Small household appliances are electric tigers, coffee pots consume far more electricity than refrigerators.

The small home appliance industry has become the focus of public attention overnight. Recently, some media reported that "the energy efficiency of nearly 50% of small household appliance enterprises in China is not up to standard." Although this view is not official and its credibility is questionable, it more or less reminds consumers that when buying small household appliances, they should not pursue low prices too much and ignore their energy consumption, because many seemingly inconspicuous household appliances are also the main consumers of electricity consumption.

Consumers pay little attention to energy consumption when they buy small household appliances.

Due to the relatively low price, nowadays, small household appliances come into more and more families and become an indispensable helper in people's daily life.

Not long ago, Miss Wang ran into a little trouble. The coffee maker, which had been in use for more than two years, went on strike. To Miss Wang's surprise, it will cost dozens of yuan to repair it! She thought it was not cost-effective, so she went to the mall and bought a new coffee pot.

More than 200 yuan is just a small expense for Miss Wang, so she didn't care about the specific parameters of the coffee pot when she bought it. When she got home, she was surprised to see the power consumption on the nameplate of the coffee pot, which was rated at 600W, which is not a small amount of electricity for a month at the frequency of making coffee every day.

In fact, there are many careless readers like Miss Wang. At present, there are generally many small household appliances at home, such as induction cookers, electric wok, kettle, electric pressure cooker, and so on, but the vast majority of citizens are "not clear" about the power consumption of small household appliances at home.

There are also "electric tigers" in small household appliances.

Because small household appliances are small, many people think that compared with air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators and other "big guys", the power consumption of small household appliances will naturally be very small. Is this really the case?.

Mr. Wei, a senior home appliance salesman, said that a 218-liter multi-door refrigerator with primary energy efficiency, for example, has an energy consumption standard of 0.48 kilowatts / 24 hours. According to this calculation, under the premise of all-day power supply, the power consumption of the refrigerator is less than one degree in two days. Some energy-efficient refrigerators consume as little as one kilowatt-hour of electricity in four days.

So, what is the situation of small household appliances? An electric saucepan with a capacity of 5 liters, for example, has a power of 400 watts. If it takes three hours to cook soup, it consumes 1.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity at a time. If you stew the old fire soup every two days, then just such a small household appliance will consume 18 kilowatt hours of electricity a month, far more than a refrigerator.

If you use an electric magnet cooker to cook soup or boil water, it will consume more electricity because the power of the induction cooker is very high. Once a high energy consumption product is purchased, the power consumption will be much higher than the above limit.

According to this calculation, if consumers buy small household appliances with low energy efficiency or substandard, these small household appliances will not only bring convenience to your life, but also virtually add a lot of living cost.

When you buy small household appliances, you should ask in detail.

As long as you pay a little attention, you will see that every appliance mall has a dazzling array of counters for small appliances, from egg steamers to water heaters. However, in these small household appliances of different brands and styles, a considerable number of small household appliances on sale have not been affixed with energy efficiency labels so far. When choosing and buying, consumers can only make decisions based on their feelings and hobbies, not as easy as buying large household appliances, and the energy consumption of the products is clear at a glance.

It is understood that up to now, China has released five batches of 19 types of energy efficiency labeling products, including household refrigerators, room air conditioners, electric washing machines, household gas quick water heaters, frequency conversion air conditioners, and so on. There are only five kinds of small household appliances, including storage electric water heaters, household gas stoves, induction cookers, electric cookers and electric fans. There are no clear energy efficiency labeling regulations for other small household appliances, including drinking fountains, disinfection cabinets, electric heaters, soy milk machines, electric kettles, hair dryers and so on.

Industry insiders point out that the energy consumption of small household appliances is not determined by their size, but by the power of household appliances and their use time. For example, a water fountain consumes as much electricity as a TV set, while an electric rice cooker consumes much more energy a day than an energy-efficient refrigerator.

In this regard, some professionals remind consumers that when selecting relevant small household appliances, they must see clearly the energy efficiency labels pasted on the outside of the products, ask as much as possible, and choose and buy energy-efficient products. Of course, when buying some small household appliances that are still not required by the state to paste energy efficiency labels, you should also understand the parameters of the products so as not to be blinded by low-cost or fashion designs. In addition, to choose and buy small household appliances, it is best to buy from large shopping malls with high reputation while taking into account the brand.
