Some electric appliance shops said it cannot be stacked because too heavy safety issues
But some said can but with the same brand of washers and same brand of stacking kit

Can heat pump dryer be stacked?

If it is designed with option to be stacked, then it should be no problem.

Tgk manual say can or not. But jgn assume can sebab manual didn't say cannot.

Can be stack but not recommended due to weight. If anything wrong they will charge you extra to lift it up and down

Manual says can

Heater is light weight. Many models designed to be stacked. Stacking those non-stackable models will pose to possibility of dryer to slip and fell down because no interlocking mechanism like stackable model.

I see, is this for particular brand or all brands?
Thanks, will give the brand customer support a call before buying

So, it is safe to stack. I don't own one. So, not sure if the unit comes with accessories to stack it safely.

This was told to me by Electrolux
Not sure about other brands.
Btw heat pump dryers take longer time to dry your clothes
In the end I bought condenser type. Need their stacking kit

Heat pump dryer is 10- 15 kg more heavier than condenser dryer, one the website most is around at 50kg close to washing machine weight which is around 70kg, just not sure about the the stacking, cause this is the first time I’m stacking them.

Need to buy the stacking kit separately and it’s different by model, according to the manual

The dryer is lighter. If it’s stacked above, there’s no issue. Ive been using it for more than 20 years. Each brand about 10 years. I’m on my third pair. I’ve not used any of the “stacking kit” before but I imagine it being safer in case the dryer move out of position.

I just checked all the Electrolux heat pump models, all can be stacked with kit, i don’t know either, cause the 3 different sellers was using the same pamphlet by Electrolux showing no stacking, but now I checked the manual, stacking is allowed. Then the other sellers told me can, there’s one showing me the stacking kit by Electrolux that will go on top if I buy from him right now.

I think I will just either have to give Electrolux a call or maybe just get other brands to be safe

The most important point is that it is lighter than the washing machine.

I used to own 2 in 1 Lux washer/dryer. I was thinking in case I need it during rainy season, but end up hardly use it. Later the blower stuck. . Never bother to repair it until time to replace new washing machine.

Bad idea to buy washer/dryer because drying capacity is always about half the washing full load to ensure proper drying. So, every time full load wash, you need to dry them twice longer.

Heat pump is just easier on you clothes since most of them run at around 40c, even those cannot be used on dryers, you can put it in too, it save electricity won’t heat up the room.

Too used to heat pump I can’t go back to condenser dryer

If manual says that you can stack it, then you can stack it. Manufacturers of these things are quite conservative on what they say they can do

EXACTLY!
Need the stacking kit for safety.

boleh, i stacked mine.

Washer dryer combo, is never a wombo combo, especially for Malaysians who don’t use it most of the time, cause every time you use even without drying, you’ll end up deteriorating the heating elements and the electronics parts.

And most of us just buy heaviest load capability, put everything in for convenience, when you are supposed to separate clothing types and follow the number limits for each clothing type, going with washer dryer with the expectation of convenience when it’s not compared to hanging to dry

I stack my 9kg heat pump on 8.5kg washer

Well, some condo/apartment have almost no space for hang dry that make it necessary to have dryer, unfortunately.

Not recommended.

even if you have a stacker, the dryer on top can be easily toppled.

Shouldn’t be buying those units in the first place, people has been buying them like crazy it seem like a some kind of reward for those developers allowing them to get away with it even with defects.

Should’ve left it rot, be sold at loss.

just buy a rack to put in between

If you intend to use it on daily basis, buy washer and dryer separately. Washer/dryer combo is for those who want to use it occasionally when raining.

Yep. I have the washer dryer combo. I only use it few times a year when weather wasn't good for drying "normally". If I use it regularly, I would get a separate unit with the same capacity as my washing machine instead of half of it that combo has.

I optimize for the most of the time rather than "but sometimes"

I'm using Samsung heat pump dryer, best investment ever. Very energy efficient and dries faster than i expected. Easier installation since don't need to vent, I just drain it to the same drain pipe that the washing machine was plumbed to.

I'm using separate washer and dryer machine because I have 4 people in the family and I extended the kitchen to the yard, no more space for drying haha.

Adds how much to monthly bill?
frequency of use?

Same, when I was shopping around, the same model shown in Australian website got say about stacking but not malaysian site. I called the customer service they say can stack but need to pay extra for installation and future maintenance need to pay extra for lifting it to the floor and back on the washer. Just need to pay extra that's all

What I saw from the Malaysian website shows the ability to stacked

i asked before in harvey norman.

when stacked above, it is usually upside down; else your control panel it too high to reach. you will need models that can be stacked. not all models can stack.

and, need to buy stacking accessory; don't simply stack, later it might topple due to vibrations during operation.

We use it about 2-3x a week. I'd say its about Rm1-2 per wash for my price tier. I think for more exact consumption, its probably best you check if there's a power rating out there.

My bill is adding around rm30 per month with everyday use.

Ahh ..topic bout dryer machine,

ayam oso thinking to buy this type https://s.lazada.com.my/s.5TQsN

wonder ok anot
