped net (at least two layers), otherwise the inside will be quickly filled with oil, which will seriously affect the smoking effect!
|
What consumers are most concerned about is the smoking effect and cleaning performance. Currently, newspapers are basically used to test the suction power at terminals. To be honest, it is impossible to test it on site. The following introduces the key points when purchasing a cigarette machine:
Remember: the smoking effect of Chinese style is definitely not as good as that of European style!
1. First observe whether there is a coating on the outside of the hood (the best material is definitely stainless steel, including the enclosure). Uncoated hoods can be cleaned with steel wire balls and will not rust.
2. Whether there is an oil fume collecting cavity that completely covers the stove. The first step in absorbing oil fume is to collect the oil fume.
3. Is there a large air inlet and outlet? (The oil net can separate oil smoke to a certain extent, but the maximum separation rate is only 70%)
4. The integrated smoke collection chamber requires high technological requirements and can effectively prevent oil leakage from the hood.
5. Whether cold-rolled steel plates are used in the air duct system. Most manufacturers use iron sheets to cover them with paint. The iron sheets are easy to rust, and the weight is lighter. The smoke machine is prone to vibration, and the blades cannot be made wider at the same power, so the best smoking effect cannot be achieved. 5. There is definitely no disassembly-free washing hood. Currently, there are two self-cleaning methods for hoods: one is to wash the impeller with a dishwashing liquid, but the effect is not good; the other is to use a certain brand of heated volute to remove oil. In my opinion, The latter works better.

How to choose a stove
1. Rotary fire is not better than direct fire
2. Whether it has a flameout protection device, the national standard thermocouple shall prevail
3. Try not to choose tempered glass countertops
>4. Whether the flame distributor is made of heavy copper
5. Whether the pot rack is made of strong cast iron
6. Whether the stove head is standard and made of fine iron
7. There is no gas size adjustment gear under the stove Not as good as it sounds
8. Good stainless steel stoves are not edged

How to choose a disinfection cabinet
1. Whether the foam layer is fully filled (heat insulation and flame retardant)
2. Is it an external double-layer guide rail (the double-layer slide rail outside the disinfection chamber is both strong and free of secondary pollution)
3. Is it an ozone two-star or a high-temperature two-star? The best disinfection method is high temperature ( Above 125 degrees Celsius, lasting for 15 minutes, preferably with a temperature display). When ozone decomposes, it will naturally produce negative ions to clean the air. The light waves are easily blocked and cannot be used as an all-round disinfection method
4. The front exhaust hole is still The rear exhaust hole and the front exhaust hole will not make the cabinets damp

The following water heater brands are recommended:

Haier AO Smith Ariston Altron Lin Neineng rate Sakura Macro Vanhe forward Yingxue Hyundai (Qianke)

Make a good budget when decorating. If you are not short of money, you can choose a well-known first-line brand; that is, spend money to buy comfort! If you know how to plan, just buy a second-tier brand! In fact, the quality is no worse than the first-tier brands, but the price is about 20 points lower than the first-tier brands. A three-piece set can save you 1,000 to 2,000 yuan. Buyers who know how to choose will look carefully and compare quality with workmanship. Pick the product you like! This type of buyer should not deliberately ask for something well-known! In fact, some well-known ones just sell a brand, and you can get a lot of money if you buy one that is cost-effective. There is a mixed bag of good and bad among third-tier brands, and many items are OEM manufacturers. Buyers must be careful when purchasing such products
