[STEP1] 빨래 건조기에 대해 이야기해 주세요.

우리나라 대부분의 가정에서는 빨래를 건조대에 널어서 말리는 것이 흔한 일이었다. 그러나 최근에는 건조기가 점점 대중화되고 있다. 가격도 저렴해지고 설치가 용이해지면서 점점 보편화되고 있는 추세다. 건조기를 사용해 본 사람들은 대부분 극찬을 아끼지 않는다. 건조기의 최대 장점은 빨래하는 시간을 줄일 수 있다는 것이다. 건조대를 둘 공간을 마련할 필요가 없어서 미관상으로도 더 깔끔하다. 두꺼운 이불도 몇 시간이면 완전히 건조가 된다.

Talk about dryers.

In most Korean households, it was commonplace to dry laundry on a drying rack. However, dryers are becoming more widespread lately. The prices have dropped, and they are easier to install. More and more, they are becoming the norm. Most people who have used dryers speak highly of them. The biggest advantage is that you can save time when you do the laundry. You don't need to make space for a drying rack, so it also looks neater. You can even dry a heavy blanket in just a few hours.

대한민국 전자 제품 기업들은 지난 몇 년 사이에 '스타일러' 혹은 '에어 드레서'라는 제품을 출시했다. 이 제품 아에 옷을 걸어 두면 안 좋은 냄새가 없어지고 주름도 펴져서 무척 획기적이다. 옷에서 좋은 냄새가 나게 하는 효과도 있다. 빨래나 다림질을 하는 시간을 아끼게 되어 생활을 정말 편리하게 해 주는 제품이다. 또한 옷을 세탁소에 맡길 필요가 없어서 세탁비를 절약할 수 있다. 이 제품들은 불티나게 팔리고 있다. 제조사들은 국내 시장 뿐만 아니라 전 세계 시장 공략에도 나서고 있다.

Talk about electronic wardrobes.

In the past few years, Korean electronics companies have released products called "stylers" or "air dressers." They are real game-changers. When you hang clothes in them, they get rid of bad odors and press out wrinkles. They can even make clothes smell nice. Owners can save time on washing or ironing clothes. This makes them really convenient. It also means you don't need to have clothes laundered, so you can save on your laundry bill. These products are selling like hot cakes. The producers are taking aim at not only the domestic market, but the global market as well.
