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

I'm deciding between front load and top load washer. I've been using top load but I would like to have the hot water features and have been told that front load is more gentle to the clothes.
The downside of front load is I need to bend my body or squat to load the clothes to the washer which i don't like. Also the rubber of the front load washer is hard to clean from what i know.
Anyone can share your experience?
Thank you.

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Jan 1 2018, 04:16 PM) Front load uses less water, more economical. As for fungus growth, don't shut the door after use. Leave it ventilated. Mine 2 yrs+, just did tub cleaning, inside not dirty at all. But the washing time is longer isn’t? Do I still need to use laundry bag for delicate clothes if I use front load washer? Is it gentle enough and won’t destroy most of the clothes? Also, may I kno what other brand of detergent is suitable for front load other than persil?

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Jan 2 2018, 08:42 AM) You don't have to bend. If you're renovating, you can ask a contractor to build a concrete platform for your front loader so that you will never hv to bend down ever. As for the mouldy rubber, prevention is the best cure. Once or twice a year when you clean the internal filter, give the rubber part a good wipe down.[attachmentid=9474899] Good suggestion. But if I want to stack up my dryer would be hard isn’t? Is it okay to put washer horizontally?

QUOTE(ivzh @ Mar 17 2018, 11:16 PM) Hi, anyone can give comment about heat pump dryer? How effective is the electricity saving compare to condense dryer? Not too sure is it a worthwhile investment, currently my house use dryer daily. To dry a full load clothes , how much time it need? I m still in dilemma whether to shoud get separate unit for washer dryer or combo. i'm interested on heat pump dryer too coz it seems more energy efficient and save electricity (1/4 times), but the price is quite high, not sure if its worth the money. Do you plan to stack it up on the washer?

Hi,
I'm looking at this model Electrolux EWF 12033 10kg washer & EDH3497RDW 9kg heat pump dryer
Any review on this products? I'm planning to stack dryer on washer using either of the following
1. stacking kit 2. concrete top 3. plywood cabinet
I'm not sure if stacking kit can support the weight of this dryer though. Which option is better? Can anyone share your experience?
Thanks

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Aug 6 2018, 06:44 PM) There's a original Electrolux stacking kit (with drawer) that supports the dryer. But of course, concrete top is the best option. Are you using this model? Does the stacking kit come with the dryer itself or need to purchase seperately? Can you share? Also, if i put it on the concrete top, is it stable? The dryer won't shake and fell?

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Aug 6 2018, 11:37 PM) This stacking kit was recommended by Electrolux's customer service when I asked about it. Yeah, my dryer fits into it nicely. The dryer is quite stable, rare shakes. So putting onto concrete slab would be fine. If you can, try to make indentation at the 4 point where the studs would be, so they are interlocked. Attached was the email replied by Electrolux Malaysia. So if the dryer fell after using the kit, sue them. Hi may i know if are you using the same model of dryer?

Does clothes shrink/colour fade after dried using over long period of time? And where did you get the stacking kit from? from electrolux dealer? Thanks

QUOTE(idoblu @ Aug 29 2018, 09:31 AM) today electrolux technician came to fix my dryer's door so i asked him about heat pump type. he says not recommended to stack heat pump type dryer and if need to fix it, owner will have to get their own people to bring it down before they can fix it. The tech from electrolux will not carry it down to the floor if needed. Its too heavy! hmm, i bought the dryer already. if dont stack then i dunno where im gonna put it
