During the wet season, dehumidifiers are in high demand in Nghe An.

For the past half month, the weather has been continuously rainy, the high humidity has made the floors wet, the brick walls sweat and the clothes washed and hung to dry for a whole week but still not dry, making many people feel uncomfortable. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ai Huong said: "Even though I regularly mop the house with a muslin cloth, close the doors and even turn on the air conditioner, the house is still "sweating", the floor is slippery so it is very inconvenient".

The drizzle and humidity have just begun and are expected to last until April. High humidity above 90% not only causes dampness and inconvenience in daily life but also creates conditions for mold and bacteria to grow, which can cause many health-related diseases. Therefore, at this time, many families have chosen to buy products such as clothes dryers, dehumidifiers, dryers, and air purifiers to ensure the health of the whole family.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Thai's family (Hung Loc ward, Vinh city) has elderly people and children - people who are sensitive to the weather. "During the drizzle that caused humidity that lasted from mid-February, my two children got sick. When I went to see a doctor, in addition to prescribing medication, the doctor recommended buying a dehumidifier with an air filter to place in the house to limit mold and bacteria that cause illness. Therefore, I invested in buying two 60-liter and 20-liter dehumidifiers to place in the living room and bedroom."

To meet the needs of customers, many manufacturers have provided the market with superior product lines, overcoming the humid situation. Dominating the dehumidifier market this year are still some familiar brands, including machines originating from China, Japan, and Germany.

According to the survey, the price of dehumidifiers ranges from 3-15 million VND depending on the capacity. The common level is about 3-7 million VND. Mid-range or higher-end models are usually from 6-15 million VND with more features, the ability to receive voice commands, connect to smart home controllers...

At electronics supermarkets, dehumidifiers and air purifiers are also displayed in visible places, along with promotional programs to stimulate shopping such as: product discounts, free home appliances, free shipping, installation, 0% interest installment payments with a warranty of up to 24 months, and a return support policy if there is a manufacturer error...

Ms. Le Hong Anh, an employee at an electronics supermarket on Le Hong Phong Street (Vinh City) said: “In the past 2 weeks, the number of customers coming to buy dehumidifiers has increased, and sales of this product have increased sharply. Customers mainly choose dehumidifiers for living rooms and bedrooms. In addition, customers who buy dehumidifiers for computer rooms (printing companies, offices that use many computers, etc.) or schools and hospitals have also placed quite a few orders.”

According to Ms. Hong Anh, dehumidifiers are diverse in types, origins and prices. Currently, users tend to look for dehumidifiers with high capacity enough for the space of a common apartment, with large water tank capacity. In particular, models with additional features such as air filtration, ion sterilization and deodorization, clothes drying... are more popular than in previous years.

According to experts, when buying a dehumidifier, consumers should go to a reputable address with a warranty to avoid buying poor quality products, causing unsafety. When using a dehumidifier, the machine should be left in standby mode to protect electronic devices such as televisions and computers.

The dehumidifier should be placed about 30 cm from the wall and the humidity should be set in a safe range of 40%-50% to ensure health. In particular, people should not use cabinets/dryers, heaters, dehumidifiers... continuously for a long time to avoid overloading which can lead to overheating, fire and explosion.
