In my first house, I installed an air duct machine, which has a really good appearance and wind feeling, and can easily realize the freedom of air conditioning.
It can be regarded as a benefit from it, but if I have the opportunity to decorate, I will definitely not choose the air duct machine again, mainly because, with more and more time of use, the shortcomings of the air duct machine are exposed more and more, which affects the happiness of living, and therefore I regret it very much.
To get straight to the point, let's talk about the shortcomings of the air duct machine, which makes me feel unbearable, mainly the following 3 points!
1. Daily cleaning is more troublesome;
Although the current air duct machine has upgraded the self-cleaning technology of the internal unit, after all, it is still an air-conditioning household appliance, and there will still be dust accumulation in the fuselage, ceiling mouth, air outlet and other places, and the filter plate will also accumulate dust fluff.
Like my home, I haven't washed it once in the front half a year, I feel that the operation efficiency of the air conditioner is much worse, the refrigeration is getting slower and slower, and sometimes there is a smell, and I found that there is a lot of dust on the filter screen, I washed it all afternoon, dried it and then installed it back, which was time-consuming and laborious, and the whole person was tired and numb.
Originally, I also wanted to find someone to help wash it, but the price is really not cheap, and it starts at 220 for a single cleaning, not including the external machine!
One thing to say, after the air duct is installed, it really has to be cleaned regularly, which is also for the sake of our health, only the air we breathe is clean and healthy, so that our body can maintain immunity and not be easy to get sick.
Therefore, compared with the cabinet air conditioner, the maintenance of the air duct machine is really troublesome, painstaking and laborious, and there may not be good results, and the gains outweigh the losses.
2. It is not suitable for families with high and low floors;
There is a saying that if you want to install an air duct machine, you must install a ceiling, which is indeed relatively high. My home is a commercial house, the floor height is the standard 2.8 meters, which is not high, to install the air duct machine to hang 35 cm, plus the wooden floor I installed is also raised a few centimeters, the air duct machine is installed on the beam on the feeling of "within reach", when passing through can obviously feel a short section.
Moreover, the air duct machine has higher requirements for the ceiling, and if the technology is not up to standard, not only the heat dissipation of the air duct machine is not good, but the ceiling is also prone to cracking and deformation. Like the following two netizens:
The air duct machine has just been installed, and the appearance is quite high, but it has not been two months, and the ceiling board next to the air duct machine has cracked, and the two big cracks don't cost a few hundred yuan to repair.
3. The heating effect is the same as not;
Although we all know that the thermal effect of the air duct mechanism is poor, which is not as good as the air conditioning cabinet, when I want to install it, I will always have a fluke mentality, thinking that as long as the number of horses bought is large and the boot time is long, the heating effect is always okay, but in fact this is not the case.
Netizen @珡變Vera, the air duct machine at home is 3 horses, and I feel it when I put my hand on the air outlet, the wind is very strong and it is also very warm, but the living room just can't get hot, and it is still the case for several hours, especially the heating is still concentrated above, and I can clearly feel the warmer airflow above when I stand up and stretch out my hand.
The same is true of my house, I also installed a baffle at home, thinking about letting the warm air blow down, but it still has no effect, when it is cold, it is 30 degrees, and I still feel "frozen hands and feet" when sitting in the living room.
。
Write at the end
Air duct machine and central air conditioning or cabinet can only be said to have mutual advantages, their own home or their own decision, what you like to choose what, Xiaobian is just from the perspective of self-use, air duct machine in daily cleaning, heating effect, space saving, is indeed inferior to the cabinet, but over time, the gap will become more and more obvious.
Well, that's all for this issue, which air conditioner do you prefer? Welcome to discuss in the comment area~
