Product review (5 stars): Great for hand knits!
I am a professional knitter which means I am constantly washing and blocking my swatches and hand knit garments. I purchased this spin dryer because my washing machine cannot seem to handle the simple task of a drain/spin cycle, despite having a setting that implies it can. The computer in my washing machine keeps attempting to "balance the load" which means tumbling back and forth. The endless tumbling/load balancing (aka agitation) is horrible for hand knit garments. I've searched for a new washing machine that can do a spin cycle without agitation - if it exists, I can't find it. A spin dryer like this one is apparently THE solution to the agitation problem. All the spin dryer does is spin out the water. No agitation. It does a fantastic job of getting excess water out of my hand knits so they can be properly blocked and dry quickly without worrying about ending up with a felted, doll-sized sweater that took many hours of my time to knit. Capacity is plenty big enough for multiple sweaters.
