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.
 
Quote: Roger in Tucson has a Spin X that he got at a thrift store and really loves it.

Do we have pics of this brand?

May I request? Thanks.

Hi Terry!!! Thanks for the input!!!
 
Steve I don't think Roger has ever posted a picture of his but I will ask him to do so. How long did the load take to dry? PS Keep us posted as to what they charge you for this cutie. Terry
 
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.

(L H Mercy- that don't sound right do it!).

2,880 RPM? :-( I wanted to be the fastest one on the block, even if for a few days.. LOL LOL LOL
 
Spin Dryer

I too have a spin-x. I use it after I wash clothes in wringer machines and it removes alot of water that wringer leaves behind.
 
Ran "The Boss" again (the spinner /extractor) just now with a load similar to the one I did the other day to test it.

From the F/L washer I was able to get only 1 cup of water out of it (.25l)

Big difference compared to 5 cups (1.25l) that it pulled out of the top loaders load!!

JOKE-
Careful, doesn't Pakistan have reputed ties to Al Qaida?

No offense intended or implied to anyone or any group.
 
cds dvds ?? nice collection of something......

I thought I had a lot of CD's. I quit counting at 300. I finally stored them all in books labeled as to what type of music. I have stored the jewel cases away. I really like how you have yours displayed. Would love to sit and look through them all. I enjoy music and hearing other peoples choices. It usually turns me on to something I really like.

HA!

That's the spousal unit's stuff. It holds 500. The "tower" in front of it (not shown) [actually left when looking head-on]holds another 500.

My stuff is totally separate.

Did I mention that the closet in the den is FULL of Mr. Wonderful's cassestte tapes, and MORE CD's?

I hate clutter and too much stuff... *SIGH*
 
My collection is rather odd..

More ethnic stuff and decidedly not western... remember in NYC we are all basically children or grand-children of immigrants.

In my case BOTH!
 
I Like The Idea Of A Spin Rinse...

so much that I think I am going to order one of these. We don't have much storage room, nor a basement. However, right next to the washer/dryer closet we have a door going out to our patio that does have a drain and electrical outlet. Our Whirlpool doesn't appear to have a spin rinse either.

A question for all of you. How do you know how fast (what RPM) your washers are actually spinning at? Is it in the manual somewhere or maybe the shop manual?
 
Now Look What You've Done!

Steve:

After looking at your photos, I ordered one of these spin dryers too. I figured it would be good to spin dry chamois after drying the cars as well as spin rinsing my laundry. It will also be put to good use to spin dry the towels used to dry the dogs off after their baths. Those towels just get sopping wet after drying 2 Labs and a Golden Retreiver!
 
Steve,
My spinner says 300 watts on the label also forgive me but it is 2800 rpm-I don't know why I thought it said 2880. The label info is for 220v though.....I don't know how that translates. The motor says 120v on it.
It can be nasty if the load isn't quite packed in right-usually only at first-the more it gains speed it seems to smooth out. Sometimes I do have to stop it and rearrange things but not often.

"Dear James,

Thank you for your email. We apologize but there is a quality control
problem with the current shipment, we can't ship your order at this
time.
The machines come with a one year warranty, but really should last 6
years
or more. We don't feel comfortable shipping substandard products to our
customers. We are working on importing a new mini spin dryer that is
much
better quality, it should be available in approximately 2 months. We
apologize for the inconvenience.

ha!

Would that be that the thing is really hard to balance and sounds like the Concorde taking off even when balanced?

or that it smells like burning when unbalanced?

*SIGH*
