Which air conditioner is better, Midea or Xiaomi?

To discuss the quality of air conditioning, we must first talk about the compressor, an important part of air conditioning. As far as small rolling rotor compressors are concerned, they are mainly produced by gmcc (Midea), Lingda (Gree) and Lihai (Haier) in China.

Gmcc: A joint venture between Midea and Toshiba.

Lingda: Gree's company.

Li Hai: A joint venture between Shanghai Electric and Hitachi.

Basically, large air-conditioning enterprises have their own supporting compressor enterprises.

Obviously, in terms of technology accumulation, Midea air conditioner is better than Xiaomi air conditioner. The OEM of Xiaomi air conditioner is Changhong, and the technical support comes from Zhuhai Sanyou Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., a technology company with Gree background. Its products include split machines, cabinet air conditioners and special air conditioners. Founder Xiao Youyuan was the overseas sales director of Gree and the president of Skyworth Air Conditioning Division.

The selling point of Xiaomi air conditioner is smart home and cost performance, but now traditional manufacturers have also introduced intelligent products. But I think air conditioners pay more attention to reliability and after-sales, rather than cost performance. As far as after-sales are concerned, Midea is definitely a few blocks away from Xiaomi. Because the installation and after-sales team of Xiaomi air conditioner is outsourced. Maybe you bought a millet air conditioner, and you came to a beautiful installer haha.

As for Gree air conditioners, the quality of low-end machines is not better than other domestic machines. Under the leadership of Aunt Dong, the price of high-end models is almost as expensive as that of joint venture brands. Why not just buy Daikin, Toshiba, Mitsubishi and Hitachi?

I have a say in this. There are three brands of air conditioners in my home: Midea, Gree and Xiaomi. Compared with winter use, there is little difference among the three heating companies, but the intelligence level and price of Xiaomi definitely beat the other two.

There is no difference in the quality of air conditioning now, it is all the same, whoever is cheaper will buy it.

Let's start with the conclusion: Midea air conditioner is better.

Midea Air Conditioning The most prominent advantage of Midea Air Conditioning is inverter air conditioning, which adopts the technology of Toshiba, a Japanese air conditioning brand. Gmcc compressor and frequency conversion technology are definitely among the best in China, with strong temperature control ability, good quality control and workmanship, and complete after-sales service.

Therefore, Midea is definitely a domestic first-line brand in the field of air conditioning, and it is also called the "Big Three" of air conditioning with Gree and Haier.

Xiaomi air conditioner Xiaomi air conditioner is basically a "OEM" product, which means that the manufacturing technology of air conditioner is not developed by Xiaomi itself, but produced by Changhong, TCL and Meiling.

Changhong, TCL, Meiling and other brands, in the field of air conditioning, can only be regarded as domestic second-line brands, with low compressor technology and average quality.

In this contrast, if you ask which air conditioner is better, Midea or Xiaomi? That's definitely not considered. Beauty is better.

Moreover, under similar parameters, the price of Xiaomi air conditioner is cheaper than Midea air conditioner 1/3. To put it bluntly, air conditioning is "a penny for a penny". Unless the material is shrunk, it is impossible to make a better product at a lower cost.

Air conditioning does not have much technical content, and the technology is mature. As long as you don't cut corners, the quality is fine, and the price is just the added value of the brand.

Let me tell you one thing as a home appliance industry. If only these two comparisons are made, it will definitely be beautiful. Anyway, the United States has been doing air conditioning for decades. Xiaomi air conditioner is contracted by Changhong. Just in 18, my friend bought a millet air conditioner, model 4299, which can be cooled and silent in summer. Speaking of winter, the heating is still ringing if it is not hot enough! After-sales inspection, I turned it over and said it was normal. Then I couldn't solve it, so I had to put up with this indoor machine. Midea air conditioners are basically polarized. The air conditioners purchased in the first four or five years were basically not feedback, but in the past two years, the number of customers returning to the United States has gradually increased. Beauty as a domestic front line is really cheap, but doing everything has a low reputation. Still rubbing like Xiaomi. If you want to buy an air conditioner, it depends on your financial strength. It is right to choose Gree over 4000 yuan, Haier around 3500 yuan, Kelon 3000 yuan and Kelon 3000 yuan. As for Xiaomi 1999 yuan air conditioner, I can only say that I will buy it if I have no money, and I would rather add 2,500 yuan to buy Kelon. The price of air conditioner mentioned above is 1.5, which is a comparative price of first-class energy efficiency and has self-cleaning function. Summary: Kelon is selected at the low end, Haier at the middle end and Gree at the high end. These three factories are still willing to use materials.

If we just compare the two, it is beauty.

First, there is no doubt that after all, beauty is made of household appliances, and its corporate background and market share far exceed that of Xiaomi. Xiaomi is just a monk who became a monk halfway, or a showstopper in traditional industries. The core competitiveness of products is not Xiaomi's primary consideration, and his core is still in technology products.

Second, Xiaomi's more selling points are still in intelligence and the Internet of Things. In this regard, Xiaomi can be said to be the best and largest enterprise currently doing. Although Midea is also doing its own IoT ecology, its products and ecosystems are not as good as Xiaomi's.

Third, if we return to the topic of air conditioning, it will be different. Air conditioning is the core. What is this?

① Refrigeration (heat)

If that's all, then all air conditioners on the market can do it.

② Refrigeration (heat) efficiency

This is a core competitiveness, which is what we often say, "How long can air conditioning cool a room (or person)?" If you want to cool down quickly, you have to choose more brands with core technologies. At least Xiaomi's current efficiency is not as high as that of the United States.

③ Energy consumption

If the efficiency is slow, but the final result is the same, it shows that a good air conditioner can reach the target temperature in half an hour, and a general air conditioner takes 2 hours. However, compared with the 10 hour of air conditioning, efficiency has no right to speak on this topic. Then the energy consumption problem is a more core issue.

"How many kWh does the air conditioner use in one night?" This is what consumers care about.

After all, air conditioners are big consumers of electricity. For summer in high temperature areas, almost all air conditioners work on 007 principle. Therefore, it is a very serious problem whether it is thousands of electricity bills or hundreds of electricity bills a month.

Compared with Xiaomi, the core competitiveness of these air conditioners is not as good as that of the United States. If air conditioning is recommended at present, it is still beautiful.

When my parents' home was decorated, I bought 3 100 gree and 1999 millet experimentally. The results are as follows:

1, heating capacity: Gree > Xiaomi, do not turn on the auxiliary heat. Turn it on before going to bed 15 minutes. Both rooms are already very hot.

2. Comfort: Gree > Xiaomi. Sudden stop and emergency opening sound, affecting sleep. In addition, Gree's parting shot feels softer (").

3. External noise. When the external machine was installed, Xiaomi brought its own damping pad, but Gree didn't, so it cost 40 yuan to buy the damping pad. At present, the external noise is very satisfactory, and there is almost no sound (note that the word sound is used instead of noise).

4, internal machine noise, 1999 yuan noise is really big, wind noise.

4, power consumption, untested.

After being installed for 2 months, my parents said that the rest of the air conditioners were installed with Gree.

Personal opinion: Personally, I think the price of 1999 yuan is absolute, but as a rice noodle that bought 20,000 meters of domestic products, I still choose Gree because the after-sales service of Xiaomi is too slow.

I don't think there is comparability. Why do you say that?

1. As far as technology is concerned, Midea's air conditioning technology is not lost to Gree, or even surpassed. In addition to boasting, Gree also deeply saw the research and development capabilities. I can only say that the efficiency of state-owned enterprises (not long ago) is really fatal. On the other hand, it is no exaggeration to say that the R&D efficiency of Midea is different. In addition, have you found that beauty has become more and more low-key in recent years? This means that you have already started research. What is Xiaomi air conditioning technology? What's there? What's there? I don't even have my own professional R&D team. I rely on stickers.

2. As far as manufacturing technology and technology are concerned. Midea has a professional manufacturing factory and a complete set of supporting industrial chains. And what does Xiaomi have? What's there? What's there? There is no professional team, all by posting.

3. Quality system. Large-scale industrial production and perfect quality system are the reliable guarantee of product quality. Without a perfect quality system, standard requirements, testing methods and equipment, it is all empty talk. Does Xiaomi have these beautiful women? Really? Really? Xiaomi didn't, it all depends on stickers.

Of course, Xiaomi also has its own advantages, reserve price, some innovations in intelligence and so on.

It must be Gree's good. Midea and Xiaomi are both produced in the United States, and neither will do. Domestic air conditioners, only Gree.
