Washer is almost a must for every house. What about dryer?

[AFV_V200]

Some say dryer is good to have some say no. I am kind of torn to get a dryer.

What I found from my friend was, after the cloth came out from washer and throw into dryer. It will come out from dryer very fluffy and soft. I like the touch.

 

What say you guys?

You would buy an Alfa without second thoughts. What's a dryer?

[Albeniz]

When I was in US, it is a necessity and every household has one.

 

In Singapore, I have never used it here. Good to have but not sure about the electricity bill though.

I also thinking of getting one, Year end wet season very headache with laundry

 

dun like the idea cos it may damage some fabric .

[WTF]

Don't see the need in our weather here.......plus the current washer bought a few months ago, the spin dry cycle is already quite good in its job........even my colleague who bought the same washer told me that his mum said the same thing too....

[Icedbs]

I heard there are washer with dryer built in. So just one unit will do. Save space.

 

Are those any good?

you will appreciate when the rainy days come, but not when the bill comes to save $$, let your wet clothes hang over night b4 going into the dry, to make it soft. ( 90min vs 20min)

use it wisely and you can be a happy man, rain or shine.

yes, the current 1000+ rpm spin dry cycles are POWER! it literally dry to the touch.

But wo sunshine + indoor air drying, the damp smell will still exist, no matter wat detergent you used. only way to beat it is a dryer + "dryers" paper .

Just get it lah.

$400 money well spent.

Helps to dry the clothes faster.

Even can dry your shoes and dry nuts and make crispy apple chips. Just have to get the dryer that can insert a stationary tray inside the dryer!

 

I have being using it for the past 10 years.....can't imagine life without it anymore.

My washing machine came with the drying function. End up never use cuz when want to dry only can half load. So end up we just hang at the open area in the house rather than use the dryer. Got the machine with the dryer at first thought then can convert the open area for other uses.

In the Northern parts of USA, & other temperate countries, there is not enough sunlight & heat during teh colder months, & a wet clothes can end up damage from being iced when hang outside.

For washing normal clothes i never had to use the dryer, even if it's raining whole day. But it's very useful for bedsheets n towels. These take alot of space to hang dry, which i simply don't have in the apartment (those stay landed no problem lah). Getting the sheets n towels thoroughly dry is also good cos these r stored away. If even slightly damp n u keep, its gonna smell.

newer hdb got place to dry ur cloths?

 

i heard some of the bamboo pole postion are at no-sunshine location.. take 2~3 days just to dry a jean??

true boh??

[Fcw75]

Just get one if you have the space. It's something that will come in handy when you need to dry the clothes fast.

 

I have a basic Electrolux one, good enuff.

 

I only need 1 set of bedsheet. Take out, wash & dry and 2 hrs later can put back to use.

I'm using Samsung 2 in1, model WD8804CJZ. 8kg washer, 4 kg dryer, made in Korea. Gentle on clothes n durable. Washer spins almost 5x a week, if not everyday. Use since Sept 2010, n occassionally use dryer function. It's pretty good so I would recomnend it. Made in Korea washer is pretty durable, my last LG made in Korea 6g washer lasted 6years while spinning 4-5x per week, and only belting is misaligned n starts jumping. I throw it away when sell house. Take note, for LG or Samsung, if made in Korea, the label on the appliance will state made in Korea. If its says made by LG or Samsung, then its made in China or other countries.
