A fruit drying machine made me think seriously about how to avoid pitfalls in online shopping

Feb 25, 2022

I was too depressed a while ago, and I wanted to make my heart feel better by shopping. My mother just said that I wanted to buy a fruit drying machine. As a result, I was in a state of worry and fell into the trick of the OEM. I usually buy small Home appliances are obviously very cautious, and they will go to a certain treasure to investigate first, but this time they are completely blinded by white goods

After I bought it, I went to a treasure to see it. For the same machine, I saw three color schemes and three OEMs, American xxxxx, Japanese xxx, and British xx. Anyway, at first glance, it looks tall. The advertisement I bought is very big, and many bloggers , Internet celebrities, and YouTubers all have group purchases. The original price is close to 3000. The group purchase price was 2290 last year and 2390 this year. The special price of a certain treasure with a British brand is only 339 yuan (indicating that the cost of large-scale purchases is lower than this figure). Based on the workmanship, materials and functions of this machine (the fruit dryer is actually a low temperature oven with a fan at 30~80 degrees), I think the price is quite reasonable

It is one thing to spend more money. The products I received also had serious tolerance defects. The grilling mesh did not match the tolerance of the inner wall, so the grilling mesh could not be plugged in. The inner wall was scratched before I started to use it. Two or three thousand Yuan's electrical assembly quality shouldn't be like this, right? Some other users also disclosed the conditions they encountered. At first, they felt that the quality control was not very good. Later, the FB discussion area of this product also set the board gauge limit to only discuss the use of the fruit dryer, but not the conditions. , you can only find the manufacturer directly, so the discussion forum will not see the discussion thread of the machine problem later...

Later, after contacting the manufacturer, they exchanged it for me, just because I bought it for my elders, so I couldn't help it during the second inspection. I think the price difference is probably because the after-sales service is easier to contact. Pipeline? Buying electrical appliances for elders is more important to facilitate maintenance. Buying from a treasure is to bear the risk of parallel imports. Otherwise, there are actually several fruit dryers in a treasure that are very similar to those seen on the market in Taiwan. Some treasures have some Sellers can also customize 110V
