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?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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. :(
