Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin DryerCustomer Review: This product, and this company, are TOP NOTCH. Summary: 5 Stars
Back in January of this year, sick of laundromats, and without a washer/dryer hookup in our new apartment, I took the plunge and started doing all of our household laundry by hand. Granted, we're only two people, and perhaps if there were more than that, I'd at least want a wee bit more stay-at-home time during the week. Nonetheless, I ordered the Sputnik 3 (aka Wonderwash), and this Spin Dryer to go along with it. Together, these products work like a DREAM. I am a regular spoiled middle American, who has been totally accustomed to tossing clothes into a standard washer/dryer, my whole life. I thought I might not be able to make the transition.
My points: 1) I'd say, first and foremost, our clothes have NEVER been so clean. 2) our clothes are not wearing out as quickly. 3) we're saving on energy expenses, and laundromat fees (which add up people, yes they do). 4) the spin dryer not only functions like something one would expect to come from NASA, but if you have any appreciation for finely crafted mechanisms, it is pretty much a joy to use. 5) I did experience an issue with my spin dryer within the first months of use. I contacted customer service, and they completely and immediately resolved the problem. This was even just over email. I didn't dial a 1-800 number and press 1 if this and 2 if that and 30 minutes later speak to an actual person. No, I sent my email, and literally within minutes, I had a reply, and a resolution. Unbelievable. I've never had a service issue so swiftly, and directly handled by any company, at any time in my life.
My advice for the prospective spin dryer customer, 1) purchase your spin dryer direct from [...], and get this model. It is space-age in performance and function. I LOVE mine. I'm so grateful something like this exists on the planet. 2) Be sure to read the directions before operating. Properly balancing a load, and I've found, watching how heavy a load you're putting in, will reduce the time you spend rebalancing, and speed up the whole process. I wash all our clothes in the Wonderwash first: I place it in the bathtub and use two buckets to alternately fill with water, and do the initial clothes rinse. Once all that's done, I lightly ring out the clothes (I don't stres myself much over that at all), fold them loosely, and transport them from bucket to spin dryer. I put in a balanced load, place the plastic dealy on the top of the clothes, and switch it on. I keep a three inch deep pan under the water spout, and a bowl in that, directly underneath the spout. I stand there for a second when it first starts, and empty the water from bowl to bucket so my pan doesn't overflow. That's it. When the stream is reduced to drips, I stop the dryer, wait for it to unlock, and remove my practically dry clothes, hang them, and go about my business.
I LOVE THE CENTRIFUGAL SPIN DRYER AND LAUNDRY-ALTERNATIVE!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!! :)
Description of Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin DryerThis is a centrifugal clothes dryer which removes water and detergent from the clothes using a fast (3200 rpm) spin speed. It does not blow hot air on the clothes and does not get them 100% dry (although very close to it).It extracts much more water from the clothes than a regular washing machine spin cycle, they come out slightly damp.Much gentler on clothes than a conventional tumble dryer.
