Dryer can never be eco firendly..., in fact they use up lots of electricity. Even more than air conditioning.

Latest cloth dryer today come with heat pump technology. For simple explanation on heat pump dryer that is more eco friendly can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothes_dryer#Heat_pump_dryers.

Of course the more natural & most eco freindly still the SUN BATHING is the best..

samsung 8kg/5kg washer/dryer in houz depot selling for rm 2750, just had a look ysterday

Ya. I am still shopping around. How good is this BEKO?

Google arond found this:
http://www.beko.ie/Appliances/Laundry
http://urbanez.com.my/OurProducts.asp?cid=18

Looks promising technology for its laundry. How is the support here? Anyone have experience to tell? I still prefer European brand rather than Asian brand for the laundry.

i am using LG brand 9kg wash / 6kg dry, so far quite statisfied with it... is about RM2.8k with trade in old wm....

heard that seng heng trying to clear their 2in1 wash+dry machine... they said that manufacturer also stop producing those 2in1 machine already. too many break downs. how true is this?

That was a mixed review on that specific BEKO model. Regards the AFTER-SALE-SERVICE of any goods we bought (as an example) doesn't matter it range from audio/video, furniture, automobile, handphone, personal computer, home appliances & kitchen appliances is very much depends on the service provide by the importer & the sole distributor of the specific country. The appointed distributor should be more responsive to get BEKO to take action. Check more in-depth in that particular site review, not only BEKO got the condemn but other much popular brand like MIELE, LG, MAYTAG, BOSCH, AEG and many more also been condemned. So, how genuine are those complaints, we really don't know???

We understand that BEKO and many other brand (the original manufacturer) will require their appointed distributor to carry the after-sale-service duty for their responsible country or region. Here in Malaysia, the after-sale-service & products distribution is in-charge by Pacifica Appliances (link is here to their website http://pacifica.my/). As we already knew of their good reputation and fast responsive after-sale-service from Pacifica Appliances that carry a few brand like PACIFIC, PACIFICA, PHI, ZEPHYR, BEKO, BERTAZZONI, BAUMATIC and others. Pacifica Appliances appearance in the market is more than 15 years specialised in all household products.

BEKO is a good brand regards to the white-goods quality and popularity that have the market status equivalent to other European player like BOSCH, SIEMEN, MIELE, ELECTROLUX, FAGOR, INDECIT, MAYTAG just to named a fews.

BEKO appearance in Malaysia do give Malaysia white-goods consumer market another alternative to have a good European quality products but with the relevant ASIAN brand pricing. Majority of our customers that already bought the BEKO appliances from us knew this brand name and quality prior to their purchase. With the warranty and after-sale-service carried by Pacifica Appliance did help convinced themselves.

For more information on BEKO products, please do drop by our Kota Damansara showroom.

Hi Stretch,

Sorry for late reply.

STRECH, you're invited also! PLEASE come to our show room in DATARAN SUNWAY, KOTA DAMANSARA to have a SNEAK PREVIEW on BEKO products.

The model in the BEKO washer+dryer package for RM2999 is going to change VERY.. VERY.. VERY SOON. The existing package model is going to trade separately. NEW package is on the way (should be coming around 1st July). Both units come in SILVER color with higher RPM speed.

Is about time BEKO revise their pricing after the INTRODUCTORY PERIOD. So, if you are interested in buying certain BEKO model previously, do make your decision fast before the price revision.

So, Strecth & Yaphong01 make sure you guys be the first to make your PRE-ORDER for the new BEKO package.

1) I tried a LG TROMM washer/dryer before. It's convenient, but somehow the clothes always end up very creased at the end of the drying cycle. Now using separate vented dryer.

Anyone have a better experience with the washer/dryer combos?

2) Wonder how the new heat pump dryers are with creases?
How much are they nowadays?

Selling off a new dryer. Details as below:

Pm me if interested.

heatpump surely would be a plus. but beko doesnt play (at all) in the league of elextrolux, siemens or bosch. it seems to be from turkey(?) and from the website caters to eastern europe and sells in a few european countries too. reviews seem however to be positive - even in the long run. i am pretty sure beko is not premium, i read a review where the poster said the new dryer from beko was cheaper than a replacement heating element of his bauknecht dryer. go figure.

bosch wts86515..... got B rating only...

I m using thid LG combo. So far so good. Most usefull in this rainning season.

But I don't like the smell of the cloth after dyring. Probably because the air recirculate back.

Hi TS,

I would suggest that you buy separate dryer and washing machine as washer dryer are not that reliable in the long run. Unless space is an issue then go for separate. I cancelled my plans to buy one after reading this.

Are washer dryers less reliable than a washing machine?
They should be, they have more parts and do more work, to expect different is unrealistic. But are they less reliable than a separate washer and tumble dryer combined? - That is a much fairer question. According to Which? Best washing machine brand reports washer dryers do break down more than washing machines, but they don't appear to qualify this by saying whether they break down any more than a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

For all we know, a washer dryer may not on average break down any more than the combined separate machines together. My feeling, to be fair, is that they probably do, but not excessively so. The Which? reliability reports do appear to unfairly compare a single machine doing two jobs with a machine doing only one.

To know more please read this link.

http://www.washerhelp.co.uk/buying-advice-9.html

seperate is definitely a must. since dryers hog electricity like mad i dont think you will find dryers with a rating better than B. if you have the space cover a drying area outside your house to shield of the rain and dry your stuff there. that's A+++

Beko dryer works well until the rubber band snaps. To change the rubber band is not an easy task. The opening to the rubber band is too small for an adult hand to reach it. Furthermore, the four sides of that opening area to that rubber band site is sharp due to poor workmanship. They did not polish or smoothen the sharp edges. If you are not careful, you will cut yourself when changing the rubber band. And also the rubber band is not available here... or at least it is not easily available. So one has to order online from UK, which again costs a lot. Each time changing of the rubber band with workmanship cost me RM250. And so far, after getting the unit for less than 4 months, it has snapped twice. There goes my RM500. And because this is not a forum to bombard the poor after sales service of that B*st D**ki outlet which promised everything under the sun when I bought the unit, I would spare them this round, and just stick to the discussion.

Brought 4 month and without warranty?

Or telling you rubber band no warranty?

It's the hassle of getting the warranty from that outlet. First, calling them thru the number already took long time. Then, rude attitude from the person in charged (reason given: he worked alone and very busy, more like venting his frustration on me). He told me he needed to send my case up to the team, will take 2 working days. Then the team will come only office hours to inspect my unit. Another appointment needed. If off hours, need to pay them extra, despite saying "under warranty period". Next if the unit is taken back, will need 5 working days. That means i wont have my machine for at least 7-8 days (plus the weekends).

At the end, I called my regular electrical shop owner who repairs electrical appliances. And he bought the rubber band from UK, FedEx it here took only 3 days, and came right to my doorstep and got it fixed in 1 hour. Paid RM250. And the whole unit back in perfect working condition.

But few weeks later, the whole thing snap again, and i repeated the repair proceudre... and spent another RM250 to get anohter rubber band changed.

That's why when the unit is working, it's perfect, just like any other brand. The only problem starts iswhen theunit breaks down.

This is already a crap machine with a crap service. It is not working perfect at all with anytime breakdown the rubber band.

With such a short live part, it will happen again and again till you kick the machine out. Without border to repair anymore.

HI! I am looking for a dryer, may I know what is a good brand for dryer now? Thanks a lot.

Been using Fisher&Packal for almost 8 years and it has not given us any problem. Very heavy usage (family of 8 now). Too lazy and have not done any service yet too. But lately, the machine can no longer take bigger load, one technician (who came over to fix my washer) said it's due to the rubber band, and it would cost rm400. I have not done anything with it, as it's still working well....just need to load more frequently.

Fisher&Packal super expensive le. I am thinking to get either electrolux or Bosch or mayb some Korean brand.

Bought 8 years ago, around rm1.5k only

Tried to search online but all the user reviews seem outdated from 2011 and 2012. And the reviews are not good. I'm moving into a new condo soon and is looking for a washer dryer combo.

Is it really bad? Do you get breakdowns every other year?

I'm looking for a small load version ~8/5kg, either Electrolux, Samsung, or LG. Budget is around 2.7k.

If space permitted, better buy a separate washer and Dryer. Combi machine always have problem.

What kind of problems? What cause the problems? Really appreciate if you can elaborate more.

Actually, I also get this from my fren. They said normally combi machine a lot of issue, not specific. Mayb u can also read through this forum about the combi issue.
Have u do survey on the brand u want? Currently I am using electrolux washing machine Front loaded. So far so good.

Hi, anybody with good experience with dryer, please recommend the brand. Thank you!

which model was it ?

hitachi is having one~ not sure how good was it~ tagged around 5.8k~

Anyone has experience with Electrolux vented dryer (EDV600)? Does it dry the cloth enough?

Bought ELBA ED602W 6kg dryer from forumer billykl for rm1150. quite a good deal i suppose because this is the cheapest price i could get after asking few other electrical shop. I choose this model because it doesn't need ducting. Been using it for a few times already and i can say i'm satisfied. The cloth is dry thoroughly and it is quiet as well. Now i don't have to worry about rainy days.

anyone can estimate the current consumption for dryer in a month for daily usage or once a week usage?

thinking to get one but want to know how much electricity increase i should expect for those 2 type of usage

There are so many models in Harvey Norman with Washer Dryer combo.

Usually Washer Dryer Combo is front loading type. So you need front loading detergent only (low sud). The shop will not teach you all these. Thats why people claim combo got problem coz u put normal detergent, the machine sure kaput.

Anyways any washing machine regardless combo or not will kaput and not forever.

My Ariston combo, the dryer kaput first, now still using but the washer only (after 12 years - coz i only do laundry on weekend)

My bosch combo will power up and then off ...
Bought in year 2010...only 3 years now...only 1 person in the family...
Bosch quoted abt RM800 to fix the module control board...
Don't know why German brand so unrealible meh...or maybe just bad luck.

cheap version of dryer:

<RM450

2 years warranty claims. kekeke.

hi does anyone knows where to get a air dryer hose?

Any Lowyat member here care to give feedback on their Dryer

Looking to get a Dryer but want some feedback first from exsting users

Which dryer you would like to know?

Tumble, condenser or heat pump?

I got heat pump & tumble dryer for 2 units on both got thier pro & con

This post has been edited by kimsim: Dec 29 2014, 05:44 PM

Went o Harvey Norman to ask

Ventilated is OUT cos need to break hole in Wall

Heat Pump cos 2x the price of condensor, will I ever recover the cost in energy savings

What are other advantage of heat pump over condenser

How much does each drying cycle cost in terms of electricity bill

Does it damage the clothes

Is the dryer still reliable after few years of usage

Tumble watt = 2250w
Condenser also = 2300w to 2800w
Heat pump like Aircon system work for 900w only.

Cloths will damage by TL WM out of shape.

From dryer won't spoil your cloths condition, maybe some too much plastic foam would be spoil some corner, for us don't have it issue at all.

Cause like bed sheet or cloths more on cotton so far no issue to damage condition.

Like my 1st tumble dryer still working like new, just few cycle and empty filter only.

The rest no issue.
For my house also put in dry kitchen and open toilet door with exhaust fan to be solve

Talk about dryer cycle usage electric for 1 hour = 3 units Aircons.

This post has been edited by kimsim: Dec 29 2014, 06:04 PM

This page has some of your questions answered. In summary heat pump condenser takes advantage of lower heat to dry clothes. Depending upon the model of the current heat pumps like Panasonic, Beko (just brought in) or Electrolux (by far the most popular at 9kg) or Bosch, they excel at low heat moisture extraction/drying vs vented (what you call tumble dryers - all dryers tumble dry btw). The great deal about them is lower running cost and shorter drying time.

Also it can be plugged in the same socket as a washer. 900W/230V gives close to 3.9A to 4.0A so long as the socket for the washer is rated at 15A.

hello sifu here,
I would like to consider buy new dryer as this raining season would be dragging months and I just got a son last month. Want some suggestion from sifu here which is more reliable, combo WM or WM and dryer different unit.

For info, my WM also got problem, which cannot hold water after spin, need to manually trigger under the WM. Any suggestion?

Here got option for saving to purchase.

1. Used normal WM after job and put on cloths rack over night and then use dryer at last.

2. But new washer/dryer but take longer time for combine together at same time, dunno the electricity how much usage.

Wanna cheap n realible go for electrolux brand dryer

Dear Sifus, I am looking to buy a dryer machine. Currently I am looking at these 2 brands:

1. Electrolux - EDP2074PDW
2. Samsung - DV80H4200CW/FQ

My questions:

1. Any forumers have issues with Samsung dryer before? Electrolux was stated reliable and cheap from the above thread.
2. In term of service, which brand is better?
3. Any other complaints on these 2 brands?

Thank you very much.

From Samsung model is 2014 I don't think anyone here already own a one.

But electrolux maybe have some, also electrolux more cheaper with easy by user maintenance with few filter for empty it few cycle job done only.

Even my self before half year own a samsung ww8000 follow by getting 9kg heat pump electrolux also, cause I believed western country do more dryer per daily job, so far mine within a mount also everyday using dryer for dried my cloths as well.

Can refer here.
http://www.kimrovacstore.com/my-home-and-stuff-reviews.html

We got it model also, when in hot season n never touch at all, due to use too much waste energy n for rain reason we start use again.

If realiable I can said it won't spoil one,
If every used maybe like WM minor wear & tear sure have.

if you are using indoor, get a condenser dryer if you cant vent the hot air out... else tumble dryer will do.... condenser dryer cost more to do the same thing

BEKO brand in Malaysia is crap. Own their refrigerator. Called up their customer service (affiliated with Pacifica brand) and they never follow up on anything.

seeing you place dryer besides the fridge, will the heat pump dryer heat up the surrounding badly?

I have a short question. For 8 kg capacity dryer (condenser type), Bosch unit that uses heat pump retails around RM4000, while Electrolux is only at RM2800. What gives? I mean, why is Bosch really worth that much more?

Good thermodynamic partner. Refrigerator pump heats out of the inside, emits the expelled heat at the back. Then your dryer heat pump will take back that heat into drying the clothes! Bravo...

Ha ha heat pump don't have any body heat up an issue even cold as fridge side body wouldn't feel any warm up, like WM if use hot water the body feel slighly warm, but heat pump still nothing happen.

That is why very good for me to place anywhere I like

Bosh if made in Germany maybe pay for worth.
If made in Asia does not meant you pay the bosch can be show off at all.

All design was the same.

If 4k and top up another a bit more can consider for heat pump just 4.6k only from electrolux 9kg somemore and made in Poland wow.

2 different kind of technology la. 1 is heat pump and 1 is condenser type.

Follow the link at post #47 of this thread to a discussion on WM thread that covers all current dryer technology and their pros and cons.

From post #1576 by idoblu there: Heat pump reuses the hot air whereas condensing dryers expels it.

Any thoughts on Panasonic's Econavi Made-in-Japan heat pump washer/dryer NA-VX93GL?

http://www.panasonic.com/my/consumer/home-.../na-vx93gl.html

Ya that day I saw it in courts outlet s'pore very nice design and quite tall also.

If you guys thinking for get 2 in 1 maybe that's the right choice.

Just take longer time for complete in whole washe cycled.
If when using in washing time you can't separate use for dry function.

The rest it is good for space saving and heat pump too.
Also cheaper to buy combine set.

I've seen this particular model in a Japanese home makeover show (in the Before segment). That price tag has me drooling.

But for me I won't prefer combo to be concern about lint filter tray.

Next time would be same with the video.

No choice. No space. Plus, monsoon season has been killing my laundry.

Edit: not too worried about the lint. The filter's doing its job.

This post has been edited by OneMoreDay: Jan 3 2015, 08:16 AM

Like my dryer after completed few cycle of the dirt can be collected how many inside the lint tray.

The monsoon happen every year. How you deal with your laundry last time?

Combo don't have filter to take care. This is 1 of the advantage. The lint will wash away from the blower duct once you use the washing mode next time.

Using combo will takeaway the laundry word from your brain. Your weekend is free from doing laundry. Just throw your cloth inside after morning wake up. Set it to wash&dry. That's it. You can go out shopping, TT, dating etc till late night or holiday few day. Comeback and your cloth is ready to wear.

But you can't do too much laundry as the drying need space to tumbler. So if full load, you got to takeout some after finish wash. Actually it can dry with full load. Just take longer time and some not fully dry. Or just adjust to few wash. Up to your daily life to adjust it.

There is pro and con. So decide which 1 more weight to you.

Wow cool for new design without lint filter tray, next time I would go for it and realise how clean to be compare used dryer separate

It is not new design. It have since combo in the market.

It is just another design solution cause filter can't be design inside a combo. But having such a design inside combo, it giving an advantage of less maintainance to user.

Hi! I decided to go for electrolux dryer model EDV-7051. But, i also came across a newer model EDS 7051. Any comment on these dryer? This dryer is for a small family of 2 adult and 2 young kids. Not heavy duty! Thanks for your feedback!

Last time was our previous home with larger compound and covered backyard to air dry as much as possible. And we had a maid back then so it wasn't as much work.

Thanks for the info.

7kg no problem at all, cause for your cloths shall be after washed and put on cloth rack wait for next day.

After washing the cloths still have minor wet you may set more longer duration time, let say 30mins but take out still feel like 70% dried only, so you must use for 1 hour at least.

For my case also quite similar like you, 3 adults & 2 kids also for 6kg dryer good than enough.

Get the EDS 7051 much better feature than EDV-7051 don't have Delay Start & Crease Free.

Used ventilation tumble dryer will be slightly slower heat up and taken longer durable time for drying cloths to be completed, also more noisy sound from ventilation fan than condenser unit.

To be compare from duration time for condenser unit just needed 30-40mins can be fully dried, but the tumble model wanna use slightly more duration time for 60mins at least.

The rest don't have much an issue.

Mine is the previous model without black color bottom and look like very old school.

Hello all ...headache thinking of what to buy ...

Saw a few that I like ..
Bosch wts86516sg ... I think is heat pump 8kg 4k+
Electrolux edh 3497 9kg heat pump 4k
And panasonic nh-p80g2 (dark horse) 8kg .. Inverter with heat pump 4k

The pana one claim to be really energy efficient A++ but not sure because I've never heard about pana dryer until a few days ago...
Was wondering any of u had experience with any of this models?


The guys

Not need headache to be solve out for you now.

Bosch not heat pump is a condenser for input watt at 2800w to be refer thier specs
http://www.bosch-home.com.sg/products/laun...WTS86516SG.html

Bosch is equivalent to electrolux 8kg condenser only.
http://m.electrolux.com.sg/Products/Laundr...yers/EDC2086PDW

Electrolux 9kg is a 100% heat pump at 900w only
Pana 8kg also heat pump at 800w but only do with 8kg.

The benefit from electrolux is a goldwood label and come with tray rack for addition drying for toy or shoe tray.

Pana you can't see inside what happen due to non transparent door window.

So far mine already used a month a go for 26days without weekend go back Jb then didn't used.

My electricity just 495kw only included all the rest for heavy usage also.

Pana is Japan vs Poland then which one much better for sure is Ang mo technology much better.

You can decide for Pana washer dryer for 5k right I think so., 10 & 6 kg dryer but that is too small capacity for daily used.

This post has been edited by kimsim: Jan 8 2015, 02:43 AM

Wow. The kimsim.... You are using the pans or Electrolux one? What the reason actually u got the dryer? Or is it better to get 2 in 1. My wife asking to get 1 .. Say top priority faster ... No need wait for clothes to dry

Off course electrolux heat pump.

Now I am staying in sg HDB flat, can't put outside for natural dried.

Also put inside at kitchen back yard was my laundry place for most of time can't open full window, if got service yard/balcony then problem solved.

So our reason to place a dryer solution solved.
Can see our some home review :
http://www.kimrovacstore.com/my-home-and-stuff-reviews.html

Regarding 2 in 1 may not consider as bad, space saving the reason who buying.

Combo mean one parts fail may both can't used, also wet + dry got mold issue on cloths.

Even lint filter does not require meant dunno where is the fiber dust or debris going.

The reason buy single function much better than combo drive.

Even my Jb home can't without dryer for rain season b4 kids when is baby washed more cloths and towels put outside car porch for natural drying for bad season won't be dryed on same day.

The reason bought our 1st 6kg electrolux tumble dryer for now already up to 4 to 5 yrs still working well.

Actually buying a dryer at behind got some story then you would invest for it.

This post has been edited by kimsim: Jan 8 2015, 07:54 AM

Thx kimsim for your invaluable advice... Cure for headache ... Electrolux it is!!!!

Add some word.

Pana heat pump if cheaper or less than 4k will be more value for money.

This post has been edited by kimsim: Jan 8 2015, 10:54 AM

Waiting for price now

Harvey Norman gives different price at different outlet ....
In curve offer for the Electrolux is 3443 + 645(top up for additional 3 years warranty)
Panasonic is 3361 + 755(top up for additional warranty)

Price only valid if u take the top up.

In Klang price for Electrolux is 4992!!! This not event add the extended warranty!!!

From outside electrolux is 3600 n panasonic is 3870 (a electrical shop in Puchong)

Warranty I think is standard 2 years.
Is the additional warranty worth paying for?any problem so far with ur units?


Kimsim... How much u bought ur Electrolux?

Good is cheaper in M'sia, bought mine from Harvey Norman S'pore $1750+250 for extended 3 yrs extra = total 5 yrs.

Hi both, in your experience of using the LG combo, would like your opinion:
- Were the clothes really dry enough after each drying cycle ?
- Heard that after the alert sound indicating dry cycle is finished, clothes must be removed immediately or else they will be wet again due to moisture in the machine and clothes hanging till dry is still needed ?
- A separate dryer should do the drying job much better as it is moisture free and thus clothes are really dry ?

Thanks.
