Kitchen appliances will be labeled with energy efficiency

It is reported that the energy efficiency levels of electric fans and rice cookers are divided into 3 and 5 respectively, of which the highest energy efficiency of level 1 indicates the most energy saving, while the energy efficiency of level 3 and energy efficiency of level 5 are the thresholds for entering the market, which means lower than this. A smashing 5-level electric fan and rice cooker will be eliminated after one year.
Visiting some appliance stores found that, except for a few brands that have not yet posted this energy efficiency label, most of the newly listed electric fans and rice cookers have been labeled with energy efficiency “ID cards”. “In order to promote low-carbon consumption, we pay more attention to the introduction of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products. About 80% of the fans and rice cookers that have entered the market have already been labeled.” Dongguan Guomei, a person in charge of the relevant department, responded.
In addition to the above small household appliances, the country is brewing to implement an "energy efficiency labeling system" for more small household appliances. The relevant person in charge of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association recently revealed that due to the large number of small household appliances, the formulation of energy efficiency standards is relatively arduous. It is expected that energy efficiency standards including small household appliances such as microwave ovens will be introduced this year.
market prediction:
“After the improvement of energy efficiency threshold, producers will be required to improve their technical level to varying degrees, and market competition will further become more intense. Small brands that cannot adapt to the market may face considerable pressure or even be eliminated, but the impact on prices is relatively Not big.” Dongguan Suning Market Planning Department believes that the current strong brand in the kitchen power market has reached or approached this standard. The rise in home appliance prices is mainly driven by the rising prices of raw materials, and small household appliances are no exception.
Dongguan Gome said that the average price of small household appliances has generally increased last year. After the implementation of energy-efficient system, manufacturers must increase investment in research and development, improve the process to reduce energy consumption, and increase the price of technology, and the price will naturally rise accordingly. Coupled with the cost of testing and printing energy-efficient labels, "factory spending will be even greater."
Unlike the continuous decline in the price of air conditioners, the price of small household appliances may rise by about one to two percent in the future.
Market Reaction:
Different from the emphasis on whether air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. are energy-saving, consumers generally have a colder view of the energy efficiency of small homes.
"Small household appliances such as rice cookers are not used all the time. It should not be used much. Even if you buy a more expensive one, you don't know when to save it?" The middle-aged lady who bought rice cooker at the Hongfu store in Nancheng was like this. Reply. Some respondents agree with Xiaojia's energy efficiency label, but they also clearly stated that they usually look at the price, function and appearance of small household appliances. However, they rarely look at the energy efficiency label. In this regard, they are not particularly concerned. Develop this habit. Little is known about what is an energy efficiency label and how it is differentiated between levels.
Energy efficiency label will boost the sales of small appliances. Although the consumer's reaction is a bit cold, the store is more enthusiastic about this, which shows that the ice is on one side and the flame is completely different.
According to Guo Jian, assistant manager of marketing department of Suning, the current average household has 4 to 5 small household appliances. Compared with 10 to 12 households in Europe and America, there is still a big gap, but with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and The emphasis on quality life, small household appliances consumption is showing a momentum of rapid growth, up 40% to 50% compared with last year, of which hoods and stoves are even more bullish 50% to 60%, while soya-bean milk machine, purple clay pot, microwave oven and induction cooker are all The growth is strong. The growth rate of small appliances is almost comparable to that of digital 3C.
Several major stores have said that the identification of small household energy efficiency will make consumers more worry-free in purchasing. At the same time, in the future, in promoting low-carbon household appliances, small household appliances will gradually be included in the scope of promotion activities. Under the favorable trend of consumption, it will help push up the consumption of small household appliances.
Small household appliances can not save energy. In fact, small appliances are also small consumers. According to the relevant technical personnel of the above-mentioned stores, the power of general induction cookers and heaters is between 1000 and 2000 watts, or even higher. The power consumed by a hot pot in a household induction cooker is basically 4 days working with an ordinary refrigerator. The power consumption is quite the same, and if you choose the induction cooker with the energy efficiency label, you can save a lot of power.
Take a 2-level energy-efficient, 500-watt rice cooker as an example. Its efficiency value is 82% according to requirements. If it is used for 1.5 hours per day and 365 days per year, it can save about 25 degrees for the whole year. In the year, it can save about 100 degrees.
