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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
2 different kind of technology la. 1 is heat pump and 1 is condenser type.
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.
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 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.
Of course it dry enough. Plenty dry mode selection also.
After dry cycle finish, you can take it out or leave in there. The drum continue run interval for few hr to reduce the wrinkle. But the dry cycle is off.
If the cloth is dry and inside the drum is seal tight, where the moisture come from?
Choose separate type if you have space and a lot of laundry. It save you time if you do few laundry in a day.
It is what I heard as people who uses 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer, after washing the drum is wet and it has to immediately turn into drying while moisture may still be kept in the drum.
I have booked an LG combo FL washer/dryer 10.5/6kg but not delivered yet and now is confused whether I should change it to separate individual FL washer, and individual dryer.
Any advice from you all ?
Thanks in advance.
Change it lah. Later many laundry how?
I don't understand what you mean moisture still keep in the drum.
Your cloth wet also will trap inside the drum. How it going to remove the moisture in dryer?
I saw this LG washer/dryer quite interesting The bottom got a pull out drawer that have another drum. Not sure if can work independently but it says can run at the same time. Maybe can use the bottom washer to wash small loads or separate your under wears from the rest Another advantage is you don't have to bend down for the main bigger load
ozak your next target
Whole thing dumb into the WM la. Don't need separate.
Well, it is another advantage. I don't have comment on this.
Been looking for dryer and sales man recommended gas type clothes dryer. Anyone have experience on that? What is the difference between condenser type clothes dryer? Thanks.
