Hi thinking of buying a washing machine

Nowadays have those 2 + 1 washer / dryer, or separate.

Just thinking has any one used the 2 + 1, experiences, pros & cons.

It's quite temptiing cos it can surely save a lot of space.

Thank you

Mil who stays with us dislikes dryer - electricity bill, leave "smell" after drying. I guess old ppls are more resistance to change.

With today's shoebox floor area and even changing weather, definitely I like to have a dryer. The only concern is the lack of UV light while drying.

I supposed after drying, all cloth need to be ironed, whether T shirt or singlet.

Some suggest to have separate washer and dryer.

Reason.

1. If 1 function spoil, don't need to buy the whole machine. Just replace the spoil machine

2. Understand if the washer is 10kg, dryer will be 1/2 of the weight. If it is a combine machine.

Is this the 1st time you're getting a washing machine and dryer?

Whether yes or no , here is my suggestion by asking yourself:

1. Determine how many time you need laundry in a week

2. Determine whether you want to hang your laundry outside your house.

3. Do you want to wash your clothes and same time dry it? This usually for someone who doesn't have time for laundry.

4. Do you want to save some untility bill??

with some of these, you should narrow down your selection.

Opinion 1: if you hardly use the dryer, then I would advise you either don't buy the dryer or get the combi model. This would save some space and $$$.

Opinion 2: Seperate washer and dryer if you use both very often. in many cases, dryer will consume a lot electrical energy. if you've better budget, then you should choose dryer with 4 green ticks(watchout the price tag). Minimally, I'd choose a 3 green ticks dryer.

Very informative and a good guideline...I'm still considering whether I should get a dryer....

U may wanna consider getting the dryer from Citygas, it's running on gas and pretty conservative on the electric usage.
