Midea vented dryer
Fast cheap good

but MD-C8800 is condenser right?

Condenser need to clean it very regularly
7388 is the vented

The Toshiba is same midea in different skin

alright, but need it for indoor.. so vented is not suitable..
what do u mean by "toshiba is same midea" ?

choose the vented 1…and find way to settle the exhaust hose.

else u gonna clean the condenser every cycle…else lint accumulated will stuck the water pump

Vent into a box. Put air filter there. Clean once a year

Midea oem for Toshiba

remember this hack if u don't want lint dust fly everywhere especially those with sensitive nose.

the core idea is to trap the remaining lint into water.

yes. Electrolux dryer board spoiled too. won't get another if I need to get a new dryer

I know this is out of your budget, but just sharing what I am using right now.

LG Dual Inverter Heat Pump dryer.

If you can top up, this is the one to get.

Been using it, super satisfied.

Dyson

dont want electrolux but considering china/korea brand.
lel good luck.

my personal experience with samseng washer, 1 years plus already spoilt, repair and breaks again after a year.

to me 5 years not that bad, not that great either.
if use nearly everyday, yes 5 years in service is very good.

my only advise with washer and dryer, dont get something with the latest tech like those IoT/smart stuff. get something that is matured, yet having high price tag.

Real man tell wimmiz to dry their cloth, dun matter if it is his maid, mother, wife, daughter or gf.

Beko condenser 7kg dryer.

Been using 3 years. So far so good.

Need to rajin clean the lint and periodically wash the filters

gas dryer all the way

replacement pcb board + UI + labor = close to rm800, 1mth warranty, worth the fix?

heat pump over budget.

so repair/fix the current electrolux should be good? it is hard to justify with only 1mth warranty.. total damage rm800

have you approach repair shop or not? (not via electrolux service center)?

but yeah rm800 is not justifiable, probably you should look for a new model, maybe from beko or panasonic or just re-consider electrolux back again.

beko seriously ok ah? which model and how much u got it?

didnt approach normal shop.. bet they will also get stock from electrolux msia.. and usually they have labor charge also even not doing anything..
beko ok ah?

if you take service via service center then many party need to makan la, part price + labor charge by contractor + additional charges made by service center.

if you already know the problem, then just go approach either one of the shop and quote right away.

many of these professional they already know what kind of problem you having just from the phone call alone, now got whatsapp even more easier.
last time my washer got coin stuck, i approach one of the shop via call, he just said leave it be as most of the case it will get unstuck by its own and only contact the shop back if the washer machine stop operating,he said it going to be very expensive procedure just to open the drum and i need some part replacement once the drum was opened.
guess what, the coin just got unstuck and it went to the bottom of the washer after some time.

Beko is big appliances manufacturer in Turkey. Guess selling mostly in European market. Only recently here.

Well, either bug or small name, majority is made in China anyway. Perhaps the big name use more expensive components than than less famous. In general probably it is more on bad luck.

My Electrolux washer dryer also faulty once but after 5 years.

Nobody buy condenser

Still the best option mostly for apartment living.

so if can use up to 5yr, is a good buy product then?

electrolux that bad? its actually quite famous in their laundry machines

Heat pump is better than condenser right, even for apartment living

Even big name like Electrolux do not employ technician to fix appliances. Normally they get 3rd party or even independent/freelancer to do the fixing. They do rpovide training and the person cover wide region. I know in the North, a person covers Perlis, Kedah, Penang and part of Perak.

When you call service center, they will contact this agent to go investigate and order necessary part. Depends on the person, sometimes, you can just call the person directly for repair. If the person have spare part in hand, he may not even need to report to the service center. Cheaper a bit

The person told me that they have to purchase the part from service center on their own, thus the faulty ones are not returned. He has many faulty board and ask if I can repair them, then it is good. I'm talking here about Electrolux. The young guy is doing that no more. Now different guy and I'm no more using Electrolux washing machine.

The first washing machine I used was Bosch and now still working. I gave it to sister in law and it has been more than 20 years I guess.

Nope. Everyone buy Heat Pump for apartment living and landed.

Nobody buy condenser. For landed you can still buy Vented.

That's why everyone throw away condenser now.

,Yes. That's why everyone throw away their condenser and replace with heat pump

Hard to say but for control board to fail is 5 years is still short time in my opinion. Well, Lux is not cheaper compare to similar product of other brands. Now, I'm no more using dryer but just washing only. Using Panasonic now and probably almost 10 years without problem. I'm in contract manufacturing for electronics board mostly and now China product selling to the US has to be shifted out of China. This is why Trump has helped Malaysia a lot

Ohhh, The door has broken latch, but you need to buy the whole door which cost RM200+ (I can't recall). I managed to find a person said to sell 2nd hand part. It turned out that the door looked so new without any sign of even hairline scrath . Cost me RM90 I think and I just fixed it myself.

I see. I'm outdated. Do not use dryer anymore. Maybe my house is too hot that even during rainy days can dry clothes too

Cannot be. Our country is humid. 😂
I think Dryer is important in Malaysia
If USA can dry inside house because of the heater.

Bosch employs in house technicians to do repair/servicing, at least in KV. Not sure about other states.

maybe i should give beko a try

KV perhaps because the number is worth hiring and concentrated.

Just joking a bit.

I have no problem getting clothes dry. Even during rainy days still dry in shaded place. Last time I have dryers but hardly use until blower also jammed.

U buy already?

Paid already during 10.10. But that stupid company in Lazada didn’t send out and lazada cancelled the order.

Planning to look in KV in physical shop this coming weekend for the same model since I managed to find two stores with display model on sale.

Ok good luck. That stupid company no reply already know got problem

Luckily it's cancelled 😂

They did reply after 3-4 times follow up. But then when actually paid they were procrastinating.

They are agent with no physical shop. That’s why they are kind of slow.

bosch?

Ya he is Bosch user
I just bought Samsung 9kg heat pump dryer. Very good.

how much u got the samsung heat pump..
heat pump out of my choices as over budget..
my current electrolux has been used for 5y+.. i think i should retire her
saw sh**pee, midea 8kg condenser can get less than 1k (don't mind trying china brand with that price), but seller never reply so a bit doubt the price..

I got for rm2.9k for 9kg

You can buy 8kg for rm2.3k

Every month save rm100 because it uses half electricity of condenser

My first dryer was an Electrolux 8kg heat pump dryer. After 1 year, cloth not dry anymore. They sent technicians to fix 3 times and after replacing the PCB, condenser, switches and so on, still not dry. So replaced it with LG double inverter heat pump 9kg dryer. After 2 years still going strong. Super duper satisfied.
My advice for all are 1.Vented dryer and condenser dryer sucks electricity like there's no tomorrow, so please get heat pump dryer.
2.Dust is the biggest problem for heat pump dryer. Pls use paint-brush and vacuum to clean the dryer filter frequently.
3.If your cloth is not dry after end cycle. Please feel the temperature at the back of the dryer. If the temp is lower than when the machine was new. Time to buy new dryer.
4.Related to no 3, I believe there's no qualified or skilled technician in Malaysia who knows how to repair heat pump dryer.
5.Don't buy any electrolux heat pump dryer. The will send Mr Joker to fix your dryer.

Why everyone throw away condenser?

It can be used indoor, and costs cheaper than heat pump.
