KITCHEN appliances, printers, fans and air conditioners are popular items during the movement control order (MCO) period.
Several electrical and electronics shops said they have been recording good sales since they resumed business about a week ago.
Harvey Norman area manager Quah Cheng Chooi said there was rising demand for fans, air-conditioners and printers at the outlet in Queensbay Mall.
"The weather is humid theses days and with many people having to work from home, we have recorded good sales for fans and air-conditioners, together with printers.
"We have been receiving 40 to 50 customers daily since we reopened our door to the public, and our online sales have tripled during the MCO.
"Many customers have moved towards online shopping as we are offering promotions and home deliveries.
"We have been shipping out between 10 to 20 items daily in Penang, " he said, adding that most of the walk-in customers were serious buyers.
"They already knew what they wanted before coming in, " said Quah.
Among the customers spotted was hawker Por Beng Kuan, 59, who bought a bread toaster.
"Since the MCO started, everyone is a chef at home.
"My family used to eat out in the morning, but now we have our breakfast at home.
"We've been wanting to have a toaster at home and now is the good time to buy one, " he said.
Over at SEC electronics store in Jalan Burma, its branch manager Alvin Lim said almost all the customers who walked in made purchases.
"We closed for about a month and reopened on Saturday.
"Entering the holy month of Ramadan, most of the customers bought cooking appliances such as ovens, " he said.
