"We planned to buy a new house when our first child turned 6, but the plan fell through due to skyrocketing property prices. At first I was quite disappointed but thought instead of chasing an apartment that was out of reach, why not renovate the current one.
Just changing the design a little, buying more decor or replacing some equipment will make the house look like new," Trang confided.
Mr. Phuc - her husband also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to replace some appliances in the house.
New appliances for new spaces
Mr. Luu Trung Kien, director of Flexfit Joint Stock Company - a unit specializing in designing and constructing interiors and kitchen cabinets - said that in the past two years, the demand for home repairs from customers at this unit has increased by 150%.
This entails changing household appliances to suit the new space, as well as replacing old, degraded appliances, especially products used daily such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, etc.
Last weekend, Mr. Bui Dinh Tuan (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) and his wife took the opportunity to go to some electronics supermarkets near their house to preview some washing machine models they were both interested in.
According to him, the current washing machine market is diverse in features and designs, so you need to consider carefully before spending money, so that it meets your needs and is suitable for your finances.
The washing machine that Mr. Tuan and his wife are using has been with them for more than 10 years. The machine still works, but every time it washes, it makes a loud noise, shakes, sometimes moves out of the area where the machine is placed, and sometimes stops suddenly. The clothes do not smell good after washing, even though he actively cleans the machine.
He and his wife also want to buy a washing machine right on Black Friday to take advantage of promotions and discounts because the current clothes of the 5 members are many times more than when they first got married. "There are weekends when I have to divide the clothes and blankets into several washes to finish them all. Not to mention that winter clothes are usually heavier and thicker," Mr. Tuan shared.
It is known that the machine he chose this time is from a Thai brand, with a washing capacity of more than 10kg, which he assessed as "suitable for his budget and needs". He is also considering buying an additional dryer so that he does not have a space to dry clothes and blankets on humid and rainy days.

Living alone in a rented studio in the middle of the capital, Mai Anh Van (25 years old) does not hesitate to spend money to own modern equipment, helping to free up labor. Determined to rent the apartment long-term, she bought almost all the equipment, from TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, microwave...
"Many people think that when renting a house or living alone, it is not necessary to buy a washing machine, but I think that sooner or later you should have one. It saves time on laundry and is not laborious, especially in winter when the weather is harsh," Van said.
Mr. Nguyen Truong Thanh, permanent deputy general director of Casper Vietnam, said that the Vietnamese market consumes an average of 1.7 million washing machines/dryers each year, of which the demand for large-capacity washing machines accounts for 75%.
Grasping user needs, in the winter of 2024, Casper - a brand from Thailand launched a large washing machine line with a capacity of 9 - 10.5 kg for families with many members, who need to wash blankets at home or often collect laundry at once to save time.
Accordingly, with prices starting from 4.9 million VND for top-loading machines and from 6.4 million VND for front-loading machines, users can own a product that supports washing from 9 - 10.5 kg. In particular, Inverter washing machine products from 10 kg and up are all warranted for 20 years on the motor.
The EcoWash+ 2024 front-load washing machine line with 2 models WF-95VG5 - 9.5kg and WF-105VG5 - 10.5kg is equipped with an Inverter BLDC motor for smooth, durable and super energy-saving operation, along with SteamWash steam washing technology that helps kill bacteria and allergens, while also helping to deep clean and protect clothes.
In addition, there are 16 operating programs suitable for a variety of needs. Or the EcoWash+ 2024 top-loading washing machine with 2 models WT-9NB3 - 9kg and WT-10NB3 - 10kg with Diamond drum design to maximize the efficiency of washing large loads.
Extend warranty period
"We want to send a positive message to users by increasing the warranty period and committing to ensure the quality and longevity of the product, being ready for warranty, after-sales service and becoming a companion with consumers for many years of product use," said a representative of Casper Vietnam.

Owning a 9kg washing machine even though she lives alone, Anh Van said she calculated the amount of electricity consumed before buying. "I chose the Casper washing machine because of its price and suitable needs. This machine line is also equipped with a virtual inference system Fuzzy Logic that automatically adjusts the amount of water and time corresponding to the amount of clothes. Therefore, I don't worry that using a large capacity washing machine will consume more electricity and water," Van said.
Accordingly, every weekend, Anh Van will take the time to wash her blankets. As for the clothes during the week, she usually collects them for a few days before washing them in the machine, except for some special items. The 25-year-old girl added that appliances such as washing machines or refrigerators usually last a long time, not to mention that if you want to change models, you can easily sell them on groups, so "there's no reason not to buy them to serve yourself even if you live alone".
