After 32 years it finally packed in. I will be lost without it. Invaluable on wet days when you have to use the tumbledryer as it gets every last bit of water from the clothes. Any suggestions about where I might get a replacement? I live in Queensland.

Hi There,
There is a website that sells spin dryers in Australia, known as the Koh I Noor. I have one and it is amazing, like you say, great when you need to use the clothes dryer. I will include the link below where you can purchase them from. I have the white model and its just fine.
Hope this helps

Nothing like a giddyup spinner. If I do towels first, by the time the rest is done the towels are well dry enough to use just hanging on the shower rod.
Pretty sure they're still made but can't link you to one.

Hi Matty,
Thanks for the link. I just jumped online a ordered the stainless steel spinner. Very excited. Really looking forward to it arriving next week.

No problem Simon. I originally had the stainless steel model but because I was the first person to buy one in australia and wrote reviews for them they sent me a free white model a year later which was very nice. Both models are great and the stainless had slightly more capacity which was great for towels
Enjoy it!
Matt
Enjoy it!

Still waiting on the spinner to be delivered. I only live 20 mins away from the company, would have been better to go directly to pick up, oh well perhaps will arrive next week. Just watched the vid on their website, and yes Mayken4now they seem to think only women do laundry, how very dare them and how very sexist all around.
I doubt very much cotton and denim and towels will come out of a 2800 RPM spin ready for ironing or putting away. It is a little misleading comparing a spin dryer to a tumble dryer but I am still looking forward to it arriving. I am sure it will cut tumble drying time down and running costs, especially if I am washing in one of my GE filter-flo washers.
Now I seem to recall that RPM is not the only factor involved in max water extraction but circumference of the spinning tub will also effect the amount of water extracted. I think there is a formulae that works out G-Force in relation to spin speed and tub circumference.

You're right. Some spin dryers can extract more water, others can extract less water due to the drum diameter.
However, the difference is insignificant. the important is that spin dryers can extract LOTS of water in just 2 or 3 minutes. They are the BFF (best friend forever) for any regular top loader washer.
No matter if you dry on a line or in the dryer, the drying time is usually cut by the half or can be even 2/3 faster.

I forgot to mention. Electricity consumption is irrelevant. They aren't powerful appliances and it's used only for a few minutes so, who would care?
In the US, the Mueller spin dryer can be found on The Laundry Alternative website. It's all made of plastic (lightweight, never rusts) built to last and it's very easy to use. It's small and easy to store but handles huge loads. Everybody should try one, It's sure one would love it forever as soon as one uses it by the first time and sees the water comming out of it.

Not that sharp at math but formula I find is f = m * v2 / r. Which means force increases as the square of the velocity-- twice as fast is 4x force. This quantity is divided by r (radius) so a larger radius results in LESS force. Seems counterintuitive, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Google 'centrifugal force formula' and see what you make of it.
These ~8" spinners produce astonishing results in ~3min and tend to balance themselves with only a rudimentary suspension. There's an easy skill to loading them; it will tell you right away if you did it wrong.

The week before last, I washed a usual load of 6 bath sheets sized 3.5 ft X 6.5 ft in the SQ fl. After the third rinse, they were so tangled that they were not going to spin successfully so after a couple of pulse spins, with the drum knocking into the cabinet, which removed a great part of the water, I stopped the machine and waited for the door to unlock. When it did, I transferred each of them to the Miele W1918. They really packed the drum. I set the spin speed to 1400 and let 'er rip. Lots of water came out. I put them in the KA gas dryer with the 37,000 BTU modulating burner that was original to a KM dryer with a drum with a perforated back. Instead of 41 minutes, which is the amount of time they take to dry when spun in the SQ and balanced enough to go into high speed for the last part of the spin, they were dry at 30. The burner was still on, but the flame was tapered all the way down and the timer was ready to go into cool down. I will have to remember this for the cold weather drying season when I use the electric KA inside. As old electric appliance ads would say, I could save 10 minutes of current.
