Run, don’t walk.
If you’ve been researching laundry systems/racks with drying capabilities, we're willing to bet that you’ve come across Steigen. After all, they’ve become a household name in Singapore, and for good reason: they take up zero floor space, use less electricity than conventional dryers, and are suitable for drying delicate fabrics.
But if you’re still on the fence, here are two more reasons that might convince you to get a Steigen:
From now till 18 November 2024, they’re having an 11% storewide discount, among other ongoing promotions
They’ll reliably dry ALL your laundry, including hard-to-reach areas

Zero drying blindspots
There are several options on the market when it comes to laundry systems/racks with drying capabilities. But one thing you should look out for is whether or not these appliances have any blindspots for their blowers (that is, where the heat and winds do not reach).
That’s because areas with blindspots effectively rely solely on natural air drying, which defeats the purpose of paying for drying capabilities in the first place. Here’s an illustrated example of what we mean:
Brand X: areas not in red indicate drying blindspots that rely on natural air drying
Steigen laundry systems: zero drying blindspots
Steigen’s flagship laundry systems, the Solar Pro and Solar Sonic, on the other hand use 8 heater coils and 4 powerful, multidirectional fans (more on this later) that ensure there are zero drying blind spots and accelerate the drying process.
The implication? You’ll be able to dry a full load of laundry (up to 50kg) in a cycle of 3 hours*!
Quicker drying aside, the hot air at 60ºC also mimics the sun drying effect (hence the name “Solar Drying”), which helps to eliminate germs without damaging fabrics.
*Based on a trial of spin-dried cotton t-shirts in normal weather conditions, with the Solar Drying feature turned on. Thicker clothing and bedsheets may require longer drying time.
For good measure, the Solar Pro even comes with a built-in 2-in-1 ioniser that neutralises odours and repels dust mites – great for those with allergies!
Powerful blowers that can reach the hems of your longest clothes
Another issue that other laundry systems/racks with drying capabilities might face is that the wind produced may not be able to reach the edges and hems of longer/larger pieces of laundry such as dresses and bedsheets.
Not a problem with Steigen’s powerful blowers^ though. Their built-in BLDC fans are able blow vertical winds that reach lengths of up to 150cm, which is even greater than the length of an average maxi dress at 140cm.
We conducted an experiment placing a windmill 90cm (left) and 150cm (right) away from the Solar Pro’s blower – and it was spinning in both instances!
This power is well-calculated and controlled too. If you’re wondering how… Firstly, winds are kept at an optimal speed of 6.9m/s, so as to not affect the optimal temperature for the sun-drying effect we explored earlier. Secondly, they’re quiet and well-directed in that they won’t cause your clothes to ‘flutter’ about.
^In all models except for Flexi that does not come with drying capabilities.
