IIRC The Final Spin Speed
On some of the Whirlpool versions of these compact washers was a rather fast >700rpms to help with extraction for faster drying times. As one does have a compact Whirlpool dryer am here to tell you a good sized load spun at 900 rpms in the Miele will dry in about 45 mins. A load from the Whirlpool which is smaller takes about an hour.
In all cases usually bung things into the spin dryer/extractor for 3-5 minutes to wring out as much excess moisture as possible. In such cases drying time is shortened by 10% to 15%, even in the case of thick and thirsty towels.
Older Whirlpool compact dryers had 1350watts of heating power. Not much (one has blow dryers that run hotter), but better than the 1200 watts or less found today. Am sure some clever person could jig up higher heating elements but that would also mean changing thermostats and other things, no?
