I look like a mini top loader.
Here I sit next to the GE dryer.
Above me is the house's main sewer line, and below is the steam heating system's gravity condensate return.
"Tumble" spin dryer.... HMMMMMMM not quite.

Controls and Lid
(packi..ng material still under lid.)
Notice stub on left hand side (in control panel) where one can clamp a hose for a spray rinse.
Notice that there is no name-brand--
unless it is "Boss" as shown on the lid. The lid also says POLYCARBONATE G E COMPANY U.S.A.
Hmmmm is this referring to the lid or the rest fo the plastics too..

tub- plastique
Blue is the fill flume.
lid switch visible- breaks circuit.
*SIGH* "Power" indicator light stays on when lid is shut. Since I think I prefer to have it closed when not in use I might have to add .... LOL, a toggleswitch...LOL.
The plastic hinge for the lid is visible.
Lifting the lid engages a mechanical friction brake, and stops power to motor and indicator light.

Spinner's top mat.
9 inches in diameter. (That's over 22cm)
(As a reference point- the large element on a US electric stove is normally 8 inches.)
Fits just under lip in tub.

I had to break the rather samll to average sized GE T/L-ers wash into three spin cycles.
It was not happy with all the towels at once. (Potion of load)
The load consisted of --- ah heck I have to go look and see what the dryer has in it .... LOL One sec BRB...
2 large bath towels
4 face-sized twoels
4 shirts
1 pair denim shorts
1 pair brief (in flaming hot red. LOL )
1 pair boxers (in dangle-if-you-dare dark blue)
5 pair of sox
1 bandana (for sweat, definitely not a fashion statement!)

Well Steve, how does it work? That is such a cute little thing, much different looking than the SpinX Just wondering how much these are? Roger in Tucson has a Spin X that he got at a thrift store and really loves it. When I have been out there it has been fun to use. Amazing how much water comes out. Keep us posted and thanks for the neat pictures. Terry
BTW-
I like this model better than the one pictured by the guy model.
It is certainly not what I thought I was getting based on that pic. Curious to see if I get it for the price advertised, or shince this one is more deluxe (HA HA ) what the price will be.
Definitely a nice toy and I am very happy with it.

Nice Feature
I like that idea of being able to connect a hose for a spin rinse. It looks like a neat little machine, like a mini top loader.
Have you tried it out? How much water did it extract from the load?
MANY Thanks for posting those photos, they were very nice!

duh- and the most important factoid.
From the above load it removed 5 cups water (1.25l) [std.measuring cup, natch!]
I had an old galvanized tub that fits under the drain elbow fitting in rear.
When the timer runs out (they reccommend 2 to 3 minutes per cycle), the tub just coasts to a stop.
Opening the lid (to re-iterate) engages a brake.

I did not time the dryer, but it finished mighty quick!

Thomas extractor
Hi All,
Felt my ears burning.....lol Sorry I never put pictures up of this extractor. It is made in Germany and carries the brand name Thomas but sure looks like a Spin-X to me. Actually I had to replace one of the rubber mounts for the motor and ordered it from the Spin-X dealer in Texas. Same exact part.
This is 8 lb model and spins at 2880 if I remember correctly. I use it all the time and love it. It takes about 3 batches to fit the load from my A608 Maytag. It more than halves the time for the dryer-nothing takes more than 30 minutes to dry. I use a Maytag LDG9801 gas dryer.

Inside
Forgot- here is the inside of the Thomas. Nice stainless steel basket.
I will be anxious to hear how you like your's Steve. It is much more interesting looking and has some very cool features. I like the spin-rinse idea.

Yes, Thomas does have a nice basket!
Yours discharges from the front mine from the rear.
