Juz wondering, any better ways to hang the clothes outside of the window other than swinging the monsterous bamboo out?
Over load! So i assume that washing machine+dryer=overload, hence, they both consume tonnes of POWER!
The next thing i know, circuit breaker trip. Over load! So i assume that washing machine+dryer=overload, hence, they both consume tonnes of POWER!
What's interesting is clothes dryer are exempted from listing down their wattage as per other electrical appliances. I have always been curious about them. It is very difficult to find any info on their energy consumption. But i finally managed to track down a website that states the energy consumption and its like 5000 watts (not sure if this is a correct number but i see no reason to doubt as they have listed down other appliances and those seems accurate)

So.. clothes dryer or not ... go figure ....
My laundry area used to have only 1 electrical plug. Meaning if want to use dryer and machine together got to used the multiple plug. 1 fine day i found that the multiple plug had melted, damaging the socket as well. It probably meant that the load was so high that the plastic of the multiple plug cannot take the heat and melt.. Circuit breaker din trip though. :think: Had to spend $100 plus to get a new socket. We installed a new 2 output socket. so no problems so far.
Eh mine seems to be labelled leh.... It says something like 2.7KW.
Btw, 2.7KW is how many watts? 2700watts??
Another alternative for dryer would be to get gas heated dryer, especially for those homes with pipe-in gas from SP. I believe your utilities bill will be lower as compared to using an electric dryer.
If you have a service balcony, you can also install your aircon multi-unit compressor in the service balcony. Just hang your clothes in the service balcony, switch on your aircon, and within an hour, all your clothes will be dry.
Thats what my parents did for their house. Their reason for installing the compressor in the service balcony is for easy maintenance of the compressor. But you got to make sure your service balcony can be close off to the rest of the house:bsmilie:. Still it turned out they can both dry their clothes quickly while enjoying the cool aircon in their room.
ahhh ... light @ the end of the tunnel .. 2.7 KW is 2700 watts
which brand is this, if u dont mind sharing ..
