Can You Imagine A Day Without Phillips?
Such is the contemporary lifestyle that the answer to the above question cannot be anything other than negative. We start our day with a microwave oven, move on to switching on light bulbs, using the food processor, dishwasher, washing machine and many other home appliances during the day. Over all, these appliances have not only made our lives comfortable but provide entertainment as well in form of television or radio. Hence it is only natural to invest in these after a lot of thought and research.
Courtesy of their indispensible nature and regular usage, home appliances do add to the overall electricity consumption and also contribute significantly towards the bill in any household. This makes it imperative for the user to select these gadgets with care and ensure that they strike the right balance between efficiency and energy consumption. One of the ways of doing this would be to make a list of parameters and then find a company whose products match up to the requisites as closely as possible.
The quest begins with gathering information pertaining to the number of home appliance companies in the market and a time saving method of accomplishing this task entails browsing the internet. Having acquired a list, the next step is to ask questions like the past and present reputation of the company, the length of time it has been in business, testimonials, quality, warranty, features and approximate price range. Needless to say, only a few companies like Phillips and Videocon will qualify on most if not all points as these have impressed a number of generations of Indian consumers ever since their arrival.
Nowadays, people have been observed as showing an increased proclivity towards conservation of energy – this trend could be the outcome of a number of reasons like rising costs, environmental awareness and so on. Bearing this factor in mind, most of the buyers tend to select home appliances depending on their energy rating as such a machine would consume significantly less amount of energy as compared to energy-vampire devices which consume electricity even after being switched off.
Consumption of energy also depends on the size of the unit and in this regard both Phillips as well as Videocon have diversified their products to cater to different segments of people. Hence, settling down for CFL bulbs, a smaller food processor or a smaller TV are some of the ways in which energy can be saved. A smaller device would be economical in terms of space as well not to mention the easy portability thus enabling it to be shifted conveniently from one location to another.
Budget is another factor which plays a seminal role while buying home appliances and given the plethora of choices available in the market, it is imperative to set aside a certain amount and then find an appliance which fits within the range. Due to the nature of this niche very often it has been observed that the price of a particular device is determined by its inherent features all of which may not be equally useful. Therefore, the onus is on the buyer to decide which features would be more useful to him and choose a home appliance which is best suited to his needs.
