It is understood that in the old home appliances, color TV recycling price is relatively high, 29-inch to sell 150 yuan, 21-inch 100 yuan, while the small home appliances "quotations" are lower, a broken rice cooker often Can only sell one or two dollars. In the words of Ms. Deng: “The sale of more than 4000 yuan in smart TVs sold 100 pieces. I really feel a bit reluctant to go home and get in the way. Let's give it away. Everybody buys new appliances. Don’t be old. I really don’t know what to do.” Of course Some people choose to let these over-age appliances continue to "serve". Zhang Aniang said: "The new three years, the old three years, and the three years of supplements, television can see the image is over, no bad do not have to get new."

Appliances also have a "shelf life"

These "overage" appliances not only occupy local and unsightly eyes, but long-term "overage service" home appliances may also cause harm.

The person in charge of the Appliance Repair Association believes that the function of "overage" household appliances will be greatly reduced. For example, the deterioration of refrigerators will lead to a large number of bacteria, air conditioner "overage" will lead to leakage of refrigerant, etc.; secondly, the power consumption will increase greatly. Generally speaking, over 10 years of ageing household appliances will consume more than double the power consumption. Third, it is not conducive to the health of consumers. In general, microwave ovens will exceed the useful life by two to three times, and “ "Overage" air-conditioning products can easily induce respiratory diseases due to the growth of bacteria; finally, "overage" appliances may be at home as a "time bomb", aging components, circuit short circuit, etc. can easily cause an explosion and fire.

In fact, home appliances and foods also have a “shelf life”, and “General Requirements for the Use of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances for Safe Use and Recycling” has clearly defined the age of use of home appliances. Among them, color TV sets and air conditioners are for 8 to 10 years. 8 years for washing machines and vacuum cleaners, 12 to 16 years for refrigerators, 10 years for rice cookers, fans, microwave ovens, and less than 8 years for small household appliances.

The recovery system is still not sound It is understood that at present, China still does not have a complete system for the recovery and disposal of used household appliances. The number of regular recycling plants in the country is also extremely limited, especially after the old-for-new policy was stopped early last year. Recovery is almost at a standstill. Some industry experts stated that: China's annual elimination of 50 million sets of old and discarded home appliances, and the establishment of a complete recycling system for old home appliances not only concerns the vital interests of each consumer, but also helps manufacturers reduce costs and realize resource recycling. It is understood that many companies already have their own home appliance recycling production lines, but when docking with waste recycling companies, they have encountered some obstacles. Currently, the waste recycling industry is not formal, and the reputations are mixed. This is the biggest experience when establishing and improving home appliance recycling systems. difficult. From the current point of view, how to make "overage" appliances useful, but also need the community's further attention and consumer's active cooperation, so that the recycling of used appliances recycling large-scale, industrialization, not just consumers, all aspects of household appliances supply and marketing can be benefit from it.
