GE Combo

A spin-dryer would definitely make a whole world of a difference, regardless of the washer you have.

And, not that I'm trying to sell my fish but..... When the Ninja (The model that replaced the Mega) was designed, I focused on all the Panda's (my competitor) drawbacks.

I succeeded in four key areas:

1) Extraction performance (different drum design, better extraction performance using the same 3200RPM)
2) Less noise
3) Impressive durability and expected life. (27 thousand cycles vs 1200 cycles from Panda). It's, virtually, a spin dryer that can last forever. (or at least over 30 years)
4) Usability: The DSS suspension system (Only The Laundry Alternative has that) is way more tolerant to OOB loads, minimizing the need to stop and rearrange the load.

No worries Tom, at least now your V-Zug knowledge is up to date again.

VZug

That system is somewhat different though.

They use something called a "rotating union" (at least according to Google that's its name in English).
So the paddles are directly connected to the water supply.

The machine has a special sensor that senses both the drum speed and the drum position.
In union with the 3D acceleration sensor it can directly inject water in the right paddle.

Basically an electronic version of the old mechanical system.
