Admittedly, I am not someone who gets excited about the spin speed of washers, but I would love to see 2,000 rpms.
Have a good one,

2,000 rpm...
It is quite a sight! My little A-50 just gets up and goes. I actually ran a load thru my MAH7500 washer with the higher spin speed and then respun the load in the A-50 and still got water out of them...

Une Essoreuse.
"Admittedly, I am not someone who gets excited about the spin speed of washers, but I would love to see 2,000 rpms."
It's impressive. When I was in school in Paris, the dormitory laundry had a Vintage Miele front loader, a brand new Miele Commercial dryer(which reversed tumbling direction every minute or so), and a new Miele extractor, or as they called it, "une essoreuse". That thing was amazing. You'd put your wet laundry in it from the washer, put a rubber spider-web thingy on top of it, close the lid, move a lever over the lid to start it, and it would wind up to 2000 rpm's in about 30 seconds. It had a drain spout on the side of it and you could watch all that water just belch out of that cylinder. It made the drying only take about 15 minutes. Even then, in 1978, I knew the French were much smarter than we about energy conservation. I still want one and am waiting for Miele to market them here.
Made the mistake once of not putting the rubber web on top of the laundry. Two of my cotton T-shirts ended up shredded. But damp dry.

You do notice that the only time rinsing is mentioned is at the picture of the hose connected to the faucet, "wash and rinse water pump into sink..." While you could wash several loads in the same water, rinsing, if done in the machine, required that the wash tub be refilled for each load or two. Getting 11 gallons from a bathroom sink faucet, even before flow restricting faucets, takes some time.
I wonder if anyone using the dryer thought to place it in front of a radiator during the heating season to boost the incoming air temperature? When I moved into a house without a 220 volt outlet for my DE806, I ran it on 120, but placed it in front of a radiator. The whole dryer, cabinet and drum, stayed nice and warm and the air intake grill on the back was right against the radiator. It really reduced the drying time.

Ah yes but 2,000 RPM alone does NOT tell the whole story. The diameter of the tub COMBINED with the RPMs is what determines G-force and ultimately the amount of water extraction.
My Hotpoint 80's electric dryer is working on 110v (in the kitchen) in that my residence does not have 220v. I find that when the oven or top-burner are on in the kitchen, clothes dry quicker. Of course, one has to be careful not to run the dryer when cooking smelly things, or the load will stink!
That dryer BTW does not have a cool-down period. Found one at a garage-sale. The vent is only 3 inches (76mm) in diameter instead of 4" (102mm).
