The Laundry Alternative Spin Dryer
Well I will say that I bought a spin dryer and think it is great. It spins out the excess water from the really heavy fabrics and cuts dryer time by 10 to 15 minutes. I find myself putting everything but shirts in the machine to lighten the dryer load and it spins at 1300 rpms. I think it works really well, glad I have it.

@Loius Hi Louis! Is that the normal noise of your spin dryer? It sounds scary like the noise on the previous version of Mueller's spin dryer that hat steel drum and steel cabinet. The new version is very silent and it's also easier to load because the user don't have to find a way to load it milimetrically balanced. The machine has a suspension system that deal with minor unbalancing issues. | ||

I used to use a spin dryer at my previous place and really liked it. It removed quite a bit of water even after a 1000 rpm spin. What I didn't like was that I obviously had to split the loads up in order to fit a full wash load. In the end, the time it saved in the dryer, I spent loading, spinning and unloading the spinner. A large capacity unit would be nice. Is the 10 kg rating for wet or dry laundry?

I would so love to have a stainless steel BOCK centrifugal extractor in my basement. I've been looking for one of these for 8 years, ever since they disappeared from the 3 local laundromats. In fact they seem to have disappeared across the nation; I simply never see them anymore.
Certainly never heard of one of these 'exploding'. These were made by BOCK and were a common sight in any coin laundry - at least two. Surely you guys know these machines? Put in your 2 quarters, close the lid which locks, pops open when the drum stops and it extracts the water to the point you can hang to line-dry or just leave it over a chair back overnight. 10 minutes in the coin dryer was all that was needed for towels, sheets and clothes to be bone-dry. I guess that's why they were removed... Dave Yes, a BOCK really is quiet. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK

I got a danby twin tub so I sue one weekly. I love it to death. Over my old front loader cloths are almost dry. So I now just hang them around the house and there dry in under a hour. | ||

I have used dedicated spinners in Easy Spindry and Panasonic twintub. In a warm climate, shirts come out dry enough to wear and towels dry enough to use. Sheets line dry in minutes. Neither of those units had any problem balancing if loaded correctly or any history of "exploding", but OTOH both were made before the era of junk appliances. I'm not sure I'd trust anything made today running 3000rpm except a commercial machine.

spin three min and shut off. Couldn't you just repeat the spin cycle if you wanted more time? | ||

Hoover Washers I know they have (had for the ones that used to be sold here in the US, as they're now extinct) a separate compartment for spinning water out of the clothes. What was the standard RPM on those? | ||
