      I’ve been using Fisher & Paykel since 8 years ago. So far, it is lasting as we wash and dry daily. As for costing, we didn’t really monitor.


      However, now that duriz mentioned Bosch. Seems interesting as I’m tired of cleaning the lint out of the dryer.

        stacking the dryer over your current washing machine if its front load is best as it saves space. since my washer is top loading, i got a top loading Brandt Dryer. i've been using it for almost 10 years now... no complaints.

          :love: Thanks for all the kind recommendation. My current washer is top loader so my choice would be restricted to certain model/ brand that can fit into the space. I will check out the various brand mentioned.

            I am also an Electrolux fan and I believe in washer and dryer splitting up if you want to work concurrently.... 😉

                      i bought my 1st dryer in Oct2003 (Ariston/Meyer)


                      bought 2nd dryer after 5yrs exactly (Ariston/Meyer again) make your own conclusion but washer is still going strong since 2003!!

                      i cannot do without my dryer esp with no parents/parents in law/maid at home to do the hang up put out dry and keep if rain routine!!

                      i will use the dryer on alternate days (our clothes, DD clothes and our clothes) at least 2 hours each round, weekends sometimes additional 2-3 rounds with washing of bedsheets, towels, dog’s toys/beds/towels etc etc.

                      both dryers stack on top of my washer (oso Ariston/Meyer) to save space as new HDB all comes with a tiny kitchen and i dun have a service balcony/yard area, its just a small rectangular space tat house my washer/dryer/fridge and everything you would find in a small household’s kitchen, in fact kitchen table top so limited till i have to create a ‘hole’ in the cabinet to house the microwave!! so that is how small my kitchen is but i have a big side by side fridge which is not really huge in terms of storage. just the doors being side by side is a bit tricky to house in the small kitchen…

                      on the lookout for dryer #3 as current dryer #2 will trip the electricity if we dun (forget to) clear the ‘lint’ after each drying session. was looking at this brand, Miele, apparently the only brand in the market which comes with a sensor which is useful in conserving energy (PUB bills)… still considering as not v cheap…

                      i would prefer split unit ie 1 washer pair with 1 dryer as i have heard those 2 in 1 units not v ideal when it comes to the drying portion…

                        Miele washers and dryers are currently the best in the market. It has a patented honeycomb drum that ensures no creases are left behind on ur laundry and it has a special \" perfect dry\" sensor that senses the exact moisture level of ur laundry to determine the most accurate drying time, ensuring no over drying and under drying. It uses the least electricity, even lower than a gas dryer. However the low downs of this brand is the price. It costs almost 3k for this dryer, but for an expected 20yrs lifespan, its considered $ well spent.


                        They currently have a big promo going on to commemorate their 111yr anniversary, a honeycomb washer and honeycomb dryer package, individually retailing $6k for both, now packaged at $4388 with a few free gifts thrown in.. However last i heard its selling out soon..

                        Btw this is a youtube video on how the honeycomb drum can even wash roses, which means the most delicate clothes can be washed in a miele. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJwsSK2QEA8
