Product review (5 stars): This is what Mom was looking for since 1974
With 5-6minutes you have your clothes dry enough to be ready to wear in three hours...amazing. I bought it for my mom who has had multiple surgeries and cannot lift more than 15lbs.  She can now avoid going down and up (three times) the three flights of stairs with her heavy load of laundry.  For her washing she throws the clothes in the sink, makes a cup shape of her hands and uses compressions...it's much easier on the arthritis than the washing plungers you might see....also less moving the clothes back and forth and less water used....so easier and faster.  The Nina Soft Spin Dryer is a centrifuge so when it starts up just push down on it for a second until it has the clothes spinning evenly.
