I brought the table leg rubber cup from DIY shop. Cut it lower and place at the WM stand. It should stop the WM dancing around when spin.

To increase the height, get the cement block that normally use for fridge. It come in green color. Maybe can get it from some electrical applicance shop. Or if you buy Samsung WM, they have option accessory for extend up the WM. it is like a platform.

Hi Guys,

I live in a condominium and the sales guy told me that for my dryer, I am much better off using condenser dryer as using a vented dryer generates more heat and I need an outlet for water to flow out too. Is this true? Cause condenser dryers cost around double vented dryers.

Looking at washer and dryers from Electrolux, Bosch or Indesit.

they say electrolux very good. and front door better than top door. anyone confirm?

This is quite a general view and quite bias.
Just spend some time to check both of the top loader and front loader for the specs. To get 1l less of water usage, you need to pay extra rm1000.
So getting a front loader to "safe" water won't stand. Not to mention when the rubber seal fails, you get flash flood nearby.

1l won't really matters, as savings from other places are more obvious.
Using any type of WM won't safe water in the first place, hand wash yes.

Nope, front loader never and forever will not be 1 step above hand washing.
And front loader waste more energy also, as for 10 year run you need to send it for service. Considering the manual work required. Squad down also very bad for health.

Using 1 right now and it has more problem than my old top loader.

You are wrong side, from what i big jump over front loader has save more water.

Top loader used more water and shorter duration time for completed job vs front loader take 1 hour and 20mins but really used lesser water and more cleaning than top loader.

Samsung WW8000 - 12kg front loaded

use Top detergent, but don't wash jeans or kaki type of cloth.

Is it? Mine never have any problem on drying.

That's why I never use dryer to dry any laundry. I'll just use wind dry.

After every wash, you should be using the WM's spin to spin extra 1-2 times. It can help.

when it rains humidity goes up. The clothes already laden with that will find it very hard to dry. Even if line dry, shelter it with deep roof extension from the rain could possibly help except for the torrential kind unless it's in the backyard facing the back of neighbour's house.

My old house backyard was extended and covered. Rain or shine clothes still dry. Zinc roof top. Also have extractor fan for the rainy days issue.

Even if covered with roof but if still left exposed to the elements like slight wind that can steer the rain in, it won't help if those conditions are present. My first dwelling in condo like that. Windy like anything which is good for people and clothes except when raining. So had to install cheap IKEA venetian blind against the security grill in the dry yard where the hanging rod is. Had an old working table which my wife use as an ironing board under which the washing machine sits. That area is prone to get wet when windy rain. That part I had to use a shower rod and curtain to help shelter. The hem is weighed down so even strong wind cannot lift.

In my old landed home, both my neighbours on the left and right has already extended their back yard and bricked it up. So there's no gap left to chancy wind bringing in rain that can wet the clothes. The backyard roof extends out about 2 feet but even strong windy rain don't come in where the grill and mosquito netting is. I guess it's a combo of zinc roofing, totally sheltered left and right plus large fenestration (grilled back from 5ft up covered with mosquito netting) that helps clothes to air dry.

Of course, the washing machine used helped. I use a Hitachi Big Drum 8kg that spins up to 1600rpm. The residual moisture content is about 44%, way drier than my older front loader which is also considered can dry even at 1000rpm. Big bedsheets no issue due to drying area environment. Extractor fan helps dry faster during the rain as it promotes wind movement.

The Hitachi has tub cleaning program that takes advantage of spin speed to cut down mould and detergent residue build up. Both the front and top load Hitachi has this. Highly recommend.

While checking at Hitachi fridge, saw their washer/dryer model. The spec not bad.

Big drum, auto self clean, heat iron, heat recycle drying, steam iron, DD inverter motor, silent and many more.

Most impress is it energy saving. 500w for wash and 1350w for drying. With the load of 10.5/7kg, it quite low energy using.
