Most people who says dryer sucks here don't even own one at home. Almost everyone who own a dryer keep praising about the benefits of having it at home. Talk about sour grapes... Dryer use more electricity, clothes shrinking, bla.. bla.. bla.. I don't even recall when was the last time I'm using iron to clear out wrinkles from my clothes... My dryer rating is 2.2 kW, using it only 4 times per week, less than 1 hour usage each time... So, per month I am using only 2.2 kW x 4 hours/week x 4 weeks/month = 35.2 kWh/month. Considering I am paying electricity at higher tariff around 33 cents/ kWh... I am paying only about RM12 maximum per month for electricity usage for the dryer. I don't have to iron my clothes, so I'm saving about 2 hours per week x 1 kW electric for the iron... So that's about RM 2.64 worth of electricity saved (at 33 cents / kWh tariff)... Which means effectively I'm using just RM 10 extra per month as compared to other people with similar amount of laundry load. RM 10 per month is definitely worth it for the last 8 years I'd been using the dryer without any problems with the dryer or the much touted problems of clothes shrinkage. If you worry too much about the extra carbon footprint, just hook up your dryer to a 400 Watt solar panel with batteries to store the solar energy.

Sun is still my priority.

Dryer come in handy when raining season and dryer comforter. That is like every 3month out of a yrs usage.

Still worth to buy.

you wanna run the sun once a while.

it helps kills molds/etc ... the sun is a beautiful thing

Getting married this year so I have decided to get a clothes dryer to ease our house chores. Is it worth it?
I am thinking of a sole dryer because I already bought a washing machine. House still in midst of renovation.

*Yes I just read about the guy who got famous because he bought a dryer for his wife

*How about gas clothes dryer?

My unit is combo. 

Sometimes the comforter doesn't dry thoroughly under the sun. You can feel the cotton fabric is dry. But not inner. So after a month and rotate use again, smell the mold.

Nowaday, after under the sun, I will put in the dryer to spin again.

I have a dryer at home and I love it. It beats wasting your time hanging each article of clothing on a rack, waiting for sun or worrying if it rains.

The benefits out weight the cons.

Now i'm not sure whether i need a 8kg dryer or 9kg dryer...

to pair with my 9kg front load washer...

I understand the weight is for when our clothing is dry... so a 9kg washer should theoractically be paired with a 9kg dryer IF it always run full load...

But the 9kg dryer is running nearly $2k more then the 8kg ones

dryer very handy, but very expensive to operate.

Not really. My bill hardly find the dryer operating cost in it.

New technology dryer save the bill.

Don't buy old tech dryer to save. Your bill doesn't save.

Buy LG's dual inverter.. terus extra $1000....

Sometime I feel this inverter feature are scam.

The way it operate and short time wash doesn't look like need to be control by inverter. Unlike aircon.

Main dryer suck energy is the heater. So look for heating feature like condensor type or heat pump that save alot in operating cost.

My 1 is condensor dryer combo. Heat is recover/recycle to save bill.

#1 Fridge must inverter.
#2 Aircon

Those 2 inverter slashed my TNB bill by nearly 50%
