As a mom, I have a list of things to do every day and with young school going kids some of the tasks are never ending you can’t skip some of them whether you like it or not. One of the tasks is doing the laundry every day with kids and this is when I heard about Steigen’sExalt Solar – Automatic Laundry System. Check out this video before I share about it.
Steigen is founded by a team of homeowners who were searching for the best innovative solutions for their homes. They have come up with a technology which integrates the concept of indoor drying with the same conventional way. A short clip to show how this product is actually when installed.
Steigen’s signature solar series has three key features:
• True Indoor Sun Drying Steigen’s Solar series uses a unique air circulator design to ensure warmth of the sun is delivered to all clothes hanging on the rack. Solar will dry your delicate clothing at a range of 34 to 35-degree Celsius, equivalent to the temperature of the sun during noon hours.
• Fabric Care It is created to bring all the benefits of Sun drying at your convenience. Solar mimics the gentle warmth of the Sun and dries your laundry in the most delicate way to bring out the natural fluffiness of your clothes. The only difference between Solar and the sun is that it contains no ultra-violet that may cause your clothes to fade.
• Hygienic Steigen’s Solar series not only speeds up laundry drying but also ensure wellness your family is taken care of. The warmth of the Solar helps eliminates 99.9% of bacteria and prevents musty odour.
This seems exactly what I was looking for as with young kids I have a frequent washing routine and I literally look for clothes to dry as soon as possible especially during the rainy season. We all know clothes are not so fresh during rainy season! I am very much allergic to change in weather and really don’t admire the indoor drying as it won’t give that freshness which sun dried clothes have in them.
What are the benefits of it?
• Working adults who only have time to do their laundry at night. Exalt Solar helps to sun dry their laundry anytime. It is a more economical and environmentally friendly way than using a tumble dryer.
• Elderly/peoplewith health concerns that faced issues with lifting heavy laundry. With Exalt automated laundry systems, they can raise or lower the rack to their preferred height with a click of the remote.
• Busy family, where they are many family members and need to handle lots of clothes. Solar uses space effectively, with just 1.3m x 0.5m space, you will be able to handle 1 full load of a 8kg washer. If the pole is fully extended to 2.3m, the system can handle 2 full loads of clothes.
You can easily operate it with a remote control and this system can lift upto 35 kg of clothes in a touch and it saves energy as the entire unit, even with Solar functions, can be powered simply with a lighting point. see the remote panel in the photo below.
I tried putting these hangers in the slots made on it and noticed that these are quite helpful to secure your hanger in one place and giving them enough space between the clothing to dry out properly. I used to live in a very high rise and it was so windy that half of the time clothes will be on the one side altogether.
Steigen team representative showed us that it is very convenient to adjust it according to your needs and bringing it to your level. Here in this photo, he has unfolded it to make more space especially when we have more bed sheets and want to spread them evenly across.
Energy consumption is quite less as compared to electric dryers and has an energy saving function to shut off the Solar tubes and fans automatically after 2 hours. The LED lamp can double up as the service yard lighting.
You must be thinking what is solar tubes or LED light is going to do. Whether it is cost effective on our monthly bills?
How reliable is Steigen?
Automated vs Manual Contrary to the belief that a manual system is more lasting; an automated system is actually more durable due to 3 main components: A. Materials: Manual system often uses rope which
A. Materials: Manual system often uses rope which has high friction resistance and prone to wear and tear, while automated system uses high-quality stainless steel cable which is more durable.
B. Center of gravity: The pulling force for manual pulley system is gathered on one end resulting in an uneven distribution of weight. This increases the difficulty in lifting the heavy laundry. The added stress will also cause the rope to snap easily.
C. Safety: Wet laundry is heavy and a slip of hand may result in laundry failing on you, unlike automated system will halt when hitting an obstacle.
Steigen has an extensive range of Exalt automated system, 4 models with 8 different sizes. If customer is unsure which model will fit, they can arrange for a free non-obligatory site measurement with us
It is suitable for all types of the ceiling in HDB or condo with a false ceiling as well.
My overall is quite good and I am looking forward to installing one for my home to definitely make my chores and everyday routine easier and more hygienic as well.

Looks like a machine made from the future! Not to mention the electricity usage which is on top of my bucket list. I’m also looking forward to installing one of these soon!

I like the smell of freshly dried clothes from the sun. But during this might be handy during the monsoon seasons.
