Product review (5 stars): it's SO quiet & SO efficient !!!
this little spin dryer turned out to be way above & beyond anything i expected. it's small. it's light weight...about 7 or 8 pounds. & it's SO easy to use. i've been using it about a month, now, (along with the washer) & have developed a bit of knowledge & a routine with them. my very first load was a nightmare because i put too many items in the spindry & it nearly hopped & bopped right off the counter because the items didn't settle in to a level load. if it had been taped, i could have ended up on AFV. i've learned that putting just 1 item in, turning it on, waiting a few moments for it to settle level & THEN pushing the "open lid" button to stop the spinner to add 1 or 2 more small items works best. for bath  towels & bath sheets, 1 at a time is best. because i'm a fanatic about rinsing all the soap out of my stuff, i return my spin dried items to the washer filled with fresh cold water + maybe a tiny bit of softener, let them swish around for 3 or so minutes, drain, transfer them back to the spindryer, & repeat that process as many times as i think is necessary. i REALLY want the soap out and absolutely believe that 3 rinses with spindrying between each rinse is a MUST to get the ''old'' water & soap out. my clothes are SO close to dry when they finish spinning, i am ALWAYS amazed. & the longer they spin, the dryer they get. definitely use the full 5 minutes. i like to use the professional dryer downstairs in the dreaded laundry room to finish off the process because my clothes end up softer. i always use ''warm'' or ''gentle'' for drying &, now, it does not take more than 30 minutes to dry everything. keeping a bath towel folded in half under the spin dryer is a good idea because it makes it even quieter & stabler & absorbs the small bit of water that can escape from the lid & run down the dryer onto the counter. i'm going to remove the top & re-caulk with silicone because a few little leaks have appeared & water trickles down the outside of the container. no big deal. i like the Panda spin dryer & washer so much that i bought another set for a friend & she has reported back to me that she LOVES them both & having them has made her life incredibly easier which is also true for me. thank you, Panda!
