The Laundry Alternative Mega Spin Dryer, Huge 22 Pound Capacity, Ventless Portable Electric Dryer. 3 Year Warranty, 110V, Saves You Time And Money!

This product is wonderful, have used it with small loads (one item--very wet) and larger loads (6-8) items. It's quiet, it hardly moves at all when spinning, I noted some people commented on vibration when spinning but even with only one item in the basket, it vibrated only with the beginning of the spin cycle and that was very little at all as the spinning basket quickly achieved balance and totally ceased any vibration. With heavier loads, again the vibration was slight and only at the very beginning as the basket began to spin, again it quickly reached the spin cycle, spun in balance for the entire load with no vibration at all. The clothes were spun very dry, I couldn't be more pleased with the amount of water removed from the loads. This unit is everything advertised, it's sturdy, basket is large enough for many items, the motor is very quiet, water nozzle is high enough off the floor to use a large bowl to collect waste water, it's easy to operate, even though the unit is large (and should be because it handles larger loads of clothes), it's lightweight enough to move the unit and position it. I have spun a small throw (50 x 60" and wet) in it--no problem at all, I've spun sheets, and a load of denim shorts mixed in with tee-shirts and socks, it handled it all great. I love this unit, absolutely love it. I really believe any problem with vibration is due to not balancing out the load of clothes and not having the rubber plate securely pushed down on the load of clothes when starting the cycle. I've had NO problem with any vibration once the cycle starts spinning and none during the cycle. Also it's important that the unit be on a level floor, if it isn't, the motor will be unbalanced and that's important for proper operation. Again, I'm very happy with this unit, it's everything I expected and wanted in a spin dryer unit.

I've used this dryer for a month now, and I thought I'd share my reasoning for purchase and my observations thus far.Reasoning: I recently downsized to a two bedroom apartment with limited capacity for a washer and dryer. In fact, almost no dryer capacity. I purchased a second hand washing machine that barely fit through the door and wanted to avoid having to take wet clothes to the laundromat. In addition, I'm somewhat eco-conscious as well and the reviews/videos I've seen of these dryers made me really want to try taking one... for a spin. (Groan)Setup: This is light. I had no trouble hiking this up six stairs and then back down six stairs to it's location. I can carry a forty pound bag of dog food if I strain, but I'm not a burly guy. Setup was... confusing. You definitely want to make sure you take the brace out from the bottom before you start it that prevents it from spinning and damaging itself during shipment. There are warning stickers. I didn't pay attention, but caught it very quickly before I damaged the unit.Impressions: This does dry laundry. I've tried it with two scenarios. The first was damp laundry out of a HE spin washer from my laundromat and the difference was negligible... maybe a cup of water out of a single wash load. The second scenario is out of my old school top-loader. This removes easily a gallon of water from that load and gets the clothing... to damp.Buy a drying rack. You'll need it. For sure.When I say load, I'm saying wash load. It takes me five separate spin loads to clear a washer load from my relatively small washing machine. My process is to do a load in the washing machine, split it up into five groups with something heavy on the bottom of each for balance, and then I do other household chores or hang laundry during each of the 5-6 minute spin cycles. If you balance the laundry well, it will come safely to a halt and you can grab each load when it's done. If you overfill it or unbalance it, it threatens to topple over. I never dared try to see if it actually would.Verdict: I can't really do bedding. It's a little tedious. I'm not sure how it will do in a humid summer. I'm not prepared to go back to the laundromat. Yet. I recognize that some folks might pair this with hand/tub wash, and I think it would make a great companion to that approach. I'm not here to defend or recommend my approach, just to describe it, and how it works or doesn't work at the moment.

This spin dryer does exactly as it says it will, it gets the water out of your clothes and leaves them damp dry. If you have a top loader washing mashine it is a good addition and useful item. But for those of us with front loaders it is not necessary. I have a front loader and discovered that the spin cycle gets out as similar amount of water as the spin dryer does. I am not disappointed in the purchase, and it would be useful, but to me it was a redundancy that is not necessary.

Honestly, This is the biggest pain in the arse I've ever had to deal with. Had I known how big of a deal this was going to be ( and by big deal, I mean time consuming, Rearranging every so often so it wont bang against the floor and walls, flood my floors, and just be oh so absolutely annoying just to SPIN out 1 load) I would have ordered a daggon maid to do all my laundry. Honestly, the idea is definitely great but I was looking for something to actually dry my clothes, not spin the water out everywhere and then me have to hang dry. (Also, The machine has 2 spouts for water to come out of. so, if you have a bucket under the big spout, you will have to have a towel under the smaller spout because it will flood your floor. MUST DO ON LAMINATE) Its not subtle. It takes a loooong time. If you have a meeting to make, You better cancel it now! You will at least have to spin your clothes out 3 times to get a descent "dry". After this rebarbative moment, I would rather just pay $1.50 a load and walk up and down 30 steps to do laundry. I'm really just butt hurt because the reviews and research made it out to be this AMAAAZING PRODUCT and here I am upset that I spent 155$ on a machine that doesn't hold up to its standards and takes even more time away from my family.But, that's just me...

High-efficiency washing machines already have a high-speed spin cycle at the end of washing. We put our clothes from our high-efficiency washing machine and the into this product and hardly any water came out at all. In three tests on average about 1/3 of a cup of water was removed. Definitely not worth the time/energy or the cost of the product.
