Recently, Mr. Wang, who lives in Xiyang County, went to the provincial capital to purchase toilets. After visiting several home markets, he asked Xiao Bian: 'The quality of the 500 yuan toilet in the previous home was always blocked, and it is now good to see the mall. The toilets are so expensive. Is it a long-lasting toilet that must be a big one? Are water-saving toilets really water-saving?'
During the renovation season, there are quite a few promotions for toilets. In addition to rushing into the peak season, we are also releasing new markets for new products.
Then, in an assortment of toilets, how do you choose a good toilet? The reporter discovered during the investigation that many consumers were attracted by prices, but in fact they are not very clear about the characteristics, quality and standards of toilets. , Or subjective impression.
Water-saving toilets are not necessarily water-saving
During the interview, the reporter found that various types of toilets, such as water-saving toilets and smart toilets, are well-received by consumers. Toilet water accounts for about 60% to 70% of domestic water consumption. Among them, flush toilets are the main mode of water use, accounting for the amount of domestic water consumption. For more than one-third of the time, reducing toilet flush volume is critical to saving daily water use. Coupled with rising water prices, water-saving toilets on the market are very popular.
According to the survey, toilets with a displacement of 6L or more currently have already withdrawn from the market. At present, mainstream toilets sold in Taiyuan are all water-saving toilets with 6L or less. Industry insiders told reporters that the water-saving toilets sold in the Guangzhou market are now available. Both are 6L or 6L, and even have a 2.7L water-saving toilet. '
However, the feedback on water-saving toilets was not praised consistently. In the store, the reporter encountered an owner who came to buy a water-saving toilet and repeatedly confirmed the effect of flushing with the salesman. The owner told reporters: 'The water-saving toilet cannot be blindly Pursuit of water consumption. The toilet used in my home was very small. However, because the water used for flushing the toilet was small every time, it was not clean at one time and it needed to be rinsed two or three times repeatedly. This 'saving' became a water fee. '
Now on the market, 3L/6L jet siphon water-saving toilets are mainly used. The price of domestic first-line brands ranges from 900 yuan to 7,000 yuan. The price of imported brands is higher than that of domestic brands. The quality of domestic products is not worse than imported goods. , Even more than imported products, coupled with after-sales service and other aspects, the product sales did not appear the phenomenon of 'foreign moon is particularly round', the domestic brand sales are still higher than the imported brands.
Experts pointed out that in terms of sanitary water saving issues, China does not promote excessive water conservation, but if it is the use of professional technology, so that products with high quality use effect, but also effective water conservation, that natural energy can achieve the best of both worlds. It is not the better the water for the holidays, consumers do not need to pursue the use of 'excessive water-saving' products at the time of purchase, at the expense of high costs.
Make different choices based on personal preferences
In the case of the same flushing effect, cost-effectiveness and specific practicality are consumers' most concern. In addition, consumers also have some personal requirements. Miss Li, a citizen who just planned to decorate a new house, said that the most important thing is the sound of flushing toilets. Don't be too big. Otherwise, the toilet is known to the whole world. ' Ms. Wang who just joined the work said when asked by the reporter that the design was the most important thing for her.
Ms. Wang, who has decorated her wedding room for her son, is full of smart toilets capable of flushing, drying, and even massaging. 'It has been tangled in the purchase of homemade or imported smart toilets. Later I heard that domestic smart toilet technology and Does not lag behind foreign countries, and is more suitable for the conditions of use of Chinese toilets, there are convenient after-sales service, so I intend to buy homemade. '
It is understood that domestic smart toilets, in addition to perfect after-sales, have more than one function sold by countries such as Japan - moisture-proof function. Sales staff: 'The toilets in countries such as Japan generally use dry and wet separation, there is no risk of moisture in the circuit , Only a simple moisture-proof function. For Chinese families, most of the bathrooms have not been treated with dry and wet separation, so the models sold in China generally have a moisture-proof function. Simply put, the highest sealing glue is used for electronic components. Treatment to prevent moisture on the line. '
Purchase toilet needs eye
To select quality-qualified toilets, in addition to the regular store selection of branded products, consumers themselves must have a pair of eye-catching eyes. Experts told reporters that there are four main ways to make a judgment about the quality of water-saving toilets. The first is to look at Ceramic body: If it is a branded toilet or an unlicensed toilet, it is technically not enough, and its firing temperature is only 890 degrees Celsius, so it is easy to cause the body to have a relatively high water absorption rate, and it will turn yellow when used for a long time. Therefore, when choosing a toilet, pay more attention to the quality of the body.
Secondly, when looking at glazes, the outer layer of unlicensed unlicensed toilets generally uses ordinary glazes, which are not smooth enough, and stains are likely to remain. This can lead to a phenomenon in which many flushes do not occur. In addition, not enough smoothness will retain more bacteria. Hygiene. A good toilet will use high quality antibacterial glaze, good smoothness, easy to clean.
Second, the water is the most critical part of the toilet, directly determining the life and flushing effect of the toilet. Many people will find the toilet in the home for a period of time when the buttons appear to be hard, press the bullets do not come up or flush and other problems This means that you have selected a toilet with poor water quality. If the warranty is not in place, you can only replace the new toilet.
Finally, you need to try on the spot: Most store sales stores will generally have trial devices. Consumers may wish to directly try the flush effect of the favorite toilet.
It is necessary to test sitting and touch
The toilet is seen as an indecent move. When choosing a toilet, many consumers feel embarrassed to feel comfortable and sit on the toilet under a wide public. However, people in the industry told reporters that choosing a toilet should sit and feel it. .
'Some customers come to the shop and ask if they can try sitting. In fact, the toilet is the need to sit. 'The person in charge of the Kohler bathroom store said, choose the toilet to try to sit first, because different people's height and leg length is not the same, fat and thin are not the same, You need to find a toilet model that suits you by yourself. Some consumers just look at the style. As a result, the toilet that you buy is too high. When you go to the toilet, you cannot fully touch the ground. It is not comfortable. If the toilet is too short, it will not sit well. Comfortable, it will be difficult to get up.
Buying a toilet is like buying other building materials. It takes care of the feelings of all family members. For example, a man buying a toilet can't just rely on the results of his test, but also the height of the female members. 'If they think height is right,' the same reason, the lady chooses. The shape and size of the toilet ring should also consider whether there are any fat members in the family. Too small a circle can make it difficult to 'look around.'
When a customer buys a toilet, the question of concern is whether it will be contaminated after prolonged use. This is related to the quality of the glaze. The customer looks at the glazed surface of a toilet and can look at its finish from different angles. See if there is any Chromatic aberration, whether the glaze is even. Consumers can ask the store, whether the sewage outlet glazing, and even, you can put your hand into the sewage outlet, touch invisible places have glazed. Hengjie bathroom sales manager also recommends that consumers touch one Touch the toilet, he said: 'The main culprit of the pollution is the glazed surface. Customers can touch it by hand. Qualified glazed surfaces must be delicate to the touch. Consumers can pick a bit, touch the glazed corner, glazed If it is used thinly, it will be uneven at the corners, it will be exposed, and it will feel very rough.'
The use of the effect has to rely on the brand for protection
The most difficult aspect of choosing a toilet is that it is impossible to examine the flow design of the toilet: Whether the toilet can flush away dirt from almost all locations; it is also necessary to save flushing water as much as possible and keep it quiet; also when the dirt falls or flushes, the splashes Will not splash everywhere.
How do consumers know the actual design and operation of the toilet? Many people in the industry are very embarrassed. 'The actual use effect is only known before use, but how can the store make you try it?' Therefore, the industry's support for everyone The trick is to choose the products of well-known brands as much as possible. The sanitary wares of the big brands not only have a well-designed sanitary ware, but also have guaranteed quality quality control. They are also considerate in details such as water seals.
The reporter saw in the building materials market in the provincial capital that many toilet products have been used in this year's slow-down cover plate, which has a popular trend. That is, after the toilet is finished, it is not necessary to carefully put down the cover plate, but it is easy to pull the cover plate. The damped cover will automatically close slowly. In addition, an easy-to-remove cover plate is also available on the market to facilitate toilet cleaning.
It is worth noting that when consumers purchase toilets, they need to know in advance the pit distance (the distance between the center and wall of the toilet discharge pipe) of the toilet seat. A large number of products on the market are for 300mm and 400mm pit distances, when consumers purchase toilets. Need to provide this data to the merchant to avoid mismatching models.
