Akira Appliances: 40 Years of Trust and Care

July in Shanghai is a scorching heat, with the sound of cicadas echoing through the city. As the entire city operates at full speed under the heat alert, in the kitchen and bathroom spaces of thousands of households, Akira appliances are steadfastly protecting the daily essentials of cooking and washing. During this time, uniformed Akira safety inspectors are already walking through the alleys shaded by willow trees and between high-rise buildings. From June to August, it's the time for Akira's "safety check season," a free service that has been ongoing for 40 years. This service, which is as close to life as it gets, uses long-lasting protection to write warmth into the lives of users, interpreting the true meaning of the brand's "artisanal care" philosophy.

In early July, the Akira safety inspection team visited two households in Shanghai. Through the subtle contact with Akira appliances and the conversations between users and technicians, they understood the 40-year trust between the brand and its customers behind the "free safety check" service.

Old Couple's Elegant Home: "Choosing Akira is about this sense of security"

As they entered the first household, the oil painting on the living room wall was radiating a warm light. This was the home of a retired couple, with an elegant decor style, wooden furniture, and green plants, reflecting their pursuit of a high-quality life. "The kitchen and bathroom appliances in our home are all carefully selected," Mr. Gao, the husband, smiled and pointed to the Akira water heater in the bathroom, "Akira is a well-known brand among Shanghai residents. Many of our old neighbors and friends use Akira, and its reputation has always been solid."

Mr. Gao reminisced about the scene of their purchase: "As we are getting older, we buy things for convenience and peace of mind. When we went to the store, the Akira salesperson was very enthusiastic. Not only did they explain the product in detail, but they also kept saying 'You can rest assured, there will be a free safety check every year after the purchase.' Plus, the store is close by, so it's convenient to find help if there's a problem. That's why we decided to buy it on the spot based on this practicality."

As the conversation went on, the safety inspector had already put on shoe covers and opened the tool box. As soon as the outer shell of the water heater was opened, the internal pipes and burners were clearly visible. "Mr. Gao, you see, with frequent water use during the summer, accumulated scale can affect the heating speed and may cause the inner tank to rust. I will clean the排污口 to make it better," the technician explained while using a detection instrument carefully, "I just checked the contact片 of the power plug, and there is some oxidation, which has been gently polished with sandpaper to ensure more stable power supply and extend the machine's lifespan."

From the scale detection of the heating element to the sealability check of the inner tank, from the sensitivity test of the temperature controller to the response speed verification of the leakage protection system, the detection instrument in the technician's hand occasionally emitted subtle beeps. Each check corresponds to safety and durability, from the core heating system to the detailed circuit interfaces, leaving no trace of隐患. "I used to think 'If the appliance isn't broken, there's no need to worry about it,' but now I realize that summer is the peak of electricity use, and it's also a damp season. Pipe aging is fast, and the technician's inspection makes me feel at ease when taking a shower," Mr. Gao commented while watching the inspection process.

For the old couple, the "stability" of the water heater is more important than anything else. "Old people are afraid of the water temperature changing suddenly when taking a bath, especially on such hot days. It's really uncomfortable to take a quick shower after sweating, and the unstable water temperature is a real nuisance," Mr. Gao said. The Akira electric water heater EH303 in their home never lets them worry — it is equipped with an intelligent dual-drive constant temperature design, with two water tanks. Cold water is preheated in the secondary tank before flowing into the main tank, "dual-core drive" achieves two times of heating with one combustion, and the water heats up quickly. "The water is hot soon after opening, and there is no need to wait." What pleased Mr. Gao even more was the ease of operation: "Old people like us are scared of those fancy buttons. The Akira panel is very simple, with switches and temperature adjustment that are clear at a glance, and it only takes one time to remember."

Mr. Gao told the reporter, "The Akira water heater is now an indispensable role in our home, not just because the product is good, but because the service is rare. A 40-year-old brand that can still provide free safety checks every year is not something everyone can do. I hope Akira can continue to improve and better serve us these citizens."
