How big does a washing machine need to wash a king size comforter?
That's my only worry if I were to use front loading washing machine.

When it comes to dryer, electricity bill will be expensive due to the heating element.
From what I read It cost about Rm1.50 -RM2 to operate a dryer for one load.

Hmm interesting, what models currently in the market using this method of drying?

The hot steam to dry method?

Can't seem to find this method of drying in the LG website.

just used my Panasonic 128VA2...not bad, quiet and no complains.

Since both are inverter then reliabililty,price and after sale service should be the deciding factor.

Rm2200 + rm50 delivery Harvey Norman during one of their promtions. The one i bought is 8kg , 1200rpm max spin speed. There's the cheaper 7kg one but since I'm using it to wash the comforter, I chose the biggest one.

The rest of the front loading brands, electrolux, bosch is 600-700 ringgit more expensive than Panasonic for 8kg load and I don't think it's even inverter. I do think Panasonic is more value for money.

Initial impression is that is quieter than my previous top loader and my clothes come out less wrinkled and it has the ability to heat up the water for washing. Nothing to complain about at this moment.

Planning to get a dryer, are these prices cheap or expensive?

Also Is it a good idea to get washer/dryer combination?
Does anyone here have experience with it? (>1 year) Pros and cons?

The Panasonic inverter washer dryer made in japan looks nice.
It's expensive but I don't mind it if it can last 10 years , but I'm so worried it will breakdown within 2 years.
