Phenomenon: I was fooled by the footbath.

On February 1 day, Ms. Lin told the city "123 15" about her embarrassing experience of buying an electric footbath. Last month, Miss Lin spent 103 yuan on Taobao to buy a foot bath device and go home to honor her parents. After using it for several days, my parents complained that it didn't work. It turns out that the "massage function" boasted by the seller is that the feet need to roll back and forth on the massage roller, and the noise is so loud that the sound of the TV is drowned. Miss Lin is cruel. She added 300 yuan and replaced it with a "Qi and Blood Health Machine" with constant temperature, magnetic therapy and far infrared function. But my parents were still disappointed and said, "When you put your feet in, there is indeed a stream of water rushing to the soles of your feet, which feels itchy, but it is far from the massage you remember." As for magnetic therapy, infrared rays and other functions, I have no feeling at all. " After the novelty passed, the "health machine" bought by 380 yuan returned to its original purpose-as an ordinary footbath.

Since June 65438+ 10 this year, "123 15" has received calls from more than 30 citizens, saying that they want their parents to do pedicure at home, but there are so many brands that they don't know how to choose.

Survey: The brands are mixed, and the prices are one after another.

The reporter visited the shopping malls and supermarkets in our city and found that electric footbath is generally available for sale. They have different names, such as microcomputer massage foot bath, active oxygen foot bath, steam foot bath king, water flow qi and blood circulation machine, and so on, and the prices range from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. Basic functions include automatic heating, automatic constant temperature, vibration massage and foot massage; The high price also includes magnetic therapy, health care, nano-antibacterial sterilization and other functions.

On the Internet, electric footbath is also in full swing. On Taobao, 499 1 product appeared after the reporter entered "foot bath tub". Compared with physical sales, the price of online sales is obviously much lower, but the quality is unknown.

The brand of electric footbath is really dazzling. Taichang, Oriental God, Li Xiang, Jing Rui, Keya, Zufu, Langxinte and Huang Wei are countless, but most of these brands have never been heard of, and well-known small household appliance brand enterprises rarely set foot in them.

Purchase: look for the national standard

According to the staff of the Consumer Protection Department of Changzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the electric footbath is a new product, and the country has not yet issued the relevant "three guarantees" regulations, so the after-sales service can only be determined according to the manufacturer's commitment at the time of sales.

In addition, because the foot bath devices are all driven by electricity, it also brings a little worry to consumers: will there be a leakage accident? The person in charge of the Consumer Protection Department of Changzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau said that there are many brands of foot baths. Before buying, it depends on whether the product has CCC or CQC national certification, certificate, warranty and invoice. Try to choose a footbath with more insulating materials and look for the "national mandatory standard" GB.
