New washer dryer Renlig FWM7D5: Experiences?

Hello everyone,

I would like to buy a washer-dryer (washing machine and dryer in one).
Ikea now has a new one: Renlig FWM7D5
Unfortunately, I can't find any experiences from other users about it.
This dryer seems to be from Electrolux. But unfortunately, I don't know which model.
Otherwise, I would have looked it up.
I just wanted to know if it is recommended for 700 euros.
We want to put it in our small kitchen and hope that the dryer
does not produce too much or preferably no laundry-room effect in our kitchen!
In other words: It should not emit too much heat during drying.
Who has this device or has heard of it?

Regards,
Chris

I know nothing about the device, but I would take a closer look at the AEG Wärmepumpen Waschtrockner. The energy savings could possibly be worthwhile.

Hi,

the washing machines and washer-dryer combos are rather neglected at Ikea and hardly advertised, which is basically a shame. There is a good manufacturer behind it and you get a 5-year "on-site" warranty included.

I cannot give you any experience values either. You can only compare the technical as well as the energy data with those of other manufacturers and then decide. By the way, the device is indeed Electrolux, so a well-known name. So far, I have not heard of any complaint cases about a washing machine or combo, although you have to consider the sales figures. It is not necessarily required to have a different manufacturer name, as Ikea devices are in most cases developed only for or with Ikea.

IKEA expert, the idea with the heat pump dryer is good, I am currently looking for such a device myself. But I suspect that the OP is looking for a combo device because he only wants to have one bulky appliance and not two. And as far as I know, the combo only exists with regular dryers, right?

Best regards

Hello Nayla,
at the last IFA, AEG presented the first washer-dryer with heat pump. I don’t know if it is already on the market or will be available soon.

It will be available for purchase from April 2014, the price is not fixed yet, I guess around €1800,
It is the first of its kind.

The Ikea washer-dryer has a very good energy balance when washing, but due to its design not when drying, whereas many other such machines do not manage to dry 5 kg.

Thumbs up![/Quote]

And I think then the price=performance ratio is not so bad!
