For everyone, when choosing electricity, everyone will be particularly cautious. After all, electricity represents a major expense and is also a durable item,So whether the purchase is appropriate is not only related to the investment cost, but also to the user experience. EspeciallyAir conditioningAs an indispensable household appliance, it should be given more attention.

However, facing the dazzling models and brands in the market, it has indeed left many people in a trap. In this issue, Andy will share with everyone,Which types of air conditioners are on the verge of being eliminatedIf you buy an air conditioner again, it's best to avoid it.

1. One and one smaller air conditioner

It is believed that few people have conducted surveys. Currently, among the mainstream air conditioners in the market, the sales proportion of each refrigeration capacity is the lowest, with one or smaller air conditioners accounting for the lowest proportion. According to Andy's information obtained from third-party home appliance sales data statistics platforms, one air conditioner, especially the smaller one, is gradually fading out of countless Chinese households.

The cooling capacity of mainstream air conditioners, in order of'Big one', '1.5', and '2'Arrange in order. Actually, it's not difficult to see from this,The "one horse" or "small one horse" air conditioning is already difficult to meet the needs of home life.

In fact, in the final analysis, the main reason is that nowadays, in public houses, even small bedrooms have an area of over 10 square meters. The cooling capacity of the smaller air conditioner is only 2350W, and the cooling capacity of one air conditioner is only 2500W, although it can also meet basic cooling needs(The cooling area of both is generally less than 12 square meters according to the manufacturer's standard)But it is undeniable that in theCooling efficiencyAbove, there are disadvantages.

On the other hand, air conditioners with a capacity of one horse and 1.5 horses are installed in over 10 square meters of bedrooms,Able to achieve the set temperature at room temperature in a shorter period of time.

Install an air conditioner, the picture is a cool one! Cool it quickly

This is the main reason why "small cooling capacity" air conditioners are gradually falling off the altar.

2. Fixed frequency air conditioning

Andy has shared the essential differences between fixed frequency air conditioning and variable frequency air conditioning multiple times in previous topics. And the difference in user experience between the two is naturally not even the slightest.

It is undeniable that fixed frequency air conditioning does have some irreplaceable advantages:

But the reason why fixed frequency air conditioning is rare is ultimately because it has some drawbacks, which are also evident to everyone.

(Fixed frequency air conditioners generally have level 5 energy efficiency, which is much higher in power consumption than level 1 and level 2 variable frequency air conditioners);

(Due to the constant speed of the compressor in a fixed frequency air conditioner, it does not have the ability to operate at low power, so it will continuously "start and stop" with changes in room temperature during operation, resulting in much higher noise than a variable frequency air conditioner);

(This is a recognized disadvantage of fixed frequency air conditioning. Similarly, due to the principle of fixed frequency, its air outlet comfort is far inferior to that of variable frequency air conditioning.).

It is precisely because of these shortcomings that fixed frequency is gradually phased out by the times. (Of course, the elimination of fixed frequency also requires the promotion of air conditioning manufacturers...)

3. High energy consumption air conditioning

Leaving aside the fixed frequency air conditioning with level 5 energy efficiency, careful people will find that,There are also very few households that install Level 3 and Level 4 energy efficiency.On the contrary, primary and secondary energy efficiency are the mainstream air conditioners in the real market.

It must be acknowledged that variable frequency air conditioners with primary and secondary energy efficiency have higher investment costs. Even with high prices, there are still many people investing.Ultimately, it is because the performance level is advanced and directly linked to the "cost of use".

Energy efficiency level, as the main parameter to measure the power consumption of air conditioning, has always been the most concerned factor for users, after all, there is a significant difference between the power consumption of 5 degrees Celsius and 10 degrees Celsius per night. In addition, air conditioning is the most frequently used and long-lasting household appliance in summer, so most households will try to choose primary and secondary energy efficiency as much as possible.

By the way,Similarly, air conditioners with first level energy efficiency also consume different amounts of electricity, depending on the "Annual Energy Consumption Efficiency" index on the energy efficiency label.The higher the annual energy consumption efficiency index, the more energy-efficient the air conditioning is.

4. Air duct machine

In the previously shared topic, some fans left a message saying that duct fans are more worth installing than vertical air conditioners. As a home appliance evaluator, Andy's viewpoint is still very clear:

Vertical air conditioners are more worth installing than duct fans.

This is because the air duct fan,Essentially, it is a one-on-one central air conditioner, which is also equivalent to a hidden cabinet unit. So it combines the advantages and disadvantages of both,The advantages are not excellent enough, but the disadvantages can be magnified.

From the perspective of these shortcomings mentioned above, it is obvious that the air duct machine has some incompatibilities, which makes its situation increasingly awkward. It can be foreseen that the opportunities for air ducts will gradually fade out of countless households.(If the budget is high, choose a central air conditioner with a one to two or one to three option. If the budget is low, choose a vertical one for the living room and a wall mounted one for the bedroom)

5. Small and miscellaneous air conditioners

Do you think there are only common brands in the air conditioning market, such as Gree, Hisense, Midea, TCL, and Ox?

In fact, in China's air conditioning market,There are hundreds of brands of all sizesHowever, some air conditioners mainly focus on the commercial field, so they are rarely seen or heard in home decoration scenes. And there are also some miscellaneous and niche air conditioners that are beginning to enter the field of home decoration.

It is undeniable that it is not the first tier air conditioning,There is a significant gap in the quality and service of its air conditioning compared to mainstream brands.Therefore, when choosing, it is important to consider carefully.

In particular, "variable-frequency air conditioners" have advantages over fixed frequency air conditioners in terms of comfort and energy consumption, but the "high damage rate" and "high maintenance costs" of variable-frequency air conditioners have been criticized by many people.

Therefore, Andy suggests choosing mainstream brands such as Gree, Haier, Ox, TCL, Midea, and so on, provided that the budget is sufficient.
