They do have stackable washer and dryer

FV1409S4W - washer
VD-H9066WS - dryer

I believe these 2 are stackable. But both are 9kg only

Hi guys, is there any difference between individual washing machine and individual dryer and a combination of both 2 in 1 machine? My friend says that better to get them both individually. Is it better?

If your space is limited, then you have no choice to buy 2 in 1.

When a 2 in 1 breaks down, you can use either function or none.

Similar a standalone washer can wash but cannot spin dry if there is a spin malfunction.

My limited experience with combined washer/dryer is that the dryer portion tends to take longer to dry, plus many combination washer/dryer tend to use condenser dryer that's less energy efficient than the vented standalone dryers.

In terms of space, even in my old small apartment I can stack the dryer above my front loading washer so there's not much gained in space savings.

When you have more than 1 load of laundry to do, you can run the washer and dryer separately, saving some time. You can't do this with a combo appliance. The washer/dryer combo is typically more complicated and online ratings tend to show lower reliability compared to standalone appliances.

I've had separate washers and dryers for more than 15 years and recommend buying separate appliances.

Bought one Electrolux 8kg heat pump dryer with 2 years warrantee. Dry perfectly only on first year. Going to second year all cloths damp after complete cycle. Called Electrolux tech to repair, 1st he poured water to the condenser coil. Then cloth still damp, called again, he replaced the PCB board, sensor and dunno what, anyway still damp. So needed to do 2 or 3 cycles to get dry cloths. The final straw came after 4 years, the drum belt snapped. I threw away the dryer. My quip is don't buy anything Electrolux. Now I'm trying the LG heat pump double inverter, see how long it can last

Pros
1.No exhaust tubes
2.Uses inverter condenser, safe electricity tremendously
3.Water can be expelled easily

Cons
1.A lot of dust built up in the machine itself, you need to open and blow the dust away after few years
2.Condenser can get clogged up with dust and not even the company technician knows how to clean it (they just replaced the pcb, the sensor, and other stuffs but never fixed the problem)
3.Took longer time to dry cloth than vented dryer.

I'm planning to get a washer+dryer combo due to space considerations at my place.

But of concern at the same time after reading through the past posts here, such combination are usually with longer drying hours ? or its usually happens during full load ? unsure.gif

previously been using an Electrolux separate configuration but it seems that their reliability recently has been in question. What would be a good option at this point of time ? LG FV1450H2B ? so far I've looked at Panasonic's NA-S106FX1LM 10/6KG combo due to its AG+ functionality that may/may not come in handy.

as expecting a new member in the household, so have to juggle between time convenience and also efficiency wink.gif appreciate some thoughts on this

I am in the midst of buying a dryer, and I found out one thing. A dryer requires more frequent maintenance as compare to washing machine because of the lint that comes off you clothes during the drying process. If not properly maintained, the lint will accumulate inside the inaccessible parts of the machine and might disrupt the operation of the machine. In some dryer, you might need to totally dissemble the machine.

Washing machine on the other hand, is mostly almost maintenance free.

So, in the event of your dryer breakdown, you will lose your washing machine as well. Do keep that in mind.

The bolded part is totally wrong. Condenser dryer is much more energy efficient than vented dryer. But of course if you have 7kg dryer trying to dry 10kg load, it wouldn't be as efficient as properly sized standalone dryers.

In terms of energy efficiency of standalone dryer, Heat Pump>Condenser>Vented.

You're absolutely right, my mistake.

Also agree on dryer maintenance, cleaning the lint filter is very important for dryer efficiency plus there's a slight chance of fire as the lint is dry and there will be static.

However I disagree about dryer reliability, my current Bosch dryer has had zero problems in the past 8 years. Even my previous Electrolux dryer was trouble free for about 7+ years. Both my current Samsung and my previous Zanussi front load washers had issues.

If you have a choice calvin I still recommend separate washer and dryer. Mount the dryer above your washer to save space.

thanks for your feedback.. which brand would you suggest to get for a standalone dryer ? unsure.gif within this thread itself there seems to be a lot of bad experiences with Electrolux sweat.gif

In the past 18 years or so I think my first one was Zanussi, then an Electrolux and now a Bosch. Don't know what to recommend, as mentioned, my cheap Bosch vented dryer is 8 years old and is still going strong although I only use it frequently during rainy weather like the past month or so.

My next dryer will likely be a heat pump dryer, much more energy efficient. If you live in an apartment, having a heat pump dryer will avoid pumping warm, moist air into your apartment. Unfortunately they're more complex and far more expensive.

i am not a salesman, but for me, i am pretty much satisfied using this brand and i will recommend it for the feature vs price point.

QUOTE(neuromancerx @ Jan 2 2020, 12:09 PM)
Finally made some unexpected choice. Went to harvey norman on 31st Dec night and found this deal.
It's a Brandt 8kg heatpump dryer for rm1999. I bought together with the extnded warranty for rm2300. Power consumption is the lowest in the class, even lower than bosch and Electrolux.

Unknown brand, but with 5 years warranty by Harvey norman it is a steal. After 5 years if require repair and no parts/expensive i may consider buying new one.

Should be no problem if all the looped sockets were installed by an electrician laugh.gif If there is an overload condition, the MCB at DB box will trip.

1. Before using a test pen, poke it inside a Live terminal (when power is still on) to check that the test pen works.
2. You just need to replace the sockets like-for-like, after turning off everything in the whole DB box before you start to open things up.
3. Before handling/touching any wires, also check again with test pen to confirm they are all unpowered just in case you have funny configurations like more than 1 DB box (in some places) or its actually powered from the neighbour's DB box.
4. Test again one more time to confirm sure. A second test never killed anyone. Lack of testing, well, they are no longer with us.

Nothing wrong with the wiring or socket if other appliances is working. Repair the washer or buy new.

should have short listed the cause of the issue.. likely due to one of the capacitor.. Electrolux installed with Ducati 7uf 425V/475V..

Finding some replacement at shopee.. same model cost rm38.. but cheaper option is less than rm10 but the V is 400V/450V.. but wonder is it compatible? see photos for better reference..

Guys. I just bought a new heat pump dryer. I would to ask, from you experience, is dryer normally noisy? I mean comparing to washing machine.

It’s already years since I last use a dryer, so I can’t really recall how a dryer sounds like sweat.gif

I'm using an LG Heat Pump Dryer. Will have some noise but not disturbing. The dryer emits a 'klink klonk' sound and according to the manual, it is normal. Been using it for more than a year and stjll work perfectly fine.
