Demystifying the secrets of “overage” hardware appliances

Home appliance replacements are in full swing, though, many people can not afford to share the feelings with the old appliances, but worried that security risks will eventually have to change. However, this will inevitably lead to deeper levels of concern. How many citizens still use this “overage service” home hardware appliance at home?

Key words: Shelf life: "We never heard of the use of the term when buyers bought electricity. We usually use the appliance only when it is broken, but it has not been broken. It has been used for 14 years." Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Hangzhou, said. It is understood that the situation is similar to Mr. Zhang is not a minority of people, ordinary consumers originally lack of knowledge of home appliances, some appliances explain the "Three Guarantees" is particularly clear, but the shelf life of household appliances is ambiguous, sales staff in the promotion of customers Also rarely mentioned. “The useful life of home appliances is related to many issues such as the frequency of use by consumers, the environment, and the purchase deadline. Many citizens have always felt that household appliances can be used as long as they are not bad, and never thought that 'out of service' could lead to safety incidents. For the 'shelf life' of air conditioners, refrigerators and other home appliances, most ordinary consumers are not aware of them.” A few days ago, a certain brand of home appliance dealers told reporters about a case of small disputes caused by the “overage” service of household appliances. When a citizen was using an electric kettle to boil water, the base of the electric kettle suddenly exploded. The citizen thought that there was a quality problem with the electric kettle and asked the dealer to discuss it with the manufacturer. At that time, the staff conducted an inspection of his electric kettle. The reason for the preliminary determination of the explosion was that the actual use of the electric kettle exceeded the useful life of the product. This was an “overdue service” product, so that even if something went wrong, there was no way to claim compensation.

Keywords: elimination is like the above citizens, many people do not understand that home appliances have "service period", coupled with the feeling that the appliances can be used to replace the idea of ​​wasting too much, so that home appliances over the 'service period' is also reluctant to change. It is understood that the color TV service life is 8-10 years, electric water heater 8 years, air conditioning 8-10 years, electric iron 9 years, refrigerator 12-16 years, computer 6 years, electric fan 10 years, gas stove 8 years, washing machine 8 Year, microwave oven 10 years. In the interview, the reporter learned that most consumers still think that "home appliances are big consumer goods. How long it takes to use them will not take the initiative."

However, the person in charge of the electrical appliances in a shopping mall in Hangzhou told the reporter: “The old home appliances used in the home don’t save power, and the environmental protection is not up to the standard. For example, air conditioners used for 10 years consume large amounts of electricity, and are easy to accumulate dust and bacteria. Health is unfavorable: When some home appliances exceed their useful life, their radiation will be two to three times higher, and electric appliances such as microwave ovens, electric water heaters, etc. are prone to circuit aging, and even cause explosions, etc. For home appliances that have exceeded their service life, a safety accident occurs. Manufacturers and vendors do not assume any responsibility."

He suggested that if the color TV in your home has an unclear image, the screen trembles, etc.; the refrigerant leaks from the refrigerator, the running sound is too loud, the operation is more severe, and the power consumption is increased more than before, often seepage, leakage, etc. Problems; air-conditioning appears to start direct spray dust, blown out of the wind doping with musty, or even out of dirty water and other issues, it means that the product is aging, consumers can consider changing.

Keywords: National Standards In order to protect the vital interests of consumers, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China approved the implementation of the “General Requirements for the Safe Use of Household Appliances and Similar Electrical Appliances and Recycling Use” on May 1 last year. Appliance Safety Life Terms and Conditions. According to the relevant regulations, the life span of commonly used home appliances is 8 to 10 years for color TVs and air conditioners, 12 to 16 years for refrigerators, 10 years for microwave ovens, 8 years for electric water heaters and washing machines, and 6 years for personal computers. At the same time, the manufacturer is required to mark the period of safe use of the appliances it produces, which is calculated from the date of purchase by the consumer. Within the safety period specified by the factory's trademark, there will be a safety incident when the consumer normally uses household electrical appliances. All responsibility will be borne by the manufacturer.

According to industry insiders, the government’s policy of “bringing home appliances to the countryside” is currently on the surface to stimulate consumption, stimulate domestic demand, and respond to the financial crisis. However, the practice of “renewal of old” also recovers a lot of outdated old appliances. However, after all, this is not all. It will take a while to increase consumer awareness of home appliance safety. This requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society.
