There are many combinations available for a front load washing machine and dryer. I am referring to 2 separate machines here.

Thus I seek for your suggestions and experiences on getting these.

This came about when I first saw Toshiba promoting such a set that comes with some sort of stacking device. My first thought was, wouldn't the vibration from the dryer topple the dryer at the top of the washing machine. From online search so far it's the only combo for that RM3000 price range not including delivery.

7.5Kg inverter washing machine TWBH85S2M
7Kg dryer TDH80SEM
RM2198

Or is it even possible to combine different brands for the stacking?

7kg is very small.

Yes, but it's within budget.

best combo now
toshiba/midea (they are the same unit oem midea)

Check whether the dryer is a ducted or condenser type (at that price, i doubt it is heat pump).
Ducted type would require running a duct to the outdoor to pump discharge the hot, moist air.
Condenser type has a condenser to collect the moisture and store it in a tank which needs to be emptied.

Its possible even from other brands, they will sell a stacking kit that basically serves as a mount between top n bottom machines. I see such kit exist for bosch, electrolux, beko to name a few..available for purchase online too.

However if you wish to mix n match diff brands top n bottom care must be taken to check physical dimensions as interbrand compatibility not guaranteed.

Just throwing the idea.

Since there isnt any standard on the stacking kit, it might be risky to have mixed models. Yes, agree with you on that.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like H80SEM dryer is vented. Needs to vent out hot air through a flexible hose.

Didnt understand the difference of duct/vented and condenser. That helped to clarify.

Some dryer can be wall mounted, especially vented type as they are typically quite light compared to condenser / heat pump type dryers.

Heat Pump dryers are the most energy efficient and the most expensive type as well.

Can buy third party rack like table to put ur dryer on top.

By rating.. heat pump only consume average 300watt
My condense lg is rated at 2600watt

How is it family.. mine 4.. I'm using 7 kg front load washer.. daily use

Found that LG machine provide a stacking gadget. If buying LG dryer then it will be OK.

Largest updates
All advice that a good front loader combination can't be found for that price range.
Better to have a top loader washing machine and another dryer matching.
Will increase budget to RM3500.

same brand should be ok.. different brand sometimes bit confusing

I bought LG dryer.. the stacking part given as FOC is only to be used with LF washer.. mine is Samsung

https://shopee.com.my/Washing-Machine-Stora...ASABEgIfePD_BwE

should be within that range..

some of the forum do propose using BEKO and Teka..

Unless your laundry area is very pack, it is not so advice to stack them up, it is quite a hassle to transfer the clothes when it is done washing up to the dryer

true .. the most hassle part is u using condeser.. whereas u need to drain out the water..

Actually it is possible. Just built a rack that can withhold the weight of the dryer and you are good to go.

Another option is to get a combo/2-in-1

some say it is not advisable..

many users share experience, not advice to get 2 in 1. If all is working, no problem. But when one problem occurs, you can't use any of the functions.
Don't know must wait until when the repair can be done. Meanwhile no washer and no dryer.

gas dryer all the way.

They have that for domestic use? What's the price like?

Anyhow, I don't have proper ventilation nor the space for that.

For home use only rinnai is available.
All you need is a window opening to ventilate hot air out.

Actually, if you don't have proper ventilation, you need to buy either condenser type or heat pump type. Otherwise your laundry area and adjacent area will be very hot & humid.

Hi all,
To report back and thank you for all your support. Had to up budget to RM3990 for a set of LG washing machine and dryer.
Pros:
- Could stack them, and I felt its secure
- Really quiet
- Washer includes notification via Android apps if have error such as load imbalance, progress of the washing
- Easy to clean
- Large enough to load bed comforter, blanket, bulky stuff and delicate underware
- No more sneezy nose from lint flying around compared to drying in sun

Cons
- Was double my budget
- Instruction manual was really basic
- Shop couldnt help with question after they delivered the machine
- Lacks reviews on use of the machines.

hi, can share what models you get and how you stack them?

LG seems quite good on this and they got their innovation tech

Good or not, I can't say as this is first time I have gotten such an appliance. Have been washing like bed sheets, towel, throwovers, jackets and new silky pjs. So far done about 12 washes and drying. It less sound than my old ceiling fan. Satisfied with the outcome.

LG had this app to Receive notifications via Internet on status of the washer and shop gave one RM50 TnG. The model is FV1409s4w and TD C7066W, but better to speak to your supplier for advice to your specific needs and budget.

Watch how it's stack at https://youtu.be/ypWf0YZ79EQ have to excuse me, wasn't an expert on recording.

Hello everyone! Let me share updates on these LG machines.

It has been 26 months since using the combination of these 2 machines. Using it weekly, and I find that it is delivering satisfactory wash and does drying as expected. These 2 LG machines are helping me to keep clean small garments, heavy clothes, towels, bedsheets and comforters.

1. 7 Kg LG dryer TD-C7066W
2. 9 Kg LG Washer FV1409S4W

If you are wondering why these sizes. I split the laundry to coloured, heavy/not heavy which means smaller amount to wash at a time. The 30 mins cycle is used on items that are not that dirty.

The items I have not tried are the curtains, that are still being done by hands, as I am unsure if they are safe for washing and drying in these LG machines. They looked too large to fit in.

The Android App known as LG ThinQ for the dryer just received its update on 25th May 2023, but I haven't used it since the update. Mainly due to LG login, needed to be updated at https://www.lg.com/my before I could use the updated App. Which, I have updated today and will try it later this weekend.

Anyone tried successfully to wash and dry heavy curtains in these machines? Any advice?

Still running good.
