[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As the summer vacation period approaches, the number of homecationers?people who spend their holidays at home instead of traveling far due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)?is increasing.

According to industry sources on the 2nd, as the number of homecationers rises, household appliances essential for enjoying vacations at home are gaining attention.

First, interest in air circulators for maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature is growing. Shinil Electronics’ 2020 model air circulator attracted attention by circulating indoor air with a high-speed straight wind, maximizing cooling effects when used together with air conditioners. Equipped with a high-output, low-noise BLDC motor to enhance durability, it also reduces energy consumption and electricity bills with a power consumption of 2W based on infant wind standards. A Shinil representative said, “Due to the stay-at-home culture, air circulators are receiving more positive responses than expected,” adding, “We expect air circulators to become a cultural staple in households during the summer.”

In multi-person households, the frequency of cooking at home has increased as people grow tired of delivery food, leading to greater interest in various kitchen appliances. Cuchen’s FlexCook, launched on the 28th, supports more than 10 cooking methods and features multi-cooking functions such as steaming, soup, and stir-frying, covering most kitchen needs. The device includes 120 built-in recipes, allowing users to try a variety of menus. A Cuchen representative explained, “FlexCook is a culmination of Cuchen’s technology, combining advanced temperature control technology with precise motor technology.”

Dishwashing, which piles up after cooking, can be conveniently solved with a dish dryer suitable for multi-person households. Cuckoo’s dish dryer has a large capacity of 40L, suitable for households of up to six people. It features a four-step drying course function that completely removes moisture from dishes with high-temperature hot air ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. A Cuckoo representative said, “Although the capacity has increased, the price was launched in the 100,000 KRW range to reduce the burden on consumers.”

An industry official from the home appliance sector predicted, “With the spread of the homecation culture due to COVID-19, demand for various household appliances is increasing,” adding, “Interest in small to large-capacity household appliances targeting from single-person households to those with up to six members will continue to grow steadily.”
