Don't Rush to Repair Broken Appliances! These 5 Appliances Cost Too Much to Repair, It's Better to Just Buy New
Thrift and frugality are traditional Chinese virtues that have been passed down from generation to generation. Even in today's era of rapid technological advancements, many people's first reaction when faced with a broken appliance is to take it in for repair, hoping it can be fixed. However, in this age of information explosion, we should also rationally view repair issues. After all, some appliances have extremely high repair costs, even more expensive than buying a new one. Rather than spending money unnecessarily, it's more convenient and hassle-free to simply buy a new one.
Below are 5 appliances with excessive repair costs. We recommend that you don't blindly repair them when encountering problems, but instead choose to replace them with new ones, which is a more sensible choice.
1. LCD Televisions
Many people have the unfortunate experience of "not being able to afford to repair" their LCD TVs. The experience of netizen @Bai Xiaoci is very typical. Her 3,500 yuan TV had its screen smashed by a projection screen. The official repair quote for a genuine screen was 2,800 yuan, and there was no guarantee of availability, requiring a waiting period. After waiting for over a month with no news, she had no choice but to find a repair shop online, send the TV there herself, and the screen replacement cost 1,700 yuan. There could be additional miscellaneous fees afterwards, resulting in a total cost of over 2,000 yuan.
Netizen @Xiaosheng encountered another situation. His LCD TV suddenly stopped working, and even after replacing the remote control battery and power cord, it still didn't work. He had no choice but to contact the after-sales service, but the engineer couldn't find the problem after inspection and charged 50 yuan for the inspection.
Such situations are not uncommon. Even when the problem isn't your fault, you end up paying for an unnecessary inspection, and the TV still can't be used. In such cases, it's better to directly purchase a new one. At least a new TV will work right away and you can enjoy a better viewing experience, without worrying about compatibility issues and various minor problems.
2. Water Purifiers
If you were to ask which appliances have the most frequent after-sales service, water purifiers would definitely be on the list. No matter how expensive a water purifier is, it needs regular testing and filter replacement, otherwise it will reversely pollute the tap water and threaten your health.
Many households using water purifiers need to spend around 2,000 yuan per year on after-sales service and filter replacement, even if the water purifier hasn't had any issues.
Therefore, we suggest: If your home water purifier breaks, just buy a new one! If you really don't want to buy a new one, you can consider switching back to bottled water. It's just as hygienic and healthy as small bottled mineral water, and there are no additional costs. It can also improve your home life happiness index.
3. Smart Toilet Seats
As our living standards improve, more and more people are pursuing the comfortable experience of smart toilets. But smart toilets are not cheap, and many people want to enjoy smart features without spending too much money, so they choose to use smart toilet seats.
Smart toilet seats can indeed bring smart features to ordinary toilets, significantly improving the toilet experience. However, smart toilet seats have a fatal flaw, which is that they are affordable to buy but not to repair.
Netizen @Shandong's Li Xinshng encountered this situation. His smart toilet seat broke, and because it was past the warranty period, he had to pay for repairs himself. He thought he could just spend a little money to fix it, but the repair quote was a whopping 800 yuan. Considering that he originally bought the smart toilet seat for 1,000 yuan, and it was only the motherboard that was broken, the repair cost accounted for 80% of the purchase price.
Therefore, if your home smart toilet seat breaks, whether or not to repair it should be considered beforehand by consulting the approximate cost. If the repair cost exceeds half of the purchase price, just buy a new one. It's not worth it!
4. Air Conditioners
Air conditioners have become essential items in most households, but few people choose to repair them, especially when encountering complex problems. Air conditioner repair costs are high, especially for those living in high-rise buildings because the outdoor unit is connected to the exterior wall, requiring high-altitude work fees. Each time a technician comes to repair it, it costs two to three hundred yuan.
Nowadays, you can buy a good air conditioner for two or three thousand yuan. The money spent on repairing an air conditioner is enough to buy a new one. Plus, a new air conditioner offers a better experience and can be used for several more years.
5. Electric Water Heaters
Those who have repaired electric water heaters can relate: electric water heaters are simply too expensive to repair!
The electric water heater repair industry is plagued by minor problems, requiring regular descaling and replacement of magnesium rods, each time costing one to two hundred yuan. Moreover, there are many complex issues, often requiring the worker to diagnose and fix the problem on the spot. If it can't be fixed in one visit, you have to pay for another visit.
In short, the cost of repairing an electric water heater is very high. It's more convenient and hassle-free to simply buy a new one rather than repeatedly repairing it.
In Conclusion
Besides the 5 appliances mentioned above, there are many other common appliances that have high repair costs. Before repairing a household appliance, we recommend that you consult the repair cost beforehand to see if it's worth it. If the repair cost is too high, just buy a new one! After all, buying new is hassle-free and offers a better experience. Why not do it?
