Product review (4 stars): Saves Time, Very Useful
This machine gets a *lot* of water out of my clothes (about 6 cups of water for regular clothes, and 8 cups of water for a bath towel!). After the spin dryer, my clothes just need 12 hours or a day to dry. (By comparison, if I just wring out my clothes and hang them up, they need 2 or 3 days to dry.) So this machine is a big help.

But, it's pretty small. It can hold a bath towel, or a pair of jeans, or about 5 T-shirts; but a queen-size flannel bed sheet won't fit.

It's also *extremely* loud if it's off balance, and it's *always* off balance. It takes me a few readjustments before this thing will spin without shaking violently. And even when the clothes are evenly distributed, I have to put *all* my weight on it while it's starting up, so it doesn't fly all over the place. I only use this machine when the upstairs neighbor is at work, because it seriously sounds like a jackhammer.

So if noise isn't a concern, and you only have small things to dry, I recommend this machine.

Update 6/13/2017: I've had the spin dryer for a year and a half now, and I still use it every week. The plastic drain hose broke a few months ago, but I taped it back together. The spinner itself still works like new.

I've found that if I put the spinner on the bed, instead of a hard surface, the noise is minimal. If I can tell the load is going to be off-balance, I stop the spinner, re-arrange the clothes, and try again. That keeps it pretty quiet, which was one of my biggest concerns before.

And I just got some thin cotton sheets (queen size), and they fit in the spinner, which was a very nice surprise. So thick flannel sheets don't fit, but thin cotton sheets do.

And for a while I did consider getting an old-fashioned clothes wringer instead, but wringers are actually really expensive, they don't get out as much water as the spinner, and I hear they can bunch up and stretch clothes, whereas this machine is very gentle on clothes.

So after a year and a half, I'm still happy with this spin dryer, and I highly recommend it!
