separate better?

Depend on

1) space
2) how many people in a family. Large family, separate type will save time doing laundry.

just 3 ppl. stay in condo. space is a concern

1 baby ?

If yes, Get the separated type. Buy the model with the rack that can place the dryer up.

No rack no buy.

Why with a baby needs to get separated type?

Ya with a child 3 years old

Usually baby have more cloth to wash?

And require separated wash.

That require more frequent of laundry. Which will occupy your drying time.

What have you bought?

I bought Electrolux EWW 12842 model. Got it for 2.7k from One Living (cheapest out of all the shops).
For a single person I think its ok but for family I think better you get separate washer and dryer.

Do you reli need a dryer tho? It can be quite expensive to run.

I saw few complaints about dryer cannot fully dried the clothes. Is that true? And take long time to dry it

Yea mine takes quite a while to dry and its not fully dried. I usually dry for 45min and leave to hang overnight then its done.
If u want fully dry, then prob 1.5hours and above on a washer/dryer.

If own separate dryer, then would be more faster. U can google different type of dryers like heat pump, condenser etc.

Don't overload the marker. Drying need space to tumbler and the heat go into the cloth.

You can get some dryer ball to increase the efficiency.

Separate the thick and thin fabric.

Normally I will takeout to sun dry. When not enough time or rain, than take back and put into the dryer. This will reduce the drying time, more complete dry and save some energy.

This LG washer dryer looks value for money. Does anyone hv experience using this washer dryer? Rm3299 - rm200 (twelve code @ gemfive) =rm3099

10.5kg not small meh? probably comforter struggle to wash.

I m using this LG combo.

Therenare a lot washer dryer offer bigger capacity but.. U know la at least must add around rm1.5k.

Oh the same model? Can share the review for this item?

If can't wash comforter, no use la. Spend that much but still have to wash outside.

Review many time already la. Tired. Go search yourself.

Or just buy it.

My wan it 12kg/7kg LG combo.

I'm using LG washer 13KG and Electrolux dryer 6kg. Use 3 to 4 times a week. Electricity a month so far never exceed rm60 for the past 2 month..

Usually at least an hour to dry..

Just Me my wife and baby..

I'm thinking to get LG combo too

I believe normal comforter weight not excedeed to 5kg.

What's the rationale using comforter in humid tropical rainforest climate? Duvet/ quilt cover without the fillings is actually very appropriate here. The other type that works well here and which surprised me thoroughly are fleece blanket from Home Harmony ( initially mistaken for Akemi Uchi).

In actual fact, king sized duvet covers (no fillings) can be washed with even a 5.5 - 6kg washing machine with laundry balls. An 8kg can load that with bolster and two pillow cases and bed sheet.
With these, you don't need to invest in wide door washing machines which is more appropriate in snowy winter regions that employs thick duvet fillings which when rolled up in a whirl is not easily put in (much less taken out) esp if the tub mouth diameter is less than 40cm. The machine load to get is typically calculated to cater to number of adults and children for the next 7-10 years. A household with 4 adults and 2-3 growing children works well minimally with a 8kg but optimally 10kg washer assuming 4 loads weekly. The largest item is most likely the curtain drapes and that even a 5.5kg can wash one at a time. An 8kg can take two at once.
