[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has brought hygiene in the surrounding environment to the forefront, the home appliance industry continues to benefit from the surge in demand for related products.

According to the industry on the 8th, Samsung Electronics recorded its highest-ever domestic sales performance for dryers in July, during the ongoing spread of COVID-19, emerging as a key product in the home appliance sector.

The Grande Dryer AI features the 'Air Sterilization+' function, which removes 99.9% of harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, and can completely eliminate dust mites that cause allergic reactions.

It is also characterized by adding a 'Micro Safety Filter' to the existing filter to minimize dust going to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger connection part is specially coated to prevent rust, and there is no residual water, eliminating concerns about bacteria or odors, allowing for hygienic management without worry about germs.

The AirDresser clothing care system is also gaining popularity by effectively removing harmful bacteria and substances using 'Jet Steam'. When the 'Sterilization Course' is applied, it can remove not only dust mites that can cause respiratory diseases but also mold and allergy-causing bacteria.
