Oh dear....
Well, I thought it might be fun to throw my centrifuge into the mix.... I just know I'm gonna get slapped for this! Centrifuge: radius: 122.5 mm RPM: 3,100 G-Force: 1318.49 I got some different results for the Unimatic Jed... My Unimatic: radius: 285 mm RPM: 1,140 G-Force: 414.83 BD Whirlpool: radius: 270 mm RPM: 525 G-Force: 83.35 Fisher Paykel: radius: 260 mm RPM: 1,010 RPM G-Force: 297.05 Bosch frontloader: radius: 235 mm RPM: 1,200 G-Force: 379.01 Now, I did cheat and use an online calculator, it could be totally wrong!

Until when though Jed? Is there a point at which no more water will come out? After all, there isn't an unlimited amount of water in them! I wonder how long it would take to spin a load of laundry completely dry in a Unimatic and then toss it in the dryer for a quick dewrinkle cycle of course! lol Also, according to my calculator, you did it wrong, but then again, it may have been the numbers you used! lol | ||

I haven't the faintest idea how long it would take to dry the clothes in a Unimatic. But I love how only Frigidaire could get away with putting "DRY" on the timer for the final spin rather than "Damp dry" LOL | ||

From what I know, it spins at 1140 RPM hence our webmaster's user name Unimatic1140. | ||

Jed, figure the Maytag again, I can't imagine it being nearly three times better than the WP/KM. The standard-tub WP spins at 525 rpm, the Maytag at 618. The large capacity WP machines spin at 505 but the diameter of the basket was enlarged so the results are virtually the same. The volume of the load does make a difference in the end results - full loads will always feel drier than a few items. The salesman that delivered the Wascomat to one of my accounts a number of years ago mentioned that and performance all around would be improved by washing full-to-capacity loads. Perhaps it has to do with the outward forces on the spinning load? | ||

Hello magical gray ghost agitator photographer.
Was always impressed at how dry the clothes came out of the Easy Spin, but never knew the rpm's till David Partscounterman Christmas Santa-ed me a manual which reveals the Easy's speed to be a very fast 900. The directions are to spin for a modest and and shocking 2-3 minutes (only!) after spray or flush rinsing is completed, or until no water is running from the drain faucet. I had always been spinning for a much lomger period than that, say 5 minutes. Have found that if I let a towel load spin a while, maybe 8,9 minutes or more, the towels are DRY a la Unimatic. So my experience confirms what you're saying: time is a factor as well as speed. Happy Satiddy Warshday Jethro and Friends:+> | ||

I can be a real BITCH!
Geeze I didn't think I was the violent type... lol, at least I'm not cruel, I didn't ban you from the laundryroom for a week! That happened to me a couple times throughout my childhood, mainly by my uncle, however, my aunt used to always sneak me back in because she knew how much I liked to watch her roaring Norge!!!
