[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Mid-sized companies in the home health appliance sector are continuously launching various new products that apply innovative technologies tailored to customer needs. They are capturing customers' hearts by achieving spatial innovation through advanced cooling technology or designing structures that allow bottom air intake to help improve indoor air quality.

According to the industry on the 24th, Coway will present the first launch broadcast of the 'Icon' water purifier through Hyundai Home Shopping on the 25th. This new product eliminates the compressor inside the device through innovative cooling technology. It has achieved spatial innovation by reducing its size to 18cm in width and 34cm in depth.

Since there is no compressor, which is the source of noise in water purifiers, it can create a quiet kitchen space. The company explained that it received the international certification 'Quiet Mark' from the UK Noise Abatement Society, the first water purifier to be recognized for low noise.

The Icon water purifier is a smart innovative product equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This product self-diagnoses its condition and provides voice guidance on solutions and warnings for risky situations such as hot water dispensing when abnormalities are detected.

It also features silver care functions tailored to the aging society. If no water is used for 48 hours, it notifies the registered user via an alarm.

Chungho Nice also launched the 'New Hero' air purifier on the 23rd. This new product is characterized by focused purification management starting from the floor air. It was developed with the concept of improving indoor air quality. The product is designed with a structure that allows bottom air intake by being raised about 10 cm from the floor.

The New Hero air purifier features a cylindrical structure that allows 360-degree omnidirectional air intake. It circulates clean air filtered through a fine dust collection filter, deodorization filter, yellow dust prevention filter, enhanced deodorization filter, and enhanced dust collection filter.

It also has a real-time indoor pollution monitoring function. It quantifies the concentrations of fine dust, ultrafine dust, and ultrafine particulate matter separately and informs the user in real time, providing information about indoor air quality. A 'low-noise sleep mode' function that does not disturb deep sleep is also applied.

At the beginning of this month, Kyowon Group introduced the 'Dual Sterilized Water Dispenser' through its comprehensive health appliance brand Wells. This product separates the water outlets for cooking water and cleaning water, allowing customized use according to purpose. It also features a sterilization system that electrolyzes purified water. The company explained that it can remove 99.99% of harmful substances such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella bacteria through harmless cleaning water.
