lemontee 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Hi all,Need opinion about the washer cum dryer.Due to the space concern, I may purchase the washer cum dryer. Now eyeing on LG DD model.But the sales person mentioned for those washer cum dryer, it need around 4-5 hrs to dry the clothes and of course the capacity is different between the washer and dryer. That mean if I want to dry i need to manually to took out the clothes when switching to dryer.Any input for those who are using washer cum dryer now?Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuasbird 2 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 That mean if I want to dry i need to manually to took out the clothes when switching to dryer.currently at my old place m using samsung wd j12555. as stated: washing 8kg load whereas for drying, it's 3.5kg. if ya washing a load of more than 3.5kg, then m afraid the answer is 'yes'...manually you may have to, for the sake of its lifespan, take out those extras kg. i do exceed that kinda kgs most times but try not to go overboard in order to be kind on your wallet personal note:now presuming it's jus 3.5kg load of clothing i put out to wash, still i do not think it's advisable to carry on with tumble drying immediately (or follow thru the programme) since this may have clothing strunk by centimetres. wat i usually do is to hang em up for breezing after wash, then prior to the next washing routine (ie. following day) i would then have these tumble-dried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long will it take for the dry process normally?So your advice is not to go for dry immediately after wash.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuasbird 2 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 How long will it take for the dry process normally?So your advice is not to go for dry immediately after wash....I set it at the minimum 30mins...which is thorough enough after a good 15-18hrs of breezing. 2 adults 2 children load.Exactly. I tried that years back (using separate dryer then) & realised shirts do strink over time. This had been confirmed by a frd later on so I dun proceed with the full programme now - washing followed by straight drying.Pinch of salt. May like to seek experts' confirmation?

May like to seek experts' confirmation?if ur clothes do shrink its due to a different or wrong settings, eg wool drying in cotton cycle due to higher temp or ur dryer does not have a sensor technology. However most dryers have sensing technology nowadays so shld not have too much problem. For a washer cum dryer though, do take note of 2 things. They need longer time to dry as the condensing effect takes a longer time , and also they dun have a fluff filter, as compared to a separate dryer, so some fluff dun trap that well.
