We want the same things. A multipurpose product that not only saves money but time too. It has to look good or at least match the house theme. And, it cannot occupy too much space. Most importantly, it needs to get the job done.
Good news for we have a tried and tested solution! The Steigen automated laundry system is probably the best way to go, and here’s why.
The lifespan of a 5000w dryer is usually 5 years, and it uses up to 7800 kilowatts of energy in its lifetime. That alone will rack up close to $2500 in electricity bills^.
On the other hand, the Solar Drying function of a Steigen automated laundry drying system is rated at only 0.8 kWh which is 6 times more energy-efficient than a conventional dryer. To top things off, an hour of Solar Drying is only 30 cents.
Compared to the 5000w dryer (3-hour usage twice a week), you would only be spending slightly over $350 on electricity bills in 5 years, which is 84% cheaper than a regular tumble dryer*.
Here’s a simple breakdown and comparison chart of the various drying systems:
The new and improved 60ºC Quad Core Solar Drying offers faster drying performance at a lower energy consumption as compared to our earlier series. Plus, an 8-way Circulator Blower for better heat distribution.
What’s more, the new series offers a 6-hour and 3-hour Solar Drying cycle that simultaneously activates the inbuilt Ioniser and Dust Mite Repeller when switched on – one button to rule them all.
Our advice: If you use something regularly and can cut back on electrical bills in the long run, go for it. Additionally, you save more when you buy a multipurpose product. So, why not invest in a Steigen automated laundry system?

^ Energy consumption audit calculation formula and information from SP Group. Based on SP Group Sept 2022 at $0.3017/kWh (before 7% GST).
3 hour cycle, two times a week for five years:
5 kilowatts x 3 hour-cycle = 15 kilowatts
15 kilowatts x 2 times a week = 30 kilowatts
30 kilowatts x 52 weeks = 1560 kilowatts
1560 kilowatts x 5 years = 7800 kilowatts
7800 kilowatts x $0.2990/kWh = $2353.26
*Calculations based on Solar Pro Solar Drying feature only. Based on SP Group Sept 2022 at $0.3017/kWh (before 7% GST).
0.8 kilowatts x 3 hour-cycle = 2.4 kilowatts
2.4 kilowatts x 2 times a week = 4.8 kilowatts
4.8 kilowatts x 52 weeks = 249.6 kilowatts
249.6 kilowatts x 5 years = 1248 kilowatts
1248 kilowatts x $0.3017/kWh = $376.52
