We publish a lot of reviews on Tech Ticker that ranges from mobile phones to tablets to notebooks but today’s the first time we’re reviewing a hanger! However, it’s not any conventional hanger that you use everyday but it’s the Vuum’s Smart Hanger that claims to keep the clothes bacteria free and deodorizes. The Smart Hanger is currently on sale in South Korea and will hit the US shores in the coming week.
On paper, the Smart Hanger is a really promising concept. The clothes on the Smart Hanger sterilizes and deodorizes itself with minimal interaction from the user but is it that easy as it sounds? We take a look.
The retail box of the device comes with the Smart Hanger, a liquid solution, home USB adapter, car USB adapter, power cable, user manual and a pouch to carry the Smart Hanger.
The Smart Hanger looks like a regular hanger but Vuum has designed it to be compact and portable so that a user can carry it anywhere. Smart Hanger’s power lies in the center with the controls, as it is evident in the image. The hanger features three physical buttons – Power, Low and High mode. There’s a filter at the back and a slot for the USB cable and the bottle that needs to be placed in.
Making the Smart Hanger work is really simple. Just place the bottle with the liquid in the required slot, connect the USB cable with a power source and turn it on. The only option a Smart Hanger a user has to select is Low or High, which will give a quiet or a powerful performance, depending on the option selected.
As for the performance, the Smart Hanger takes advantage of the liquid that helps to deodorize and kill the bacteria on the garment. And though it is a bit difficult to evaluate how effectively it killed the bacteria, the Smart Hanger did help to deodorize the garment. Another good part about the Smart Hanger is that it comes with a car charger that allows users to sterilize and deodorize while they’re travelling.
The Smart Hanger is definitely something that is innovative. But to make it work as intended, you need to have the liquid to kill the germs and bacteria off the garment and the good thing is that the 200ml refill costs about $3.5.
The Smart Hanger sells for 98,000 won in Korea and is expected to be priced around $100 when it comes to the United States on June 25 at the Miami Sourcing Fair at Miami Convention Center.
