im undecided between these models,
LG TD-H9066WS 9KG
Bosch WTR85V00SG 8KG

price is almost the same. keen for LG due to features and dual inverter, keen for bosch due to reliability (based on hearsay and readings)

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.

Anyway, just sharing the lowest price for below models since i have been spending time scouting and doing research for it.

LG TD-H9066WS 9KG. RM3580
Bosch WTR85V00SG 8KG. RM3500

Yeah French brand. i bought it simply because it's cheap (even with the extended warranty) and most importantly it is the most energy efficient.

heard that bosch's PCB will cost a bomb? read somewhere he was charged around rm1k for it

For me, i will just opt for the cheapest heat pump dryer. Save your electricity bill in the long run

aah okay, different case with me.

of course. if you look at condenser based dryer, they are easily above 1000w.

I think i misquoted, it's easily exceeding 1800w for condenser based. I checked Electrolux condenser last time, its 2200w-2400w.

It's like buying inverter vs non inverter A/C. With heat pump dryer, you are paying more on capex but saves on your opex.

Here's the technical data for Electrolux dryer, https://www.electrolux.com.my/globalassets/...anual-en-my.pdf

Look at page 26.

Back then, TD-H9066WS was in my list too. I managed to get around RM3580 (some shop in equine park).

But in the end I bought different brand from Harvey Norman, simply because the price is irresistable.

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.

I think it's a condenser dryer. Power consumption above 2kW definitely not a heat pump based dryer.

i dig further on that midea model, to be honest, im not sure whether it is a heat pump dryer or not. Saw some description mentioned heat pump.
