Product review (5 stars): Good alternative to conventional dryer if you have the time.
This review is for the Nina Soft Spin Dryer.

I have been using this for about 2 years, at least once a week. I purchased this from another website, not Amazon. I live in an apartment with only two washer/dryers shared amongst ~30 units, so I wanted an alternative to washing and drying my clothes.

- it is about 15 inches in diameter, and 24 inches tall. Three-pronged power cord.
- there is no on/off swtich; as soon as you close the pink lid, it turns on and starts spinning. It turns off as soon as you open the lid. If you want an on/off switch, you could plug it into one of those power strips/surge protectors.
- this device dries clothes by spinning the clothes really really fast, similar to a salad spinner, and the centrifugal forces push the water out of the clothes; there is no heating element in this dryer so it will not get your clothes completely dry; after about a minute of spinning, my clothes are still a little moist, so I hang them and let them airdry overnight.
- as it spins, water comes out a little spout on the side; I like to use this in the bathtub.
- it requires a bit of tetris skills to get your clothes into this dryer; you'll want to put heavier clothes at the bottom and try to evenly distribute the weight on all sides, or else this will tip over when you turn it on.
- I find that it can fit maybe 6 to 8 shirts, or 1 pair of heavy jeans.
- a few times I overloaded it (distributed the weight poorly) and I started hearing metal pieces clink/clank around inside as the inner cyclinder bounced around; I immediately shut it off, rearranged my clothes, turned it back on, and it still seems to work ok.
- after I use it, I lift it up and tip it over to let any excess water come out the spout.
- I use this in combination with the "breathing mobile washer" product; I use the mobile washer to wash my clothes, and then this to dry them. A week's worth of clothes takes about an hour to wash/dry/hang.

I recommend this if you are living by yourself and don't want to use a community laundry. If you are doing laundry for two or more people, this may or may not be worth it due to the extra time it would take to go through multiple loads of clothes.
