Best for most households: Toshiba TD-E80BT21HWM 8kg Heat Pump Dryer
2 more points
8kg inverter heat pump, UV hygiene, Sense DRY, 220-240V, 65 dB(A), 45kg (Toshiba Malaysia)
This is the dryer we would buy for a typical Malaysian flat or terrace house. It is the best-selling heat pump we could confirm on Shopee Malaysia (54 sold at 4.9 stars), and it costs RM2,092.87 against RM3,890 for the LG. A heat pump recycles its hot air, so there is no vent hose to run out of a window and clothes are dried at a lower temperature than in a vented dryer.
It is not the quietest: Toshiba rates it at 65 dB(A), so put it in a utility area rather than next to a bedroom wall. If you dry king-size bedding every week, step up to the LG's 10kg drum.
Best for large families: LG RH10VHP2B 10kg Dual Inverter Heat Pump Dryer
2 more points
10kg dual inverter heat pump, auto-cleaning condenser, ThinQ Wi-Fi, 600 x 850 x 660 mm (LG Malaysia)
The LG has the biggest drum of any heat pump here and the most complete feature list: an auto-cleaning condenser, an allergy care program and Wi-Fi control that can pair with an LG washer. LG's own marketing claims up to 65% energy saving, which is a brand figure we have not measured, but the heat pump design itself is why it should cost less to run than the vented picks below.
The price is the catch. RM3,890 on the listing we link is the most among the heat pumps, and other Shopee sellers list it from about RM3,650, so compare sellers before you buy. For one or two people, the Toshiba does the same job for RM1,800 less.
Best for the lowest heat pump price: Hisense DHQE805UW 8kg Heat Pump Dryer
2 more points
8kg heat pump, 220-240V, 595 x 550 x 845 mm, 46kg, 2 yr warranty and 25 yr on the motor (Hisense Malaysia)
At RM1,699 this is the cheapest heat pump dryer we could confirm on sale, and it is only about RM1,100 more than the Khind vented dryer. If you plan to run the dryer several times a week, a heat pump can use well under the electricity of a vented model, so the gap can close over a few years.
The trade-off is track record: 10 sold on the listing we link, against 54 for the Toshiba. Hisense publishes a full specification on its Malaysian site but lists no Wi-Fi, and its service network is smaller than LG's, so check that a service centre covers your area.
Best for a no-hose condenser dryer: Bosch Series 4 WTN84201MY 8kg Condenser Dryer
2 more points
8kg condenser dryer, AllergyPlus, 16 programs, child lock, anti-vibration
A condenser dryer turns the moisture into water in a tank, so like a heat pump it needs no vent hose and can sit anywhere with a socket. The Bosch is the pick for someone who wants a German brand and a simple, proven design, and its AllergyPlus program uses a higher temperature to treat bedding and baby clothes.
It is not an inverter or heat pump machine, so it costs more to run than the three picks above at similar capacity. At RM2,262.95 it is also dearer than the Toshiba and Hisense heat pumps, which is why it ranks below them for most buyers.
Best for a branded vented dryer: Electrolux UltimateCare 300 EDV705HQWA 7kg Vented Dryer
2 more points
7kg vented dryer, alternating drum movement, sensor drying cycles
Electrolux alternates the drum direction so clothes untangle instead of balling up, and its sensor cycles stop the dryer once clothes are dry rather than running to a timer. That helps with wrinkles and with fabric wear, which is the main reason to choose it over a cheaper vented machine.
A vented dryer pushes hot, humid air out through a hose, so it needs a window or a wall opening and warms the room while it runs. At RM1,745.93 it is close in price to the Hisense heat pump, so choose it only if a vent is easy to fit and you will run it a few times a month.
Best for a tight budget: Khind CD819 8kg Vented Dryer
1 more point
8kg air-vented tumble dryer
At RM586.86 for an 8kg drum, this is the lowest price on the list and the easiest way to stop hanging laundry on rainy days. A vented dryer is simple, so there is little to break, and 8 buyers have rated this listing 4.9 stars.
Read the listing carefully before paying: other Shopee sellers list the same CD819 near RM1,100, so the RM586.86 price may be for a specific variant or a single seller. Like every vented dryer here it needs a hose out of a window or wall, and it will use more electricity per load than a heat pump.
Best for washing and drying in one machine: Samsung WD21T6500GV 21kg/12kg Washer Dryer
2 more points
21kg wash, 12kg dry front-load washer dryer, AI Ecobubble, hygiene steam, Air Wash
This is the only washer dryer in the list and the only pick that is not simply a dryer. It washes 21kg and dries 12kg in one drum, with AI control that learns your habits and a hygiene steam cycle, so it suits a household that has room for one big machine and not two.
RM11,247 is a lot: for that money a separate LG washer and the Toshiba heat pump dryer would still leave change. Because the dry capacity is lower than the wash capacity, large loads need two dry cycles. Buy it for the space it saves, not for the price.
Which Type of Dryer Fits Your Home
Vented, condenser or heat pump: what changes at home
A vented dryer needs a hose to a window or wall opening, so it suits a utility yard or balcony and not an interior room. Condenser and heat pump dryers collect the water in a tank or drain it, so they can sit anywhere with a socket, but a condenser also gives off heat into the room. Heat pump dryers recycle their warm air and dry at a lower temperature, which is gentler on fabric and cheaper to run, at a higher purchase price.
Measure the space and the door swing
The LG is 600 x 850 x 660 mm and the Hisense 595 x 550 x 845 mm, per their Malaysian pages. Leave a gap behind a vented dryer for the hose and in front for the door, and check that the machine still fits if you stack it on a washer.
Ask who services it
Hisense lists 2 years general warranty and 25 years on the motor on its Malaysian page; confirm the warranty terms of any model with the seller before you pay, and check that the brand has a service centre in your area. Installation is not part of the Shopee price for any model here unless the listing says so.
How We Chose These Dryers
On 1 November 2026 we searched Shopee Malaysia for each dryer model by name and read the listing, the price and the buyer rating. We kept a dryer only when the exact model had a live listing at a price we could read, and we then matched it to its maker's Malaysian page where one exists. We balanced price, drying type, capacity and buyer history so the list covers a budget buy, a mid-price heat pump, a large-family pick and a washer dryer. We did not buy or test the machines.
We removed six earlier picks because we could not confirm a live listing for the exact model on the check date: the LG VD-H9066WS, Toshiba TD-H80SEM and TD-BK100GHM, Samsung DV80TA220AE and WD85T4046CE, and the Haier HDV70A1, whose listing sells 6kg, 7kg and 8kg models under one price. They can return when we can read a live price for them.
How to Choose a Dryer Machine
Should you buy a heat pump dryer?
Buy one if you will dry laundry several times a week, because it uses less electricity per load and treats clothes gently. If you dry a few times a month, the lower price of a vented model is the better trade.
How big should the drum be?
An 8kg dryer suits one to four people. Choose 10kg if you dry bedding or towels in bulk, and remember that a dryer should be filled to about two-thirds so clothes can tumble.
Can a dryer replace hanging clothes in a wet season?
Yes, and it is the main reason people buy one in Malaysia. A heat pump or condenser dryer dries indoors with no vent, so rain does not matter, while a vented dryer needs a window or wall opening.
Dryer Machine Questions
What are the pros and cons of heat pump dryers?
Heat pump dryers use less electricity than vented or condenser dryers, dry at a lower temperature and need no vent hose. The cons are a higher price, longer cycles and, on some models, a service network you should check. In our list the heat pumps are the Toshiba at RM2,092.87, the LG at RM3,890 and the Hisense at RM1,699 (checked 1 November 2026).
What is the most recommended brand of washing machine?
This guide covers dryers, not washing machines. For drying we pick Toshiba as the best all-round heat pump and LG for the largest drum. If you want one machine that washes and dries, the Samsung WD21T6500GV is the washer dryer in our list, and our front load washing machine guide covers washers.
How much electricity does a dryer use?
It depends on the type: a vented or condenser dryer heats air with an element and uses far more electricity per load than a heat pump, which recycles its heat. We have not measured the machines here, so read the energy figure on the model's label or manual, and remember the number is per cycle, so a dryer used daily costs several times more than one used weekly.
Is LG dryer good?
Yes: the LG RH10VHP2B is a 10kg heat pump dryer with an auto-cleaning condenser and Wi-Fi control, and it has the biggest drum on our list. At RM3,890 (checked 1 November 2026) it is also the priciest heat pump, so for a smaller household the Toshiba at RM2,092.87 is the better value.
Change note, 1 November 2026: replaced six earlier picks we could not confirm on sale with two new current heat pump dryers (Toshiba TD-E80BT21HWM and Hisense DHQE805UW), rechecked every price on Shopee Malaysia, and rewrote the buying advice.
