CAREPOD Japan Enters the Home Appliance Market with Innovative Humidifiers

CAREPOD Japan: Innovative Humidifiers Entering the Market

The world-renowned brand CAREPOD Japan is set to make its debut in the home appliance sector in Japan, offering three types of state-of-the-art humidifiers starting from late October 2025. The devices include the CAREPOD Cube Plus, CAREPOD One, and CAREPOD Mini, all designed with cleanliness and convenience in mind.

Brand Origins

Founded by Kim Hyun-joo, a dental specialist and MIT MBA graduate, CAREPOD has built a reputation for prioritizing hygiene. Kim recognized the hygienic concerns associated with traditional humidifiers, including internal contamination and maintenance challenges, and decided to address these issues head-on. Over the years, CAREPOD has achieved significant milestones in South Korea, including being ranked first in sales within the humidifier category on major TV shopping channels. It has also garnered accolades internationally, being recognized as one of the best humidifiers by notable publications such as Better Homes & Gardens and Forbes, as well as winning prestigious design awards like the RED DOT Award and the iF Design Award. With total sales surpassing 1 million units, CAREPOD products are already loved in many households.

Unique Features of CAREPOD Humidifiers

1. Intelligent Humidity Control

CAREPOD’s patented ultrasonic technology features a floating oscillator module that automatically senses water levels, adjusting the mist output for optimal humidity levels. This ensures you receive the best possible performance without any manual effort.

2. Easy Maintenance and Cleaning

The internal structure is designed for simplicity, consisting of just three parts: the water tank, the oscillator, and the internal lid. With a filterless design, the inconvenience of filter cleaning and replacement is eliminated, making it easy to maintain.

3. Stainless Steel Water Tank

Constructed with SUS304 stainless steel, the water tank can undergo boiling sterilization, meaning parents have peace of mind regarding hygiene in their homes. This feature is compliant with both gas and IH cooking methods and has been validated by international testing bodies.

4. Child-Safe Heating System

The CAREPOD Cube Plus employs a low-temperature heating system, ensuring the water stays around 40°C and the output around 34°C. This means there’s no risk of burns, making it safe for children.

5. Automatic Sterilization

The product also includes automatic sterilization capabilities. When the remaining water in the tank falls below 20%, it activates a heating process to achieve sterilization at 70°C. Additionally, a built-in humidity adjustment feature maintains the optimal range of 40-60%, automatically stopping once the desired humidity level is reached.

6. Elegant Aesthetic Design

CAREPOD humidifiers blend seamlessly into any decor thanks to their minimalist design. They are not only functional devices but also add to the aesthetics of your space.
