1. Cooling Fans - The Trendiest Items of 2018
Northern Vietnam is bracing for the peak of scorching heat. Apart from electric fans and air conditioners, the market is seeing the introduction of numerous types of cooling fans, catering to various brands and sources ranging from luxury to budget-friendly options.
From Renowned Brands to Affordable Choices
A stroll through a few electronics superstores in Hanoi reveals the presence of cooling fans from famous brands to more budget-friendly options.
Mr. N.T.H., a salesperson at a large electronics superstore on Nguyen Trai Street, Hanoi, notes that apart from air conditioners, cooling fans are currently a 'hot' item drawing considerable attention from customers.
'These days, with the scorching heat in Hanoi, customers flock to the superstore to buy cooling fans. On average, the superstore sells several dozen units per day, offering a variety of options from different brands,' N.T.H. shares.
However, according to N.T.H., most of the cooling fans available at the superstore are imported from China, with very few products imported from other markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, or Malaysia.
Cooling Fans Imported from Thailand Are Rare
At some major electronics superstores in Hanoi, a relatively new player in the cooling fan market is Boss, a brand manufactured using Japanese technology and imported directly from Thailand.
Mr. T.M.T., a salesperson at a large electronics superstore in Hoan Kiem district, reveals that the store is currently selling a line of cooling fans under the Boss brand, which consumers have been seeking and favoring for the past three years due to their quality, technology, and attractive designs, all originating from Thailand.
'These are the air conditioning fans that the supermarket is selling, with 3 main models: Boss - S101, S102, and S106', Mr. T.M.T. shared.
According to Mr. T.M.T., these 3 models of Boss brand air conditioning fans are favored by consumers, despite being slightly higher in price compared to similar products from other brands due to their powerful airflow and very low noise levels thanks to the special technology of the company.
A representative from an electronics supermarket on Nguyen Trai Street, Hanoi, stated that Boss fans are imported directly from Thailand with the casing made from virgin APS plastic, which is very durable and environmentally friendly. Most of the other air conditioning fans sold by the supermarket are made from regular plastic, which is not as durable as virgin APS plastic.
According to this representative, the 3 models of Boss air conditioning fans - S101, S102, S106 use a vertical rotating shaft instead of fan blades like other air conditioning fan models, resulting in much lower noise levels. Unlike traditional air conditioners, Boss air conditioning fans use water cooling technology, so they do not dry out the skin, especially beneficial for children and avoiding respiratory illnesses.
'Boss air conditioning fans use oak wood pulp honeycomb pads to circulate water, ensuring quick, deep cooling and energy saving. On average, they consume 1 unit of electricity every 7-8 hours,' the sales representative shared.
Currently, the 3 models of Boss air conditioning fans imported from Thailand are being sold at prices ranging from 4 million to 7.9 million VND depending on the capacity from 100W to 180W.
These intelligent fans can be remote controlled, adjust airflow direction multidirectionally, and are very easy to move with wheels. Particularly, the 3 models of Boss air conditioning fans have a compact design, suitable for modern, open spaces.
'Unlike other types of misting fans, Boss air conditioning fans balance humidity, do not spray mist, which is a very important technology to avoid damaging other electronic devices in the room,' N.T.H., a salesperson at Boss, shared.
In addition, according to the company's announcement, the 3 models of Boss air conditioning fans also produce negative ions to clean the air and provide natural cooling.
