My school just got one of these and it is SO COOL! I love it and it is so cute! It is an extractor but only big enough for one swimsuit! The tub is ALL CHROME and about the size of a large water bottle and in 5-10 seconds it removes 95% of the water in your suit! You have to hold the lid down and then it starts, let go and it stops. They cost $1,200.00 dollars per unit!!!!!!!!!! And it spins at 3,450 RPM!!!!! It goes from 0 to 3,450 RPM in one second and less than a second to stop!!!!! It is the coolest Extractor I have ever seen!!!!!!!! I'll see if I can get a pic of the tub sometime after Christmas break. Maybe even a video.

Oh yes, I also forgot to add that it is bolted to a wall. So it is way up high.

Looked thru the doco on your link-very interesting little device!That is pretty neat.No more wet drippy swimsuits!Every pool owner should have on of those.That device could also have promise if it was enlarged(larger spin basket and case)and sell it to home laundry users-be a good alternative to the SpinX unit.the suitmaster looks better made.Like the complete service instructions in your link.Must be well made--for the $1200 price tag.Wonder if used units are available?

I hope so. I REALLY want one. I saw one on ebay about a month ago but thought nothing of due to its price tag... $500.00!!! I thought, "What an idiot! Nobody is going to go for that!" I wish you could like win them easily or something, I have had the same dreams over and over for the past couple nights now that the school bought 2 on accident and since I knew so much about it they just gave one to me. If only...

WOW, a pocket-sized centrifuge!

Now I won't have to run my swimsuits though the Acme Juicerator anymore for damp-drying...just kidding!

The pool at the college my wife works at has these in the locker room and they do work great. With in a few seconds your suit is almost dry. I did try to stuff my towel in there but they are not that big.
