FAQ

General

What is the difference between the automated laundry system items?

Our automated laundry system items include our 4.0 motor technique which manages all the system functions (heater, blower, UV sterilization, remote, LED) with lower energy consumption -- only 50W. There are 8 items which have different features and specifications. They adapt to your any needs and any space.

I have an existing manual system, can you help us dismantle it?

Yes, we provide dismantling at no additional cost when you purchase any system from us. As a gesture of goodwill, we will also patch up the holes in the ceiling left by the previous laundry rack free of charge. However, we do not provide any painting services.

Does the LED help in drying?

All systems are integrated with the LED light for illuminating purposes so that you get to enjoy all the benefits in one. Save even more without having to purchase any additional ceiling light!

Can the machine be pushed out of the window?

No, this is an indoor system. It’s designed to be more efficient than conventional manual system. From increased safety to more load capacity, you can dry more clothes without the hassle of lifting heavy laundry. The systems are also designed to encourage air ventilation for your laundry to dry faster. Most customers prefer to have their laundry dried under the Sun. However, various factors like unpredictable weather, the direction of your house for sunlight, and the time you choose to dry laundry, may not always be on your side. With our automated series, you can come home to laundry drying anytime, any day.

Does automated series consume a lot of electricity when it is used?

No, the heavy lifting function is rated only 0.05 kWh which is less than 10 cents of electricity per month. The heat drying function consumes only 0.7 kWh, and it is at least 9 times more energy efficient than conventional dryers! (Energy consumption audit calculation formula and information from SP Group)

How low can the system be lowered?

We offer 2 different drop heights to accommodate both regular and high ceiling homes. Our systems can be lowered to either 1.35m or 1.5m. Contact us for a free on-site assessment and our Site Measurement Expert can better recommend you a system that would fit your space and needs.

Product

How do I care for the automated laundry system?

Our systems require zero maintenance and cleaning duties are not necessary. However, if you wish to clean your system, you may do so by lightly vacuum or wipe away any visible dust on the telescopic poles.

How does the automated laundry system dry up the clothes?

The inbuilt ceramic heaters and air circulators simulate the heat energy from sunlight. As hot air rises and cold air sinks, heat is distributed uniformly around the clothes without warming up the rest of the room. Drying performance may speed up in an enclosed area.

What is the difference between CAPTAIN and a tumble dryer?

Some things are too precious to tumble. CAPTAIN is designed to preserve your delicates at its natural state. Users can enjoy the convenience and reliability with less energy consumption than a dryer. No worries on keeping CAPTAIN a healthy condition, it’s maintenance-free through its entire life.
