Hi There,
There is a website that sells spin dryers in Australia, known as the Koh I Noor. I have one and it is amazing, like you say, great when you need to use the clothes dryer. I will include the link below where you can purchase them from. I have the white model and its just fine. Hope this helps :-) Matt CLICK HERE TO GO TO mattywashboy's LINK | ||

No problem Simon. I originally had the stainless steel model but because I was the first person to buy one in australia and wrote reviews for them they sent me a free white model a year later which was very nice. Both models are great and the stainless had slightly more capacity which was great for towels :-)
Enjoy it! Matt | ||

Still waiting on the spinner to be delivered. I only live 20 mins away from the company, would have been better to go directly to pick up, oh well perhaps will arrive next week. Just watched the vid on their website, and yes Mayken4now they seem to think only women do laundry, how very dare them and how very sexist all around.
I doubt very much cotton and denim and towels will come out of a 2800 RPM spin ready for ironing or putting away. It is a little misleading comparing a spin dryer to a tumble dryer but I am still looking forward to it arriving. I am sure it will cut tumble drying time down and running costs, especially if I am washing in one of my GE filter-flo washers. Now I seem to recall that RPM is not the only factor involved in max water extraction but circumference of the spinning tub will also effect the amount of water extracted. I think there is a formulae that works out G-Force in relation to spin speed and tub circumference. | ||

You're right. Some spin dryers can extract more water, others can extract less water due to the drum diameter. However, the difference is insignificant. the important is that spin dryers can extract LOTS of water in just 2 or 3 minutes. They are the BFF (best friend forever) for any regular top loader washer. No matter if you dry on a line or in the dryer, the drying time is usually cut by the half or can be even 2/3 faster. | ||

Not that sharp at math but formula I find is f = m * v2 / r. Which means force increases as the square of the velocity-- twice as fast is 4x force. This quantity is divided by r (radius) so a larger radius results in LESS force. Seems counterintuitive, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Google 'centrifugal force formula' and see what you make of it.
These ~8" spinners produce astonishing results in ~3min and tend to balance themselves with only a rudimentary suspension. There's an easy skill to loading them; it will tell you right away if you did it wrong. | ||
