Product review (5 stars): The Laundry Alternative Mini Countertop Spin Dryer GetsThe Job Done
Up front I want to mention that this is not a dryer in the traditional sense of the word. Also a little bit of water leaks from the machine when heavier items are spun (not enough to worry about). Since I place the washer and spinner on a tub seat (plank model), the leakage winds up in the tub but when I used to sit it on my kitchen counter, I only needed a paper towel or dishtowel around the base to catch the leakage. .  The other minor complaint, the cord holder really isn't substantial enough.  Otherwise, the mini spinner is excellent at doing what it advertises. It spins the water out quickly until garments are damp and actually does a better job of it than industrial washer spin cycles in only a fraction of the time. The average time Ive set the timer to is 2 - 3 minutes, 3 for heavy towels and sweaters.
I got this machine because we are not allowed to have automatic washers in our apartments. I purchased the Stark mini washer which has no spin cycle.  Previously I had to wring the clothes by hand and thats no fun. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Mini Spin holds more than expected  I can put several small to medium pieces in at a time. I may put only one large, bulky garment at a time.  The only items I cannot fit in the Mini Spin are a king sheet, full sized blanket and comforter. No big deal since I use our queen sheets more often. They do make a larger one however. The Mini spin winds up saving me time, energy and money since it takes less time to dry items in my electric clothes dryer. I don't have to lug clothes up and down the concrete steps.  I have not had to use the laundry room downstairs since I got my Mini Washer and Mini Spin almost two years ago. I particularly appreciate this during the winter months.
