Hanoi has seen a strong demand for air-conditioners and fans over the past month as blistering heat waves have raised temperature in the capital up to 43 degrees Celsius.
Major electric appliance retailers in Hanoi, such as Pico, BigC, Tran Anh and Nguyen Kim, sell a wide selection of cooling devices this summer, ranging from air-conditioners to water misting fans.
According to a salesman at BigC Thang Long, consumers prefer misting fans this year, which suit their need for power saving and cooling without skin drying effect.
The misting fans, mainly by Sunhouse, Kangaroo and Omec, are sold for between 1-3 million VND (46 – 138 USD).
The retailer has also offered various promotional deals to fuel sale.
Store owners along Tran Duy Hung, Le Van Luong and Nguyen Chi Thanh streets said products vary in design and come with additional functions, while price competition among manufactures proves to benefit customers.
Air-conditioner sale at Tran Anh electronics retailer in Giai Phong Street went up by 30-35 percent against the same period last year with Panasonic, Sanyo, Daikin and Samsung brands among the biggest movers while Pico mart also enjoyed a 10 percent growth in sale.
Pico’s Marketing Manager Vu Thi Ngoc Hue noted that air conditioners with inverter technology designed to save up to 50 percent of energy has been on high demand despite its relatively high price.
Because of the strong demand, some stores are finding themselves short of goods as well as technicians and delivery people.
