The Laundry Alternative Mega Spin Dryer, Huge 22 Pound Capacity, Ventless Portable Electric Dryer. 3 Year Warranty, 110V, Saves You Time And Money!

The machine is wonderful!!!! It comes with very clear instructions. Itʻs light enough I can move it all over. My downstairs neighbor didnʻt hear any sound when I used it.I canʻt wring out my cloths, due to arthritis. This is the solution. Fabrics are dry enough to air dry. Thereʻs no way to dry outdoors where I live, so this is the next best solution. No more trips to our complexʻs foul laundry room. I wash in a container, with a plunger, and spin with this. I have the laundry solution Iʻve been looking for.It spins out wash water so well that rinsing takes about a quarter the time and water it used to. No sore hands. No dripping clothes! My ceiling fan is enough to dry sports bras in about 2 hours.I spun a heavy bath sheet with other items in the load and it was dryer than any washer spin Iʻve used. Really quiet after the spin is up to speed. Much quieter than a washer spin, and more effective. The drain could be a bit easier to deal with. Itʻs on the front of the machine. You have to put a container under it and empty it after each load. It looks like you can hook a hose underneath it, but youʻd need a floor drain to use it. I canʻt use the bottom dra.in in the bath tub because instructions say it must be on a flat surface. Thereʻs no mention of attaching a hose in the instructions, however.UPDATE: Iʻve used this for over a year. Here are a few tips.READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY before you plug it in. Everything you need to know is there. My first one was damaged in shipping and they immediately replaced it with no questions asked. Hold onto the box until youʻve tried a few loads to make sure little chunks of plastic do come out in the water.Use super absorbent towels/Sham Wow under the drains to keep your floor safe and dry. You can afford them with all the laundromat money youʻre saving! Find the right size container to put under the drain. There will be a lot more water than you expect!Take the time to make sure the load is balanced. If itʻs not it will beat against the sides of the machine and cause internal damage after too many nasty loads. Do it right and the loads end updryer and donʻt damage the machine.Wash and rinse in separate containers. Spin your soapy clothes before you rinse. Wash more with an air plunger while the load spins. You can wash and spin a lot of clothes and linens in a day if you get a smooth system going. Wash the cleanest clothes first so you can let the nasty stuff soak while the others are drying on the rack if you have a large laundry day.Make sure you have the plastic piece on top of your load before you spin. Press it down so the load settles into the drum before you spin.I like my spin dryer better now than I did when I first bought it!

I've used this dryer for a month now, and I thought I'd share my reasoning for purchase and my observations thus far.Reasoning: I recently downsized to a two bedroom apartment with limited capacity for a washer and dryer. In fact, almost no dryer capacity. I purchased a second hand washing machine that barely fit through the door and wanted to avoid having to take wet clothes to the laundromat. In addition, I'm somewhat eco-conscious as well and the reviews/videos I've seen of these dryers made me really want to try taking one... for a spin. (Groan)Setup: This is light. I had no trouble hiking this up six stairs and then back down six stairs to it's location. I can carry a forty pound bag of dog food if I strain, but I'm not a burly guy. Setup was... confusing. You definitely want to make sure you take the brace out from the bottom before you start it that prevents it from spinning and damaging itself during shipment. There are warning stickers. I didn't pay attention, but caught it very quickly before I damaged the unit.Impressions: This does dry laundry. I've tried it with two scenarios. The first was damp laundry out of a HE spin washer from my laundromat and the difference was negligible... maybe a cup of water out of a single wash load. The second scenario is out of my old school top-loader. This removes easily a gallon of water from that load and gets the clothing... to damp.Buy a drying rack. You'll need it. For sure.When I say load, I'm saying wash load. It takes me five separate spin loads to clear a washer load from my relatively small washing machine. My process is to do a load in the washing machine, split it up into five groups with something heavy on the bottom of each for balance, and then I do other household chores or hang laundry during each of the 5-6 minute spin cycles. If you balance the laundry well, it will come safely to a halt and you can grab each load when it's done. If you overfill it or unbalance it, it threatens to topple over. I never dared try to see if it actually would.Verdict: I can't really do bedding. It's a little tedious. I'm not sure how it will do in a humid summer. I'm not prepared to go back to the laundromat. Yet. I recognize that some folks might pair this with hand/tub wash, and I think it would make a great companion to that approach. I'm not here to defend or recommend my approach, just to describe it, and how it works or doesn't work at the moment.

Honestly, This is the biggest pain in the arse I've ever had to deal with. Had I known how big of a deal this was going to be ( and by big deal, I mean time consuming, Rearranging every so often so it wont bang against the floor and walls, flood my floors, and just be oh so absolutely annoying just to SPIN out 1 load) I would have ordered a daggon maid to do all my laundry. Honestly, the idea is definitely great but I was looking for something to actually dry my clothes, not spin the water out everywhere and then me have to hang dry. (Also, The machine has 2 spouts for water to come out of. so, if you have a bucket under the big spout, you will have to have a towel under the smaller spout because it will flood your floor. MUST DO ON LAMINATE) Its not subtle. It takes a loooong time. If you have a meeting to make, You better cancel it now! You will at least have to spin your clothes out 3 times to get a descent "dry". After this rebarbative moment, I would rather just pay $1.50 a load and walk up and down 30 steps to do laundry. I'm really just butt hurt because the reviews and research made it out to be this AMAAAZING PRODUCT and here I am upset that I spent 155$ on a machine that doesn't hold up to its standards and takes even more time away from my family.But, that's just me...
