Hi,

Anyone using heat pump dryer? can really save a lot electricity compared to condenser and vented type? I was told that heated dryer should not be stacked up because it's too heavy. Planning to buy electrolux. Any comments?

Thanks

It saves the most compared to other types. Panasonic has one that is heat pump with inverter which can dry at lower temperature. Dryers can be stacked with a stacking kit which Electrolux should carry. Perhaps the precaution is to drain the water from the clothes drying directly rather than capture it in the condensate cassette. Download the manual for the model and see the stacking instructions if it says anything.

Wow people have their trust back on washer dryer combo, what do you think about these units below.

Inverter & direct drive

anybody here using cuble NA-D106X1WMY? any review?

That is consider freaking cheap. I will sapu without looking others.

Anyone using LG FC1450H2E 10.5KG/7KG washer dryer before? Eyeing on this unit..

I'm not too fussy abt washing machines... but since this thing is a washer dryer, it's a bit of a novelty to me.

Coming from top loaders my whole life, I'm shocked at how little water it uses. I converted the shower area in my spare bathroom (which nobody uses anyway) into a laundry room where I installed the washing machine...at first I thought it wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be, but it could be that the sound is amplified by the enclosed space.

Uses direct drive, so no rubber pulleys to start slipping & squealing after 10 years. Got an inverter motor to save electricity. 10kg load capacity means it's way more practical & realistic than those puny 7kg types. The dryer function works like a bloody charm - you can set the temp, and it can get hot enough to completely dry a load of towels.

Overall, it isn't fancy with none of the bells and whistles of models costing twice as much. But it works exactly as advertised and for RM2800 for a 10kg washer/dryer, I'm pretty damn happy.

CAVEAT : IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A FRONT LOADER YOURSELF, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL THE DRUM RETAINING LUGS PRIOR TO USING...!!!!

Our reno contractor installed ours after remodelling the bathroom, we didn't know they didn't remove em. During first time use, the bugger was rattling loudly & vibrating very badly, shaking itself apart on spin cycle. We thought we got a lemon! After RTFM, I realized the drum retaining lugs were not removed. These lugs fixed the suspended drum in place so that it would not bounce around & damage the innards during transportation & shipping, which also meant that the drum would transfer all the spin cycle rattles directly to the chassis. Removing them freed the drum so that it could float freely, allowing the drum springs & dampening weight to properly soak up the vibration & noise.

Thanks for the heads up. Good stuff. This machine up a few notches in wish list. I like the way you layout the laundry area in the unused bathroom.

How does the clothes feel vs what you've used before? Does it vents heat into the bathroom when in dryer mode?

We only use the drier to free up space on the hanger outside. So that's usually the thick & heavy stuff like towels & jeans. They come out hot & steamy, when they cool off they're perfectly dry.

I think there's a caveat somewhere - the dryer capacity is usually half of the washing capacity. But since I use it only to complement air drying (this thing sucks power, we try to keep our TNB bill to around RM35-45/mo), it doesn't matter. If you intend to rely on a dryer for all of your laundry, you might want to get a standalone one.

The machine does output a bit of heat during the drier cycle, nothing major. The bathroom windows are above the machine, so in our case heat isn't an issue at all.

Good review pal...Eagerly waiting for my LG washer dryer 10.5/7kg as well.

what are the average power consumption for washer/dryer combo 11kg/7kg?

I can't find anyd details regarding Electrolux EWW14113 (most brands don't state their power) power requirements. i want to know if i need to run another wire or can i tap another existing socket (which is also used for a washer).

And how to check the washer/dryer combo uses condenser or heat pump?

Plan to have either:
Electrolux EWW14113 11kg/7kg
LG FC1450H2E 10.5KG/ 7KG
Beko?
Daihatsu?

+

LG-T2112SSAV 12kg

so how do i check the max total consumption if i have both units on?

I would like to get an opinion on beko vented dryer and electrolux vented dryer.

Anyone has experience using the lower end beko & electrolux vented dryer.? Model that i am currently considering electrolux edv7552 & beko DRVS73W. I have check on previous post, seems like a lot of people recommend electrolux but some will go for beko for combo washer/dryer. I have read a lot of good review on beko in the internet, however i am more worried on the after sales service in malaysia. Seems like not a very popular brand in malaysia.

What is the minimum KG/KG for washer/dryer for normal home occasionally washing comforter, bed sheets, large drape / curtains and dry them?

8KG/5KG enough?

Minimum 12/7kg.

please post a review on your LG washer dryer... eyeing on this unit as well...mind sharing at what price you got it for and where?

Thank you in advance

I bought that unit too for 2899 + 50 delivery + 600 (4 yrs additional warranty)

Just received it today...Havent use it yet...Will give some 2 cents later on.


Yes sir..Got it it for 2899 plus 50 delivery but did not buy the warranty..LG promo on HLK..

Any advice? I am also considering beko condenser dryer as i can get below 2k.

yeah any beko dryer users here ....any comment about this brand?

Reply here just to make a point. My EDH3497RDW motor & board konk. Age, less than 2.5 years.

If you don't need that magic wool feature or crap, just get a cheaper/other brand with long warranty. Heat pump yes, but expensive. Electricity savings is not even enough to break even the cost of breaking down.

Just my 2-cent.
