Mousehunt 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 I am also thinking of getting the Thomson washer and dryer. But the dryer can only take up to 3kg load only. But I do agree someone that it is best that using sunshine to dry the clothes. But you know when the raining season comes and with the small drying area in those new HDB flats, more dirty clothes will pile up before the old one dries. That's where dryer comes in handy.

That's where dryer comes in handy.hmm, drying clothes using dryer is actually more hygienic than using sunshine... cos the hot air will kill the germs in the clothes whereas sunshine will not... furthermore, hanging clothes to dry will lead to the clothes collecting dust, dirt and germs, whereas the air in the dryer is cleaner because the air is filtered at the air inlet... so, in terms of cleanliness and hygiene, dryer is actually better than sunshine...

wtg54 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Went HL last Fri. They recommended Sharp LCD and Fridge. Mitsubishi Fridge and Bosch Washer (7kg, 600 rpm, $750). Dryer Elba (think was less than $500). I was still shopping, so haven decided which brand to buy yet. Haa.. Edited August 27, 2007 by wtg54 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
