The Holy Grail!
Have an older model of Laundry Alternative spin dryer. Prior to that used the extractor of the Hoover TT. All serve their purpose well, but have been on the hunt for one of these:
One member has an Monex extractor, the other known in existence (that is in good nick) resides in the laundry room of Martha Stewart's Maine estate.

Larger unit would allow doing of blankets and other thick/heavy items done by hand or with Maytag wringer washer.
Getting back on topic, no extractors/spin dryers never really caught on in USA, at least for domestic use. Commercial laundry was another matter.
Housewives went from wringers to automatics for most part. Either way thanks to vast reserves and cheap energy (gas, electric, or whatever) clothes dryers in 1940's though much of the 1960's sold here were often quite capable of literaly baking things dry thanks to high heat settings.
General Electric, Easy and others with their twin tub washer/extractor units didn't gain large market share either. This even when those spin dryers though having less rpms than what is found today still beat wringers in terms of extraction.
