Every brand claims its product provides safe and superior quality water, leaving consumers bewildered when making a choice.
1. Market Disarray of Water Purifiers: Vietnamese Moms Share Smart Shopping Tips
Every brand asserts that its product delivers safe and high-quality water, causing consumers to feel uncertain when making a purchase.
Browsing through consumer forums reveals common concerns among parents like, 'Is this water purifier brand good?' or 'Should I buy from this brand?' This indicates that choosing a water purifier from a variety of brands is not a simple task. Let's see how 'diaper moms' whisper to each other to find the right product!
Safety Certification - The Guiding Light for Quality and Safety
Safety is the foremost factor when choosing a water purifier. Especially for families with young children, safeguarding health from the early years takes top priority. So how can you ensure that the water purifier you buy produces pure water, safe for health? One of the simplest ways is to rely on certifications from reputable organizations.
Currently, water purifier brands in the market often advertise that they have obtained numerous certifications from Vietnam and internationally. However, certifications from the WQA and NSF are considered the top trustworthy indicators to help consumers find products of quality, protecting family health.
Among them, WQA is the prestigious certification from the Water Quality Association of the United States (a reputable non-profit organization in the U.S. water filtration industry, with the main mission of testing water quality worldwide). The golden WQA seal is only granted to water purifier products that pass rigorous annual testing, meeting the standards for producing pure water.
Meanwhile, NSF is the International Food and Water Safety Association of the U.S., a reputable organization that certifies water purifier products producing pure water and meeting the standards for direct drinking water.
However, consumers need to be very vigilant because not every product from every brand achieves these reputable certifications as advertised. To check, consumers can visit the websites of these organizations to look up brands by name.
MC Minh Trang shares on her personal Facebook: 'If I were asked what device I have invested in for the kitchen that is most essential, useful, used the most, and cost-effective over time, it must be the WATER PURIFIER.'
With the desire to safeguard the health of our precious ones from the early years, many mothers consider a water purifier an indispensable product for the family. Mother Dinh Thi Trang Nhung in Hanoi shares: 'When preparing for the arrival of our little one, ensuring clean water for the health of the entire family is something my husband and I are concerned about. From my research, the A. O. Smith water purifier has been tested and certified by NSF – the International Food and Water Safety Association of the U.S., ensuring safety for human health. The water filtered through A. O. Smith's machine is also tested at the National Institute of Food Safety and Hygiene and meets the standards for direct drinking water. So, I feel very confident using this water for my child.'
Integration of Convenient Features Enhances Comfortable Living
For busy diaper moms who are not tech-savvy, features like filter replacement alerts, water leakage warnings, and operation error alerts are of utmost concern, as they help moms avoid the hassle of frequently checking the machine's status.
Hot mom Pham Thanh Dung shares: 'One of the things I love most about this product is the display screen on the machine's body, letting users know when it's time to replace the filter, no need to remember the regular filter replacement time anymore.'
Moreover, many moms also suggest buying a water purifier with a hot water mode if there are young children in the family, making it convenient for preparing milk, sterilizing bottles, or getting warm water for the baby's hygiene at any time without the need to boil water.
Customer Care Service – Something Moms Should Not Overlook
While the male population often focuses solely on the functionality and quality of a product, homemakers are particularly concerned about customer care services post-purchase. After all, they are the ones directly using the product every day.
Typically, issues arising during usage, such as signs of water leakage, the need for filter replacement, or the machine ceasing to function... are beyond the ability of homemakers to self-repair. They have to call technicians for inspection. Therefore, to avoid troubles, moms often exchange advice on choosing a brand with excellent customer care services: reachable anytime, enthusiastic advisory hotline, professional technicians, quick and effective maintenance.
Daily exposure helps homemakers share incredibly practical experiences in choosing water purifier products.
Choosing household appliances like TVs, refrigerators, water purifiers may seem like a task for the male population, but daily interaction with these products helps homemakers share incredibly practical and useful experiences. In addition to the suggestions above, consumers should also consider other factors such as financial conditions, kitchen space constraints, to make the most suitable choice for their families.
