Is 10KG model only.
11.5KG about rm1200-1300. Never ask since my typical daily load about 3-5KG only.

1000l or 1m3 of water for Seremban is rm0.50 while 1KW/h is rm0.30.
A non inverter TL WM for 10kg consumes about 440W/h while an inverter TL for 11.5KG consumes about 480W of power.
An inverter FL requires 900-1500w/h of power.
If you are comparing TL to TL, nope, it dows not bring down the power consumption. Water maybe yes, maybe no.
But maintenance cost wise, inverter cost more, since it direct drive. Split type or with belt, the belt always the first part to fail and you can buy the belt from car spare part shops, usually <rm40. Changing the direct drive can be the belt's 10-20 times more
A typical FL weights about 60KG minimum, so spring cleaning will be a challenge, unless you are not going to clean that part.

Why not get 10KG instead? Then can wash twice only.
Base on your usage, either Panasonic or Toshiba TL will able to fit your bill.

Sure TL like that, don't waste money on FL.
We had a Samseng FL that close to fail after 2 years. But that's company provided, so who cares?

You see, busting myth and lies by fanboys/fangirls already been my hobby in Lowyat forum.

Yes, you are right, washing 2KG load do safe more, about 50% from any 10KG TL. But if I were to wash full load, that's double of what TL does

Wait, you are talking on washer dryer combo, no problem also, myth can still be busted
Normal wash requires 2-4 hours to complete the cycle, and most published numbers are based on kw/h. So, it translates to 2 to 3.4kw/h. Again, a TL longest wash cycle is 1 hour and that translates to 0.5 unit per cycle
And I'm doing unfair comparison also, using an inverter FL to compare a non inverter TL.
So, the myth of FL more superior's myth are busted

Because you only spend time on reading fanboy's review.
FL's actual load are only 50-75% from the stated load, detail you need to read the manual.
King size comforter are within the range in terms of weight for this FL, but not size. You still can wash, but it will behave differently
So just get a TL and you no need to worry too much.

Sure have difference. An 8kg TL can do 7.5kg without much problem, for FL, the most is 5-6kg. And don't expect it can clean your king size stuffs properly.

10KG TL will fit your bill. Can wash comforter, pillow cover and bedsheet
A 10KG FL you have to wash 2 times for the same stuffs

You see hor, when I buy something, I will read the manual first
No doubt a FL can boast it can wash 10KG load, but once flipping the manual, bigger items it actually can't wash. I've used a Samseng FL before, rated 7KG but can't wash a queen size comforter that weight 2KG
No doubt a FL "save" water, but again after flipping the manual, it only uses 10-20% lesser compare to a TL, that's not even under full load.
An inverter FL consumes more power than a non inverter TL, the difference are 50% more than TL, the TL I bought only requires <460W that clean a full load of 10KG for 50 minutes, while a FL that washes full load of 10KG need 2-3 hours. That's 900W of power per hour or 2 units for complete washing cycle.
Which is more wallet friendly in this economy?

Nowadays TL can safe water also. What a FL can do, a TL can do. but what a TL can do(like saving electricity), FL does not really can do.
The new TL I bought this month are quite good, laundries never tangle together, accidentally forgot to remove paper from pocket and it never cause havoc, just a bit noisy since it is using belt.

More on marketing myth and some fanboy's support

Actually for the same size, TL uses lesser power, since almost all setting are more or less fixed.
For WM, there's not much point and getting inverter, since the power usage difference won't be heaven and hell like air cond

Using direct drive indeed will be more quiet, but when the motor fails, it can cost you a bomb.
While using belt is the belt will be the first part to go and it will be quite cheap to replace.

You need to consider you typical daily load.

Then 10KG will do.

Sellers that are honest will only ask you to take 1st generation of Toshiba inverter(7 years back) or Panasonic.
They will prevent you on getting Hitachi and Korean brands.

If you don't know on warranty, don't spread bullshit.
Inverter or non inverter, most are still giving the same period of warranty, Panasonic are giving 12 years.
Get your facts right first.

10 years back they already giving 7 years warranty.
Inverter and non inverter are the same, with 7, 10 or 12 years warranty, condition is, you can only claim once in this period.
Is not like you trying to cheat people that only inverter giving 10 years. This is the part I say you are bullshitting

Not really, from last time before inverter are being introduced, the motor's warranty already have 7 years minimum. And once inverter models are introduced, most manufacturers are even extended the original 7 years to 10 or 12 years.

Powder wash, bubble wash or whatever wash you can think of, it is still the same, low sud for TL or FL and high sud for TL only.
Or to make it more simple, the manual will tell you what to be used.

Wow, after you tried your very best to twist here and there, it is still stated clearly both are giving 11 years of warranty for motor regardless of inverter or non inverter

Nope, is you that does not understand. Seller will directly tell the buyer motor have 11 years of warranty regardless of inverter or non inverter, direct or non direct all are the same, can only claim once in that period.
My Panasonic is using belt also giving 12 years warranty.
I'm still keeping my warranty card, so your lies are busted
