Would you have a spin dryer?

... Mueller is waiting for the UL certificate to start selling their products in the US and Canada.
Maybe even this year they will get clearance to sell their products over there, then I want to see the fight. Their products are very dependable, they still making them to last for many and many years (considering a standard "toss n'go" dumb user) and as cheap as a chinese crap.
I just don't know how will they get their perfect rinsing on front loaders with the ridiculous "2 tablespoons of water" american standards but anyway, why spend 2 thousand dollars on a front loader that can't rinse well if people can pay 500 dollars for a front loader that will last at least 3 times more and will never have mold or smell issues?
I'm not sure, but following the theory of the obvious, the first product to be launched in the U.S. is the spin dryer. After that the static clothes dryer (drying cabinet) because it's too cheap and excellent for some specific uses (like drying shoes and items that can't be tumbled), then the front loader washers and washer/dryer.
Not sure if there should be any market for the semi-automatic washers because of the american habits. But it could be a great idea to wash using lots of water and at the same time reuse it and save water and detergent. (Ok, among us of course it would be nice, but i'm talking about the standard consumers).By the way, the definition o semi automatic in Brazil is much different. here semi automatic means the machine has only a countdown timer to shut it off, like a kitchen timer. The machine doesn't spin at all, to fill it the user must open the tap and manually close it after reaching the desired water level and they a gravity drain. Almost like a Maytag wringer, without the wringer and the pump.

Drying Cabinets
Asko amoung a few others sell them in the United States, not sure of how many units they move. Tall things, designed to hold boots, wet rain gear and what not.
Hoover Spin Dryers:
IIRC the spinner was about 2000rpms, would have to look it up. Am sure someone has the exact number.

The Panasonic was direct drive from a 60Hz capacitor motor so its speed should have been 1750.
Malcolm,
So far I'm happy with my Charming.. seems to be a better value than a Spin-X.
It is a little expensive for what you get, but beggars can't be choosers.
In some ways, it's almost criminal as to what they charge for these things. If they were much more common, they'd probably be around half the price.
To Tolivac,
I have done that before in the past, but I have to wait for it to spin down first, then brake it and start it back up again. It doesn't make happy noises if you try and open the lid while it's spinning at around 3000 RPM.. If I let it spin down to around 1000-600 RPM first, it sounds better and is probably easier on the brake.
Hmm... I should make a video... I just don't have a decent videocamera.

Where I really see the biggest difference in drying times is when I spin things which can hold a lot of water, like towels, denim and cotton sweaters.
Amazing how 3 seconds of fast spinning can shave off at least 15 minutes of drying time.
