Smart home appliances have higher price for "Chi"

On September 1st, the "General Principles of Intelligent Technology for Smart Household Appliances" is referred to as the "General Principles" for implementation. The "General Rules" put forward specific evaluation criteria for the level of home appliance intelligence, and divided the "Quality" of home appliances into 5 levels, of which the lowest level is 5 and the highest is 1. Smart home appliances that pass the test will all be labeled with smart energy-grade logos. Consumers can distinguish and judge how smart smart home appliances are.

First, there are "intellectual" higher prices With the development of information technology, more and more smart appliances "to enter the room", businesses spread overwhelmingly promote intelligent appliances, product features can not only be upgraded, but also free to add and uninstall software . However, in the face of these numerous features, consumers are looking at the flowers in the fog.

In Xinbai Electric, a 47-inch smart cloud TV is priced at nearly RMB 10,000. This price is enough to buy two ordinary TVs of the same size. The price difference is astonishing. On the side of the Purchasing Guide, said: "Smart TVs can not only be downloaded from the Internet, but also can achieve voice-activated remote control." Coincidentally, small household appliances are not behind, a smart soya-bean milk maker is 600 yuan higher than regular soybean milk machines. "Ordinary can only make a soy milk, and smart but there are many additional features, and can achieve a key production, very convenient." Purchasing guide recommended to reporters. At Mega Mall Shopping Plaza, the reporter saw a floor-standing fan with remote control and timing, with a price of more than 700 yuan. The price of the same brand without a remote control and regular standing fan was only one or two hundred yuan.

Intelligent appliances of all home appliance stores have been gradually affixed with smart rating labels, compared with ordinary home appliances, these smart appliances worth a lot higher.

Second, household appliances "IQ" faced with two-way examination of smart TVs, smart refrigerators, smart washing machines, and even rice cookers have smart, smart phones as vendors sell at the same time, consumers can not help wondering: how to be considered smart home appliances?

In the home appliance stores it seems difficult to have a real experience of product intelligence, shopping guide that it is intelligent it is smart, lack of specific evaluation criteria, which allows consumers to buy smart appliances hesitant. Many citizens said that smart devices are not exactly where the smart appliances are, but they are not purely by the "purchasing".

Third, the industry said: The actual effect has yet to be market inspection With the implementation of smart home appliances GB, smart home appliances have been gradually affixed smart smart labels, consumers can buy home appliances can be directly distinguished and judged on this basis smart home appliances More "smart". In this regard, Mr. Ma of Xinbai Electric Dawukou Helanshan Store stated that the implementation of the intelligent national standard will regulate the field of smart home appliances, which can play a standard role in enterprise production, consumer use, and corporate sales. effect. Before the lack of uniform standards, some manufacturers exaggerated the intelligent functions. The implementation of the new national standard will help regulate the market.

However, for the introduction of the new national standard, some people in the industry also raised questions: As the “General Regulations” are not mandatory, and the testing standards do not give a clear line of classification, it is likely to become a marketing tool for some large companies. Will become a marketing gimmick for these big companies.

Therefore, how to refine and deepen it makes it an industry booster rather than a stumbling block, testing the wisdom of all parties in the industry chain.

Some merchants frankly stated that whether or not they can actually achieve the desired effect remains to be tested by the market. On the one hand, the intelligentization of home appliances is closely related to the development of current technology frontier technologies such as the Internet, cloud computing, triple play, and new generation information technology. The industry is changing rapidly. After deciding that the standards have been proved for a long time, they may face an outdated fate when they are promulgated. On the Other hand, the introduction of any industry standard is based on the development of the industry to a certain extent. The current smart home appliance industry is in its infancy. The standards introduced at this time may have certain limitations.

"For consumers, intelligence doesn't necessarily mean that it is practical. Because smart products put higher demands on networking, many features that are limited by hardware may be useless. Consumers should also be able to do something when they buy products. Take whatever you need to avoid being led by the slick concept.” An industry official frankly said.
