We have already looked at how with clever tricks we can keep our home clean and the kitchen in order. Now it's time to talk about something equally important - the choice of household appliances. In the third part of the series "Grandma used to do this! Small practical tips." I will help you navigate the many options on the market. We'll take a look at how to choose a coffee machine, refrigerator, air conditioner, and other essential appliances so you can make a smart and practical investment for your home.

Coffee machine.

If you have decided to buy a coffee machine, it is most important to first consider what it is: for espresso (standard, automatic or professional), for schwarz (standard or with 3-4 bar pressure), there are also combined models. Espresso machines make the strongest coffee. Their prices vary from BGN 100 to BGN 500. The most important criteria for choosing such a machine are:

• pressure - minimum 15 bar
• cream disk - for thicker coffee with richer cream
• steam, hot water, etc.

An attachment for encapsulated coffee and one for warming cups is considered an additional extra. For more demanding customers, we offer coffee machines, which are based on the principle of coffee machines, but are loaded in advance and save your time and effort. Additional extras are: a display, a system for adjusting the strength of the coffee and the degree of its grinding, warming cups, attachment for coffee latte and cappuccino, etc. Their prices vary from BGN 700 to BGN 2000+. Schwartz machines are for fans of weaker coffee. With them, the choice is between those with pressure and without. Additional extras: on and off timer, heating plate, coffee strength adjustment system, etc. Professional machines are intended for establishments - with one or two groups, with central water supply. The rich range of coffee machines offers a huge selection of models for every coffee connoisseur.

Air conditioner.

One of the most important tips that can be given is that, do not save money when buying an air conditioner, because in most cases it turns out that the cheap purchase turns out to be expensive.

First, familiarize yourself with the square footage of the room in which you want to install an air conditioner, and in the store tell the consultant to direct you to the right air conditioner. The best manufacturers of air conditioners remain the Japanese. Their prices are drastically higher than those of their Chinese counterparts, but the quality is without comment. The most important things to look for when buying an air conditioner:

First, make sure that the air conditioner is inverter

Familiarize yourself with what temperatures it works at, because most Chinese air conditioners refuse to work below -10 degrees

Look at the conversion coefficient (COP), you can tell the good air conditioners by this coefficient, if the air conditioner is below 4.00 COP, then firstly it will not be economical, secondly, it does not have enough power, but keep in mind that the bigger an air conditioner, the more its COP drops. a

Familiarize yourself with the parameters of emitted noise, good air conditioners work up to 30db noise emission

If you buy a second-hand air conditioner, choose one with an original remote because with a universal one you cannot use all the functions of the air conditioner.

Summary: An air conditioner should be a long-term investment, so don't compromise, bet on a Japanese air conditioner, keeping in mind that whatever brand you choose, you won't go wrong. Osaka is not Japanese! LG- are North Korean and Panasonic are not Japanese either, the Japanese name of Panasonic is National!

Hair dryer.

Power is important when choosing a hair dryer. It helps to achieve quick results. If you intend to style different hairstyles, choose a model with a diffuser for volume or with a straightening attachment. In addition, some models have a turbo button and a cold jet. Innovations such as: ionization, AC motor for long-term operation, ceramic heater, etc. deserve attention. The range contains tourist (folding), standard and semi-professional models.

Refrigerator.

One of the most important things to check when choosing a refrigerator is its size. It is good to know in advance what is the space in the kitchen that you have designated for a refrigerator, because it may turn out that the liked and purchased appliance cannot fit there.

Last but not least, the low price should not be the leading criterion of judgment, but rather the energy class, i.e. the degree of economy.

Sewing machine.

If you have decided to buy a sewing machine, first pay attention to the number of operations (functions) that the machine model you like supports. The more the better. Depending on the model, they are from 7 to 100+. They are combined: standard and decorative. In the higher-class models, additional extras are: automatic threading, electronic display, preset parameters for the programs, attachments for "difficult" fabrics, as well as an overlock attachment, attachment for easier manipulations with bulky fabrics, etc. Last but not least, the warranty period and the manufacturer are important.

Iron.

One of the most important things when choosing an iron is the coating of its plate. The ease of working with it depends on it, other important criteria are power and steam. They make ironing even easier, especially on "difficult" fabrics. It is good to ask if the given model has innovations such as: anti-drip system, anti-calc system, automatic shut-off, ionized steam, etc. The range includes tourist (compact), standard, models with steam generators, etc.
