Wow! I have never seen a Fridgidaire spinner before! Thanks for posting that photo. The basket on the spinners we have is plastic. I would not be surprised to find plastic parts throughout this machine. On the other hand, I would venture that Miele and Fridgidaire spinners have SS baskets and metal main parts. |

Whirlcool / Allen: I'm not getting the impression that mine has "longevity" as its middle name, either. Barbie-doll quality? You are WAY TOO KIND. I do tend to leave it running unattended while I excuse mself to the next room "just in case" If it lives to 2007, in light of the above news, I will consider it a miracle. |

Currently aside from "Spin-X" and the other "Laundry Alternative", nothing else is sold as a stand alone spin dryer in the United States. IIRC Maytag Porta washers spin lower than the Hoover's TT which is 2,800 rpms. From what one has gleaned in various posts on Yahoo, here and other forums on twin tub/spin driers; unless the unit is designed for a spin rinse, doing so can cause damage. Mind you it may be easy to retro fit something, but again one would have to find the proper water to spin speed. Others would know more than I on this matter, but apparently too much water at once over taxes the motor and pump. Sort of like when some front loading washing machines slow down spinning when too much water/suds are coming at once. I find the Hoover spinner hard to beat. It even extracts water from items spun in high spin front loaders. You might find a small Bock extractor on eBay, but think all models had to be bolted down into concrete. Launderess |
