New HDB Laundry Setup

[helinoob]

Hi everyone.

Was discussing with my wife on how we should dry our laundry when we move into our bto next year.

Was wondering if the hdb provided solutions are good enough, or we should budget for a dryer or automated laundry rack.

What do you guys think? Mind sharing your laundry setup?

Just KISS or Keep It Simple Stupid.
Don't need spend so much money when it's not necessary and needs proper maintenance.
Last time people also don't have these gadgets and they still can get by.

Get a maid and use whatever HDB provides.

Your wife won’t enjoy washing, hanging, folding and ironing clothes everyday.

I have an $200 + automated rack that I got from taobao. Basic model that goes up and down and with light (non UV light and no fan)

I got it cos I am not confident that I can put my laundry out safely.

I also have a spare fan in the kitchen to blow at it to help dry faster.. installation fee is $100 arranged by my Reno contractor.

I use a beko heat pump dryer. V easy. Just throw in. 3 hours later all done.

Energy cost v low fr heat pump dryers. Paid 850 in 2017 for it. Till today working like brand new. I clean n take care of the dryer v well. Maybe that helps. My helper after drying will iron my clothes.

I did see my friend using the one where U gtta hang e clothes but it has some red light that drys the clothes. My brother in law also uses. cos at night the light red, v scary to me, look like haunted.

Anyways this is my set up. Sole washer sole dryer. Family of 5 including my helper.

whats the cost diff between automated laundry racks and dryer

No need to waste money... Just wash and hang to dry using the provided manual rack.

Cotton will shrink using dryer
Don’t know abt laundry system

 

[szeli]

use indoor drying detergent. not really necessary to have a dryer..

 

[OtterJoyful]

Singapore don’t need to waste money to dry clothes la. Why spend money to buy something to waste money, where the existing option of just drying the clothes in the air is free?

my washer/dryer only use the washing function. Dryer function use less than 5 times a year.

Auto one easily spoil or not?

Whatever you get, just don't buy combi washer+dryer. Will regret.

Dryer
It’s the next best thing after washer n fridge

but some clothes cannot dry must hang
Either dehumidifier n hanger or can try the “automated” rack

It’s a bad choice
Liked why would one pay so much to get one machine
Having both can run at the same time
Esp if working n go home need to zzzz some washer alone already 1hr washing for front load

But the bbfa will think they have gained weight. Hopefully this forces him to start dieting

I can see how one can earn 3 times the median and be poor at the same time.

Best is use the hang dryer with fan type

The laundry yard area in new bto cannot make it

Space is small
No sunlight is all obscured

Push for environmental friendly failed. Till date I resist to buy any dryers no matter how long it takes to dry my laundry

Forget about the past where our clothes dry in a few hours time

Buy a dryer. U won’t regret

dryer = gas/electricity expensive = good for lazy people
automatic laundry system = spoil after few years
manual laundry system = if well maintain, at least lasts for 8 years

if want to save costs, just hang on rack, then use fan blow/dehumifier/air dry.
