I think I want a spin drier.

One of the really small but really fast ones. Trying to avoid using the tumble drier and it make sense to spin out more water than have it evaporate in the house.

Does anyone have one? Any thoughts?

I had one years ago, it definitely did help to dry the clothes faster. In fact I cant remember now why I got rid of it !

Actually it's a dryer I want. To make my clothes drier than they would be. (Writing this made me google 😂)

My washing machine offers an extra spin. Can't you do this?

I could but the maximum spin speed is nothing like a separate spin dryer.

not a spindryer but inherited a twin tub the same thing use that for spinning bedding ,towels socks and underwear spins load of water out . Mine old and spins at 2800rpm.
Only thing is teeshirts ,shirts really creased anything delicate wouldn't use it and on jeans it can cause marks by somehow pulling the dye out .
if you buy a new spin dryer check the speed some off the new ones are 1400rpm same as your washer .
Then can be tough on clothes but you get used to it and things like school shirts very creased .
Occasionally use twin tub for washing all the bedding from 4 beds , bathmats dish cloth and weeks worth of towels bit more work but can have it done in under an hour normally 3 loads in washer and would take over 9 hours

What about a dehumidifier? I've just bought one and it's making an amazing difference

The extra water they get out is incredible. White Knight worth look.

@rwalker I was thinking would be most useful for towels and bedding which are always the hardest to dry indoors. Interesting about colours running.

I was looking at 2800rpm

The tiny spin dryers sometimes in health clubs are great, get so much water out.
I bet there are videos on your tube to Show how good they are.
