With the development of industries and consumption upgrades, smart air conditioners have begun to enter the consumer electronics market, and many new selling points have emerged, such as environmental protection, energy saving, comfort, and health, so that consumers are 'cloudy' and unsure how to choose. To understand the mainstream of the market The quality level of intelligent air conditioning products guides consumers to correctly consume and promotes enterprises to increase production. The provincial Consumer Council and the Foshan Consumer Council conducted an integrated comprehensive performance comparison test of air conditioning products from May to August.
Consumers of the Consumer Council simulated actual consumption, and 12 intelligent air-conditioning samples were purchased from the domestic online and offline markets, of which 7 brands were self-positioned as 'smart air conditioner'.
The Consumer Council pointed out that some air conditioner manufacturers have exaggerated their product promotion and are inconsistent with the facts, including some brands that consumers trust.
Grasping the psychology of consumers' attention to environmental quality, some products advertised using 'smart air conditioners can remove PM2.5 or formaldehyde' as a selling point. As a result, the filters installed in the air conditioners themselves cannot remove gaseous pollutants. Declared air conditioning products with formaldehyde removal function, the main function of the configuration to remove formaldehyde module, the module contains particulate matter to remove formaldehyde. However, after comparative analysis of the test results found that the current air conditioning products 'remove formaldehyde' technology Not mature, this function should stay in the propaganda stage and has no substantive effect.
In addition, the Consumer Council conducted a comparative analysis of the test results and found that the overall performance of domestic brands is significantly better than that of foreign brands. The specific performance is in two aspects. First, the domestic brands have more and more intelligent functions. The second is power saving. In terms of individual performance scores such as temperature, mute, and intelligence control, domestic brands also performed well and basically achieved the highest scores for all single items. Particularly in terms of prices, domestic brands' prices were much lower than foreign brands, and their price/performance ratio was more advantageous.
