From radios to black-and-white color TVs, those household products and household appliances that we are familiar with have been eliminated with the progress of the times;
Therefore, when buying household appliances, everyone should also try to buy some popular products, and don't buy those products that are about to be eliminated.
Because there are some household appliances that are slowly used very little and are being eliminated.
In this issue, I will summarize 6 kinds of household appliances that are on the verge of elimination. Hold your wallet tightly and don't get into the pit again
.01
Traditional water dispensers – high hygiene and energy consumption
Traditional water dispensers used to be one of the main equipment for drinking water in homes, but now they are gradually being phased out. This is mainly due to the hygiene problems and high energy consumption of traditional water dispensers.
Due to the upward design of the water inlet, it is easy to enter dust and difficult to clean, and it is easy to breed bacteria and odors after long-term use. In addition, traditional water dispensers need to be heated repeatedly to maintain the water temperature, which not only increases energy consumption, but also can lead to the problem of thousands of boiling water.
As a result, more and more families are choosing healthier and more energy-efficient drinking water solutions, such as installing water purifiers or drinking fountains instead of traditional water dispensers.

Steam mop – cumbersome to operate and limited in use
Steam mops used to be favored by consumers for their high-temperature steam sterilization function. However, in practical use, it was found:
The problem of cumbersome operation and limited use has gradually become prominent.
First of all, the steam mop needs to be added with water and heated before use to produce steam, a process that is relatively time-consuming and cumbersome. Secondly, steam mops are usually bulky and very laborious to use. In addition, the mop of the steam mop is also more difficult to clean, which brings an additional burden to household cleaning.
As a result, more and more households are now opting for lighter, easy-to-use cleaning tools instead of steam mops.

Direct-cooling refrigerators – frost and odors are unavoidable
Direct cooling refrigerators used to occupy a certain share of the market due to their simple structure and low price. However, over time, people found that frost and odor problems were unavoidable, causing a lot of inconvenience to home use.
First of all, the direct cooling refrigerator is prone to frost and needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will affect the cooling effect and energy consumption. Secondly, due to the uneven refrigeration temperature, the ingredients close to the inner wall or evaporator are easy to be frozen and damaged, resulting in waste. In addition, the odor problem of direct cooling refrigerators also seriously affects the preservation quality of food.
Therefore, more and more families are now choosing more advanced frost-free refrigerators or air-cooled refrigerators to replace direct cooling refrigerators.

Kitchen cooler - not worthy of the name, limited effect
Kitchen cooler was once known as a kitchen cooling artifact, but in actual use, people found that its cooling effect was not ideal. Since the cooler is essentially a fan installed in the ceiling and has no cooling function, the kitchen temperature remains high in the hot summer.
In addition, there are some other problems with Liangba. For example, the wind blowing out is easy to blow dust and fumes everywhere in the kitchen, affecting the indoor air quality, and at the same time, if the installation is not in the right place, it may also affect the heat of the gas stove, causing inconvenience to cooking.
As a result, more and more families are now opting for other more effective ways to cool their kitchens, such as installing air conditioners or using mobile air conditioners.
.05
Fixed-frequency air conditioner – high energy consumption and poor comfort
Although fixed-frequency air conditioners are fast and cheap, they are gradually being phased out for two main reasons: high energy consumption and poor comfort.
Because the fixed-frequency air conditioner will repeatedly start and stop with the change of temperature, the power consumption will be greatly increased, and the start-stop noise is also relatively large, which affects the quietness of the home environment. Secondly, due to the repeated start and stop, the temperature control is not accurate enough, and the room temperature is hot and cold, which is easy to make people feel uncomfortable.
In contrast, inverter air conditioners are more accurate in temperature control, less noisy, and more energy-saving than fixed-frequency for long-term use, and at the same time have better heating effects, which are more suitable for family use, so they gradually replace the status of fixed-frequency air conditioners.
.06
Multifunctional drying racks – many functions but not necessarily practical
Multifunctional drying racks were once sought after, and their rich functions such as drying and sterilization seemed to be very practical. However, over time, people found that these features were not as good as they could have been. For example, the drying function tends to dry unevenly and takes a long time, which is far less effective than a professional dryer. In addition, the multi-functional drying rack is large in size and takes up a lot of space, which is not friendly to small apartments.
In addition, the operation of the multi-functional drying rack is also relatively complex, which may be difficult for the elderly to use. Moreover, its price is much higher than that of ordinary drying racks, and the cost performance is not high.
As a result, more and more families are opting for simpler and more practical drying solutions, such as invisible drying racks or dryers, which save space and increase efficiency.
Epilogue:
The speed of upgrading of household appliances is dizzying. When choosing a home appliance, we should not only pay attention to its function and price, but also consider its practicality, comfort and energy consumption. Although the six types of home appliances mentioned in this article were once all the rage, they have been gradually eliminated from the market with the passage of time and the advancement of technology.
