I find this spin dryer a useful machine. I had reservations about the price, however after the first two loads I feel glad I bought it. I ran through it two soppy wet loads, and both nearly dry in under five minutes total from time put in to time taken out.
I wash mostly by hand and like not having to wring clothes to reduce their drying time. This fits the bill nicely. The machine weighs almost a hefty 25 lbs and seems well made. I had a few minor issues on the first use, yet quickly found solutions. The issues I will mention in case you find my solutions useful.
Issue. I can see how the plastic lid for the clothes can easily get lost or damaged - so question: how to replace? Does spin-dryer maker sell extras and at what price? Can I make my own out of a 9.5in disc of durable vinyl?
Issue: I noticed a stream of water that somehow leaked from the base of the unit during spinning. So question: can I place the unit on a rubber mat, perhaps with a raised edge like a rubber car mat to catch the chance spill? Perhaps the leak came from the spout, even though I kept a dish under.
Issue: The lid difficult to grab to raise it. Solution, I put a piece of self stick rubber disc on the edge (the kind of disc normally put under a vase to keep scratches off furniture).
Issue: When sopping wet clothes put into the spinner, a lot of water gushes out, overflowing any small dish. The first try I found myself using two bowls back to back, running back and forth to empty each one. Solution: I found a five quart salad bowl to put under the spout, plenty enough with a 5.5in high edge, flat bottom and 15 inches diameter.
Issue: Even though I tried to get the last water out of the bottom by tilting the unit, after I stored it away, a half hour later I found a puddle of water on the tile floor at the spout. Solution: I put a sponge under the tap to catch the dribble.
Issue: Moves across floor during excess vibration. My solution: hold down with strong hands on the top edge of the unit (not on the lid which can pop in) to prevent skittering on a damp floor. It appears the feet are not actually functioning suction cups. I just hold it down firmly for the minute or less I will run the machine. I find no need to run it till drip stops completely, just run it till water stops gushing, then unplug unit (or turn off switch on power supply), lean unit over to dribble out remaining water, then remove clothes AFTER machine stops - NEVER put hands into spinning tank. I will point out that in spite of my "issues" I find this a fantastic household machine.
Issue: Machine rocks loudly when I try to spin dry a single towel. My solution: a pair of men's heavy shoes on top of the vinyl disc - I used rubber clogs just in case they got wet, which did not happen. The shoes added enough weight so it spun without a knock. I guess any pair of shoes or even three baseballs may work just as well, as long as heavy - though my lightweight house slippers did not.
CONCLUSION: Based on the time and the work it saves me, and its efficiency, I RECOMMEND HIGHLY and would buy this machine again (paid 145.95usd on Amazon in March 2010).

The Laundry Alternative Centrifugal Clothes Dryer
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015
I just recently got this product today. I've used it today after reading the instructions. I washed my clothes in a washing machine, then I put the wet clothes in this spin dyer and turned it on and it spins very fast so much, I had to hold it in place. By the time I was finished, the clothes got dry instantly with this ventless spin dryer. This works very well. I'd recommend this product to a friend. This saves time and money from a laundromat!
