That is a good thing for a 9 min spin on the top loaders because 5 mins don't cut it. I find with my SQ washer I need to do another spin to get out as much water as I can. Loads notorious for this are jeans and towels. Granted the SQ washer is no front loader when it comes to extraction, I see that with mine. My GE badged Frigidaire built front loader, washes, and extracts better than the SQ washer. Yet the SQ washer is faster time wise, but uses much more water and is a tad harsh on fabrics I find. But this is my opinion and what I find with my two washers here.
