Following Samsung Electronics, Korean home appliance companies such as LG Electronics and Shinil Electronics began pouring out relatively inexpensive low-end products as they scrambled to launch an all-in-one robot vacuum cleaner.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics is gearing up to launch its own comprehensive vacuum cleaner within the first half of this year. Additionally, several local small and medium-sized enterprises, including Shinil Electronics and Kuku Homes, are also poised to introduce their versions of an all-encompassing robot vacuum cleaner.Chinese companies have faced unprecedented competition due to the participation of domestic companies. This is why they responded with a low-cost offensive by introducing new low-end products in a hurry

EcoVax’s recent meeting on the 7th showcased their commitment to expanding their product range with the introduction of four new products, including the ‘Divot T30 Pro Omni’. Priced at 1.39 million won, this model is positioned as a more affordable option compared to the premium ‘Divot X2 Pro Omni’, which is priced higher by about 500,000 won.

The ‘Divot T30 Pro Omni’ is part of EcoVax’s strategy to offer a diverse lineup catering to different market segments. The T-Series and N-Series represent their premium and entry-level offerings, respectively¹⁴¹⁵. The upcoming Y-series aims to provide an additional choice within the N-series-level price range, making smart cleaning technology more accessible.

EcoVax’s approach to the ‘Divot T30 Pro Omni’ focuses on delivering essential cleaning functions without the added cost of advanced features found in their higher-end models. This allows them to offer a competitive price point while still providing the quality and performance the brand is known for.

Roborak is also expanding its Q series, which sells entry-level products. A case in point is the all-in-one robot vacuum cleaner “Roborak Q Revo,” which was introduced at a factory price of 1.29 million won in December last year.
