[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Lotte Hi-Mart announced on the 24th that the number of customers purchasing dehumidifiers in advance is increasing as a hot and humid summer is expected this year.

At Lotte Hi-Mart, sales of dehumidifiers and clothing care appliances increased by 150% and 35%, respectively, compared to the same period last year from the 1st to the 23rd of this month.

Dehumidifiers maintain indoor humidity at an appropriate level and can dry laundry quickly and thoroughly. When purchasing a product, it is important to check the daily dehumidification capacity of each model. The higher the daily dehumidification capacity, the more moisture can be removed during the same usage time. The dehumidification area should also be noted. It indicates the area in which the humidity can be lowered to an appropriate level within one hour. Purchasing a product with high dehumidification efficiency can also reduce electricity costs.

Clothing care appliances are useful not only for managing clothes and bedding but also for controlling indoor humidity. They reduce the hassle of washing clothes soaked in rain by drying and dehumidifying them. On days when laundry is difficult, putting bedding into the clothing care appliance simultaneously sterilizes, disinfects, and removes moisture. Some products support indoor dehumidification functions to manage humidity. When purchasing a clothing care appliance, capacity and size should be the main considerations. For families with many members, large-capacity products capable of caring for five tops simultaneously are highly practical.

A Lotte Hi-Mart official said, “As weather forecasts predict a hot and humid summer this year, many customers are looking for dehumidification appliances that help maintain appropriate indoor humidity. Visiting offline stores allows customers to consult with professional advisors who provide information on product features by manufacturer and recommend products based on customer situations, enabling more reasonable purchases.”
