Fifty investments made
The knot
It had to happen once, a new washing machine and now also a new dryer.
That's a big investment, of course, so I don't just buy anything. There is a little intuition, faith or trust in a brand but above all the specifications, durability and warranty. Now I came up with the brand Haier. Hardly heard anything yet but one and all praise in the reviews. By default, I always buy extra warranty with this type of stuff. 5 years of carefree washing and drying.
What I also thought was very important in the search was energy efficiency. Especially for my wallet and also a little bit for the environment. De Haier, I had already let my eye on that with 1400 rpm and energy class A+++ -50%, which means that with a full drum of laundry (8 kg.) it is no less than 50% more economical than an A+++ machine. It also has a direct driven drum so no strings and states anymore.
Also nice is that he is whisper-quiet and does not shake. The latter is also important because the dryer has to be placed on top of it.

The dryer, that was just a little thing. Earlier, I had a conventional tumble dryer, such an energy eater. That got too gory to me, and I got rid of it. Now I wanted a heat pump dryer, since these pieces are more economical with electricity than an ordinary one. Here Haier had an A+++ machine. On the said regular dryer there is no legal need for an energy label, because it simply fell outside all categories. Now a heat pump dryer takes a lot longer and that was annoying Friend. But I find it annoying when an energy-grueling dryer is turned on too often. The compromise now is: a heat pump dryer and that Friend can use the dryer as often as he sees fit, except in summer. (if it does not rain of course). There is also a steam function on it for example a shirt that has only been worn for one day.
Ik heb laatste een Princess wasmachine gekocht, A+++ 7 kilo inhoud met 3 jaar garantie, koste mij 249 inclusief thuisbezorgen en eventueel installeren. Voor mij alleen en wat ik te wassen heb kan dat ding een jaar of 10 mee 🙂
