It is a common core memory among us Singaporeans that our parents did laundry by hanging them onto bamboo poles before placing them outside of the house to dry. Such an occurrence would cut through economic status too, whether you lived in an HDB, condominium flat or a landed property.

While such a method of doing laundry is indeed economical, we are undoubtedly at the whims of the weather whenever it rains or during the monsoon seasons. You would also need to be physically present to carry the poles in and out of the house when the need arises, which has added risks if you’re living on a high floor.

Electric clothes dryers, or automated laundry drying racks, solve all these problems with technology. As the name implies, these indoor appliances allow us to dry our clothing indoors quickly with fans and heating.

Some are even built with ionisers and ultraviolet lights that combat odour-causing microbes and allergenic dust mites too. And for those who are not home most of the day, perhaps models that can be controlled remotely would be a feature you’ll enjoy.

Regardless of the brands, these electric clothes dryers are built with sturdy and lightweight metal, usually aluminium alloy, equipped with LED lights and contain motors that lift and lower the clothing poles. In the end, you’re really shopping for differences in terms of brand name, how much load they can carry and additional functionalities such as ultraviolet lights and ionisers.
