▎Basic Living Appliances
Air Conditioners:
- The core of home comfort: wall-mounted split units (under 15 square meters), cabinet units (living rooms 25-30 square meters), and central air conditioners (large apartments over 200 square meters). New Class 1 energy efficiency saves 300 kWh annually, and inverter temperature fluctuations are ±0.5°C.
- Refrigerator: For a family of three, a minimum of 300L is recommended; 500L and above reduces the need for cleaning. Dual-circulation systems have an 82% lower odor retention rate than single-circulation systems; air-cooled, frost-free models eliminate the need for 2.3 defrosts per month.
- Washing Machines: 10kg capacity is essential for modern families, with a 1.21 wash ratio and a stubborn stain retention rate of only 37%. In humid areas, choose a washer-dryer with a self-cleaning condenser to avoid secondary contamination from lint.
▎ Appliances that Improve Quality of Life
- Dishwashers: Require a capacity of 13 or more washes and hot air drying. Six-wash models require two washes for four dishes and one soup, and hot air drying improves dryness by 41%.
- Robot vacuums: The golden formula is 2000Pa suction power, 90 minutes of battery life, and laser navigation. Less than 1500Pa will have difficulty handling carpet debris. Pet owners should choose AI-powered visual recognition models to avoid pet feces; they can overcome obstacles with a 2cm barrier, meeting a 90% threshold.
- Projectors: Require a brightness of 2000 lumens or more, 1080P resolution, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. Light levels below 1500 lumens are unusable during the day.
▎Health and Cleaning Appliances
- Water Purifiers: Require true boiling technology (chloroform levels exceeding 2.3 times the standard are not considered true boiling), 1800G high flow rate (full water in 3 seconds), and a 5-year RO filter cartridge (saving 68% on replacement costs). Choose a model with smart flushing to extend filter life by 30%; water with a TDS below 50 is safe for drinking.
- Air purifier: Requires an H13-grade HEPA filter (99.97% interception of particles 0.3μm) with a CADR of 400m³/h (300m³/h for a 30㎡ room).
- Vacuum cleaner: Requires 150AW suction power (less than 100AW has difficulty vacuuming carpet dust), 60 minutes of battery life, and a complete accessory set.
