brake dose not work. when I shut it off it keeps spinning for 3 minutes. its under Warranty by Laundry Alternative. Im working with them right now.so I will let you folks know whats happening. Im trying to get a replacement. but I need to Ship the item back to them. and Im hoping the shipping back to them would be at there expense. I will change my rating if all goes good.. I will work with Laundry Alternative.
Just got one of these. I've been hand-washing clothes for YEARS, but never had a good way to get them from "sopping wet" to "ready to be hung on drying rack."
Just found out (by calling the company) that you *have to remove the wooden block* thingy on the bottom (just use a phillips screwdriver). And make sure the vessel you're catching the water in is big enough - mine starting overflowing after a minute or so (guess the clothes I put in were pretty wet :).
@gmmcnair Great! So they've fixed that. I bought the mini spinner with warranty and it was replaced. So I didn't have a problem then (I got warranty to back me up.)
@mullconn only if you have an unbalanced load. I've found that if you sort of fold the clothes before putting them into the dryer it helps create a more evenly distributed load. Most of my spins have been pretty quiet, this video is of my first time running it.
@redwafer mmmm true that, yeah that does help but i am starting to think mine had sonething loose? as sure it went away and never came back! :( nice vid though :)
@vulcathene hmm, interesting idea. I think you might want to line it with a canvas bag or something first, otherwise you'll probably end up with a lot of fruit pulp in the machine and your juice. Sanitization could become an issue with this idea though. ;)
@mx4123 I haven't had any issues with the dryer (other than sometimes being too lazy to use it) and my experience with The Laundry Alternative is limited to me ordering the spin dryer from their website and them sending it to me with no issues.
We do not have automatic machines in the UK that spin at 2000rpm. The fastest spin on a UK automatic washing machine is 1600rpm. Yes we do use spin dryers in the UK and they are on sale at most retailers. A spin dryer spins at approximately 2,800.
It sounds louder than usual in this video. This could be due to an unbalanced load and/or the volume settings. They are certainly louder than the Mini Countertop Spin Dryers which is very quite. A lot of the sound comes from the rapidly spinning perforated drum.
I notice you bought yours from The Laundry Alternative. Mine stopped working after only six uses and The Laundry Alternitive ignored all my requests for assistance. AVOID THE LAUNDRY ALTERNITIVE.
Hmmm. I have one I bought from them and it is working just fine. I emailed them several times and got responses all the times I emailed them. Even when I gave them suggestions or let them know something about this thing, I got polite responses. May be you emailed them before they had more help with customer service?
I've since gotten a replacemnt spinner from The Laundry Alternative. It seems I tried to contact them before they had someone in place to respond to customers.
Thanks for the demo. I use the Mini Spin Dryer and have been thinking about upgrading to the big one. Does it always sound so loud or was it just unbalanced? Thanks!!!
It always makes noise because it is spinning super fast. Even the one mounted on the wall at FSU to spin wet bathing suits dry was loud. That's just the nature of these things. If it is off balance it does thunk against the sides, so you just have to open it, re-distribute the clothes and pack them down, and start up again. But it does work and work well.
This load was unbalanced. As you use it more often you learn how to achieve a better load balance (basically cram everything in as hard as you can) and it runs much quieter than you hear in this video.

My only problem with my machine: when I turn it off, it goes spinning around the room like an psychotic Dalek on speed.

@gmmcnair Great! So they've fixed that. Now they just need to be BBB accredited. Status: This company is not a BBB Accredited business.

@mullconn Unless the machine is damaged or the load is unbalanced, they are not all that loud.

it would make an ideal juicer: cram it with chopped up fruit then,put a glass under the spout? (lol).

@redwafer Yes, it's important to push down on the clothes with the clothes protector too, as this makes them more balanced.
