Hi guys,

I have been recommended these two brands for washing machine and dryer as separate unit. Most are pushing for Samsung but I have been reading bad feedback on it. Both similar pricing.

Appreciate if you guys could advice

I used Samsung once at hotel. Macam not nice

But at my rented apartment have a LG washer dryer. So far so good. Quite happy with it.

LG for life's good

Xiaomi

Washing machine, LG seems good

Im using one

How's the drying? I actually wanna get combo and just sell it away in 4 years time when I shift but my wife wants to get two separate unit so that we can just bring along next time.

But Samsung is innovative wit all smart functions, which I personally feel it's bullshit

Using lg front loader now
After 2 years keep getting water drain error

Front load? I have been reading that LG is more reliable. Especially Samsung ones all touch screen. But not sure about the drive. Belt (samsung) vs direct drive (LG)

Oh crap legit may I know ur model?

LG better

LG
samsung stuff for their household appliances are just overpriced

Using LG washing machine (top load, 2 different sizes) and Electrolux dryer. LG washing machine is very reliable, just remember to take care of it (clean filter frequently, use tub clean, etc) Dryer also.

combo not recommended, we asked around quite a few places and they all said that if either one component kaput, you basically render the whole machine useless.
just get the 2.

My long term experience was with Electrolux and LG and both are combo.

Can I try to reason with you to pls get a combo.

1. Safe space.
2. Most important its convenient. You dump forget about it. Can go sleep or go jalan jalan no need to worry about the drying.

Some will easy to rosak la but seriously these thing will last at least 7 years. It pays back with convenience you enjoy.

Haha yes, but I'm aiming to use it for 4 years only. Then we will be moving to our own house, where we would buy both separately. Kinna lazy wanna shift them. But if have to, maybe we will just buy both now.

Looking at both LG and Samsung but can't decide as both are same price as combo.

Haha ya .. but drying is not that good I heard.

Drying is good to have. But really most time I hang out or to dry. So get a combo je. The dryer will be a sore eye and waste space

The 9kg model

You're either gonna shift one or 2 machines, to me personally that's not a big diff if you're gonna get a moving lorry for that anyway.
Front loader means you have to clean the gasket frequently as well, pray that nothing breaks down post warranty 😑

Ultimately it's up to you, you can have the combo for convenience, or separate for future proofing. In case dryer Kong can use the sun 🌞





Washer dryer separate is cheaper than combo, lul.

I don't wan to hang anymore .. that's the reason why I'm getting a dryer. Too time consuming to dry indoor. Not home most of the time to drag my clothes out during the day.

Haha I'm looking at the same brand so that I can stack them up. Space is rather limited for me. Getting 2 in 1 is just for temporary so that I can sell it when I move, and get a better one in the future. But the dilemma now is, should I just bite the bullet now then I don't have to buy them again in the future. Haha.

again entirely up to you, we also bit the bullet when we purchased this because we had an urgent need (moving into another place, baby came 2 months early, so on) and it wasn't feasible to purchase one standalone washer and combo because it was out of our budget. Now a bit of a pain to move them back, but we'll arrange for movers once the time comes.

regardless pick whichever you're most comfortable with.

to me ...i will go for whichever that cheapest with highest capacity?

and maybe if both is inverter then should be ok?


i went for samsung because got samseng Corporate EPP

You realise drying will damage your clothes overtime. Some of my tshirt shrunk.

Yeah .. that's why I shortlisted these two after survey.

I think only LG is inverter but Samsung is belt.

If I have the option for that I would go for Samsung too haha .. cheaper

Can always buy new clothes. Hahaha .. I'm not too bothered about it .. I just need a dryer. I have to wash 3 to 4 times per week now, which is a hassle to hang them everyday.

I’m usng LG combo washer dryer.

Better just buy separate unit.

Using LG washer and dryer (separate units).

Inverter refers to the motor. Motor is either coupled to the drum with belt or directly (direct drive).

Oh right, sorry so my previous understanding was wrong. Thanks for correcting. So, should I go direct or belt? Or either is fine?

To me, no difference as belt is cheap to DIY replace. I chose an LG washer, and it only comes with DD.

Didn't have good experience with Samsung appliances, so I avoid Samsung.

What's your experience with them? The model I'm looking at for LG has been in the market for couple of years according to the sales person. Whereas, the Samsung ones that I'm looking at are about a year old.

I'm more concerned about reliability. I don't mind it's older but reliable. One thing about Samsung, they love to release new models every year but only minor updates just to get people to buy.

I see, what's your comment on it? I'm more intrigued by Samsung's own cleaning where it cleans the whole drum including the rubber area, which according to the sales person LG doesn't have that.

LG, life is good

For cleaning, LG has an app that monitors your washing cycles. After 30 cycles, it reminds you to do tub cleaning.
In tub cleaning, you can add those tablets (sold at Mr DIY) snd the machine will wash the tub at iirc 90degC. It kills off moulds. Water will splash/wash the gasket too.

After every laundry washing, wipe the door gasket and leave the door open.

LG more reliable for washing machine

Samsung more reliable for fridge



I also using LG washer dryer. 2 years so far no issue, only just replaced absorber last month but I think this is mostly my fault due to balancing.

The LG ThinQ app sometimes very useful, especially for remote start. Can just load the cloths, turn on power, then I can go out and maybe 1 hour before I reach home remote start the washer so by the time I reached home it's done and ready for drying

Yrs, front load, nak jimat space sikit

LG with direct drive inverter, usually the size a bit more compact compared to other brands.

I move from Samsung to lg. Good move.

Don't buy those combo washer n dryer, get separate unit.

Electrolux. Why you even consider LG or Samsung for washing machines? If you buy TV then yes this two brands but not washing machines lah!

LG is well known for their washing machines, amongst the best with Bosch and Electrolux probably.

Not Samsung though

For those with separate LG Washer Dryer, any of you stack them up?
The LG stacking kit doesn't seem to be available in Malaysia....

Electolrolux dryer has water proof design just FYI. I don't recall needing kit to stack. You just stack them up.

It's pretty much the biggest selling products here. While some sales do recommend them but it seems the functions are not as advanced as these two brands

Better to stack them up by having it secured. More space too

LG for washing machine and dryer

Get LG and thank us later

I have two lg washer dryer n 1 Samsung washer dryer. One lg is almost 13 yo while the Samsung 7 years but died recently. Samsung quoted almost 1k to repair. Bought a tcl washer dryer for less than 1.3k instead.

Ayam using LG. Replacing Ayam 8 or 9 years Samsung.

New one tends to be quieter & nice to use.

What model of LG did you get?

LG T23xxxxxx

Close your eyes go for LG

Yes. After comparing I go LG. Smaller in dimensions than Ayam the older Samsung but same capacity

LG

Im using washer/dryer daily. Wash+dry took me 2-3hours.

Definitely LG, my uncle house has a LG washing machine very easy to operate, press button wait 40 mins & the clothes are done & dry. Much simpler than my Toshiba washing machine
