Depend on

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

1 baby ?

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

No rack no buy.

Usually baby have more cloth to wash?

And require separated wash.

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

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.

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

I m using this LG combo.

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.

It is not the weight. But the size.

How big the drum size of 10kg? How big the drum of 13kg?

My queen size comforter just enough to squeeze into the 12kg drum. If king size, don't think can fit in at all.

Than can the comforter wash clean enough? Since it so tight inside the drum.

Ok la. No problem 1.

I already use for 8yrs.

"My queen size comforter just enough to squeeze into the 12kg drum. If king size, don't think can fit in at all."

Can you understand what am I write ?

I already use this LG combo WD-CD1212W for 8yrs. That is the size of the comforter it can fit in.

If the 12kg queen size "just" enough to squeeze in and the drum is pretty full, can a 10.5kg squeeze in ?

If the 10.5kg drum is about the same size as 12kg, what does the 10.5kg capacity mean?

People intend to put more cloth inside as long as the drum fit. Nobody will weight the cloth before throw into the drum. How the manufacturing makesure you not overload the capacity.

I only can give you my LG combo experience.

Try to get a measurement tape and check the drum size which brand is the biggest for the capacity you're looking.

I notice that Top loader drum size is bigger than the Front loader. It is because the vertical drive and horizontal drive force is different.

Actually if the drum size is 12kg or 10kg, it not really that size. Depend the design of the brand.

Have you notice that inside the drum have a few fin divide equal at the drum wall. This fin take away some capacity of the drum.

My LG combo the drum fin is pretty big size. Hence why the queen size comforter is "just" enough to fit in.

I m not sure do others brand have this fin inside the drum.

Another problem when you too compact the comforter inside the drum, can the water and detergent able to absorb into the fabric fast. Can the dirt be able to flow out? Can the washing efficiency wash ?

If you talk about washing the comforter, the drum already no space for it. Don't think you can squeeze the magic ball in.

Even you able to put the ball in, it just stay there and can't move around. Where got space for it to roll around?

The magic ball is a gimmick. Normally they will tell you use with hot water will be very effective. It is not true. Actually only the hot water is enough effective without the ball.

I do have some ball for the drying. The ball have spike and it create a space inside the fabric when tumbler. Help the drying process faster.

But I didn't try to compare it.

I choose this model because

1) it is the minimum size that able to wash queen size comforter.
2) it have Duvet function. Which tell me it have the prg to wash heavy thing.
3) I can't afford to buy a larger size. Combo is expensive. But cheaper than separate type.

Regarding choosing the LG brand reliable, It is the most use and prefer WM in US. I cannot find any data in local.

Since it last for 8yrs and still using, my ROI is already return.

Another convince me about LG WM is my friend. He have this TL for 11yrs and running. The only thing spoil is the inlet valve. Cost RM120 for the part and DIY.

Actually I m sceptical about Korean product. But since the US consumer is happy with it, so try lor.

1 thing bad about this WM is the door rubber seal. It retain the water and overtime accumulate dirt and mold. Need frequent wipe it dry and clean.

Use the bounce outdoor flesh sheet for each drying cycle.

Solve my drying smell.

ACE.

Wah, nice.

Hope available here before my dryer die.

I believe all the dryer have the filter and need to be clean frequent after use the dryer.

But if it a combo, there is no filter to be clean.

The only filter I can think of is the drainer filter ?

The cost.

I have been searching and read the manual if there any filter that need to be clean. But none.

So I think the lint is wash away by the water when next cycle WM is use. It don't need filter for combo.

But there is a youtube video that show how to clean the recycle hot air path if the drying time is longer. The lint block the moisture sensor after long time use.

Time for me to dismantle the WM and clean it up.

If not mistaken, have to open the top and behind the panel. Open the blower, duct and clean.

Not difficult for DIY. But not easy also for normal people.

Found the video.
