Product review (5 stars): I love this thing!
I received the mini spin dryer recently and have to say that I really enjoy using it.  As an apartment dweller who has a small washer/dryer unit, I have been constantly frustrated with how long it takes to dry clothes.  With the spin dryer I am able to extract at least 2 cups of water per load from the laundry after it has already been spun out from the regular washer.  I am hanging up most things on a drying rack and it only takes a couple hours after spinning to dry as they are only damp instead of wet.  The things I do put in the regular dryer now dry in half the time.  I never realized so much water was in them.  The spinner will only handle a few items at a time but it spins them out fast. I use it on my kitchen counter and let the hose drain into the sink.  I can put a pair of jeans in it.  Another load would be 2 or 3 shirts or several pairs of socks and underwear.  I was able to put a queen sized sheet in it and spin it out.  Be sure to unscrew the small piece of plastic on the bottom of it before using so you don't burn up the motor.  It keeps things in place during shipping.  Also, you may have to hold onto it til you learn to balance the load so it doesn't skitter across the counter.  At the end of the cycle it helps to hold onto the unit also. Don't forget to place the plastic guard on top of the clothing and push down before turning it on. You can't really leave it unattended but it works fast and this is not a problem.  I really like this machine and hope it lasts a long time.  When it finally breaks down, I would like to order the larger machine.
