i think u misunderstood.. haha..

the 40cm is referring to the wall behind my door, after i open the door..

with HOUM installed at the ceiling, total length space i have is about 180cm, and this machine length is 132cm, but the rod can be extended to 232cm.

after hanging clothes, i can just put the rod back up near the ceiling, so it wont really disturb anything else..

Oh sorry, ok it wasn't made clear initially. Anyhow, sometimes that's easily esolved with a bifold door that folds the other side from the original door as long as the rods clears it when extended. But not an issue since the ceiling mount also can.

yeah, planning to change door to bifold door sometime in the future.. now doing reno for the rest of the house first.

appreciate your input!

No worries! Let us know how it turns out and looking forward to your review as there are not many Houm users feedback to be found.

Any review about the product? How do you think so far? Is it really use lesser electricity than standard dryer?

On average, how long does it take to for the clothes to be completely dry?

Thanks.

well it turned out that my space cant fit the Houm Super Dryer. So i just requested for refund last weekend. there is a manhole in the ceiling which limits the space I can install the dryer..

So now, i dont know what I should use. I really want the Houm Super Dryer. I hv the option to install the manual pulley type, but because that one I need to be 100% sure that it can fit, before I buy. So I have not bought it yet.

Ohh nooo. Sorry to hear that mate. I am currently looking into Houm Super Dryer and Steigen (from Singapore) but couldn't find much review about these products. I tried to feel the heat from Houm but it didn't feel too strong/hot. Maybe it needs some time to heat up as the brochure stated that it could go up to 40 degree celsius.

May I know which shop you bought it from? I found one in Jalan Ipoh area at RM2388

Sorry to hear. What if you peep through the manhole to see if there is any space that can be reclaimed and modify the plaster ceiling accordingly.

At least in SG, there would be a site visit to inspect for suitability first before buying. Their vendors would advise accordingly.

I was looking at this for my new house. Haven't decided if I need it as my washing area/yard will have enough sunlight in covered space to dry naturally ... Not to mention we have 2 sets of washing machines and dryers!

Houm is a market leader. It claims to save up to 70% electricity bill. But if you turn on the heater all the time then may be not so much. This is for people that prefers to dry their clothings naturally. Price is not cheap as you can get a decent dryer with that price.

There is another China brand called Precious Lady. Specs wise is quite good and sales pitch is impressive. However I checked their FB and there was a negative customer complaint. However they have much cheaper model without heating element and with mechanical lever to move the rack up and down. They are probably in Homedec in April

Dont buy at your shop! hahaha.. I went to Best Denki 1 Utama, it is selling for RM2064. If you want extended warranty also can, add another 10%. Pm me if u want the saleslady's contact number.

Well, the installer said can install like a steel bracket, but then it will affect opening my door. To fix this problem, I will have to change my door to a sliding foldable type which might cost me around rm800 to replace the door... haha..

Steel bracket means wall mounted and suspend it from the cantilevered pole jutting out? That solution is meant for plenty of wall but ceiling unable to take the load e.g.landed properties.

Yes, changing to inward folding bifold doors should overcome the issue.

But just curious, what's above the space covered by the manhole? Does waste piping crisscross the ceiling such that it hinders installing the Houm up there?

My space is about 180cm, bcos of the manhole, it reduced to probably 130cm, and towards nearer to the door opening position.

Attached thumbnail(s)

Thks for sharing. On paper, it looks like it's possible to tumpang the AC ledge 80cm with the 1280cm from the laundry area except that you've to be careful about the beam dividing the two areas which can do serious damage to the rods. Means when extended, the laundry rack cannot be retracted all the way up.

This works so long as:
1. No plumbing along the place where Houm will be mounted under the ceiling in the form of drain waste pipes or embedded water supply line or city gas line (if applicable)
2. the kitchen-laundry yard door is changed to inward folding bifold
3. No door to the AC ledge
4. Height of AC ledge access is e.g. least 7.5ft or can be made to accommodate 8.5ft or below the beam. (Subject to Building engineering approval)
5. Width of ceiling suspended rack such that the bed linen / blanket rod can be pulled out without obstruction ( can fit within 62cm width)
6. No AC compressor blocking when entering the AC ledge

Purely looking at the paper, it will avail 128+15+80cm by 62cm (LxW).

really appreciate ur thought. but for me, going to the A/C ledge also not possible bcos i closed it off (my house nearby highway, so its quite noisy).

so i think option 2 possible. but need to change door...

im also worried that after changing to bifold door, then it wont be as quite as normal door. hahaha

Sorry, cant remember the price ... being using for about 10 years. Did it during reno.

Hi everyone,

so I am still trying to solve my clothes hanger issue... saw this at a friend's place.

any idea how to DIY? OR where I can get the rod / wall hook?

What's the point of the super dryer when it is more expensive than a dryer.

What is super dryer ?

What special about it ?

Look at TS 1st post. It looks like a place to hang clothes and a hair dryer pointing to it to dry the clothes.
