I have one of these manual spin dryers and it works very well. It helps if you curl the wet clothes into the spinner, you will get more clothes in and it will spin better.
I've got one of these. I have a flat. I love it, together with wonder wash non electric washer. It doesn't get clothes as dry as spin cycle on a washer, for me, I think it is because I have mine in the bath and the base is not on a totally flat surface, however I put one foot on the left side of the base nearest me, and the right side, furthest away. If I had it on a totally flat surface it might get them dry. I have a clothes airer in the bath, and I get exercise, I would have these over a bulky washing machine any day.
I just started hand washing my laundry because, why not? Today was my first time. But I need a better way to get the water out of my clothes and this looks great!
Do one arm at a time, back n forth and squat a bit. You'll save your back. I have one and live it. Just gotta center the clothes well si it doesn't shake.
Thanks I will try that, I just bought one, I use in bath though, so hard to squat. I try to straighten my back each spin, I am a bit lazy and keep back bent.
@@alspezial2747 Mine don't drip. I use mine in a bath. The floor of the bath is slightly curved, I think this affects the spin mechanism, that is to say that if the floor was flat, it might spin them properly dry. It is dry enough not to do it but not as dry as the spin cycle on the washer however it saves lots of space.
Interesting ~ looks to be quite efficient if the spin is balanced, as for the pull-string operation; pulling both cords and bending down risks a bad back 😖, sitting on a chair on the side of the pull-cord with the cord at the height with the back not bent and using only the arms/sitting at the side and pulling the cords like exercising with a rowing machine at the gym?
I know what you mean, I use mine in a bath, as I am 3 floors up in a flat. I could go outside in dry weather, it's very light. You don't get the leverage - I found that the base does not pop up or move around, if you have 1 foot on one side closest to you, and the other foot on the other side, furthest away, so your feet are diagonal from each other, I hope that makes sense.
@@heathernettrour9277 Harder but not impossible, if you have your feet diagonally on the base, still, you don't get the weight. I need to be less lazy and take mine down 4 flights of stairs and spin outside.
Thank you for sharing. The spin dryer definitely has my interest as an off grid or rolling black out option. What is the name of this? I already have an electric spinner for about seven months now. A bit quirky and a bit of a pain sometimes the first few minutes to get the balance correct. But after the balance, getting nearly all of the water out of my clothes especially thick winter socks and towels is amazing...am familiar with the Lavario and am purchasing one soon.
Fascinating. We create electronic technology to do a task that costs more money than what can be achieved with a pully device and some time in the sun. Makes me wonder...
Cool tech. i have seen this spinning by not pulling the string simultaneously but one after other. that worked perfectly without initial shake. by the way is this still available for purchase?
This is a bit hit-and-miss with the shaking. I now use it on my kitchen floor so level surface. It doesn't matter what I put in. Sometimes the shaking stops and it spins like a dream, other times it shakes so much the lid comes off.
Damn, I want this in India, here our Washing Machine which has Spin Dry facility is Out of order, I am able to Hand wash cloths easily, But Drying them becomes tough where I want this thing.
I've had mine a while now, how do I stop it from shaking? I tried it full and less full, but it shook so much the plastic fell off with the vibrations.
The laundry has to evenly distributed for it to be balanced at the side of the drum; put two items opposite each other and repeat that pattern, full-size electric spin dryers have the same problem of being unbalanced and you have to re-distribute the laundry, and I assume we have seen the automatic front loading washers doing the distribution cycle before spinning
They are still damp. It is like wringing out your clothes. It will dry on the line faster, which is good in the north. It is also more gentle on the clothes than a wringer.
I came back on here, as I just found out, that, if I fill this to capacity, it does not rock about and goes smooth like a dream, drying laundry to nearly dry.
@@heathernettrour9277 due to us getting rent every other day, and me, not wanting to turn my heating on much because it is warm enough, I have not been able to do laundry this way, but I will start again when the rain clears up.
Amazon refunded me the money and I found a working amazon link for one that was cheaper than this one and I got it in 4 days and I love it lol. Is it okay the post the new link on here and you can copy it and update your description and delete the link I Comment with the link?
my spin dryer came but oddly it wont spin and had some loose pieces that i have no idea where they go no instructions came with it and cant contact seller :( any insight on how i can fix it?
