Laundry is the eternal chore that consumes our nights and weekends, leaving us yearning for more time. But what if there was a solution that could transform this mundane task into a breeze?
Enter the automated laundry system–a game-changer in the world of household appliances. From fast drying to smart home connectivity, these cutting-edge systems offer a plethora of features to make laundry day a thing of the past.
So, what should you consider when shopping for one? Let's dive in.
1. Hot air drying
For busy individuals who bulk wash laundry or households with more than 4 headcounts, laundry drying assistance is highly recommended, especially during the rainy season. If your family includes young children, all the more reason to install such a system as 60ºC is the ideal temperature to rid germs and bacteria on your clothes while fast-drying them.

2. Space-saving design
In today's BTO spaces, maximising every square inch counts. Look for a system that offers a space-saving design, effortlessly fitting into even the tightest of service yards, balconies or rooms. With clever planning, you can reclaim valuable floor space without compromising on functionality.

3. Up-down lifting function
After a long day in the office, does your back ache even more while doing chores? An up-down lifting function allows for effortless manoeuvring of heavy clothes, eliminating the need to strain your arms and back. This ergonomic feature not only enhances convenience but also reduces the risk of injury.

4. Generous load capacity
For larger households or busy individuals, a generous load capacity is a must! Seek out a system that can dry more than 30kg of clothes in a single cycle, saving you time by tackling mountains of laundry with ease. Fun fact: An average washer offers a 10kg wash load which is approximately 20 pieces of clothing.

5. Odour control and anti-dustmite
From toddlers with nasal allergies to adults with sensitive skin, an inbuilt Ioniser in your automated laundry system can help combat allergens on your garments such as dust mites, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable environment. The ions emitted will trap allergens and gently remove them from your clothes.

6. Zero UV exposure
Protect your delicate garments–and yourself!–from harmful UV rays with a system that has zero UV exposure. Plus, preserve the quality and lifespan of your clothes while enjoying the convenience of automated laundry drying.
This is a must-have especially for households with young children as they should not encounter overexposure to UV rays even when running amok at home.

10. Extensive warranty coverage
Most home appliances are expensive. Hence, it is natural to want assurance that every dollar is well spent.
Look for a brand that stands behind its product with a comprehensive warranty, covering parts and labour for an extended period without any hidden costs. A robust warranty not only protects your investment but also assures that any potential issues will be promptly addressed by qualified technicians.
