Centrifugal dryers are essential for laundry and are mainly used to dry clothes and other things that have gone through the washing machine. Some brands boast of drying average weight clothing materials in 2 to 3 minutes at 3,200 revolutions per minute. Below are quick reviews of the most popular brands.
Wonder Wash Spin Dryer
The Laundry Alternative, the maker of Wonder wash, introduced the world to their new product Wonder Wash Spin Dryer. The company boasts that it is capable of 3200 rpm to help juice dry clothes in two to three minutes compared to the conventional dryer that can do the same job in an average of 30 minutes. This product would work best in conjunction with another revolutionary product from The Laundry Alternative, the Wonder Wash Mini Portable Washing Machine. This can also be used as a stand-alone tumble dryer or in conjunction with the tumble dryer. When used with a tumble dryer, it reduces drying time by 30 minutes or more, which means lower energy consumption and longer tumble dryer life.
It is recommended for those who live in apartments and student residences, since space is the main consideration when buying appliances. It’s also lightweight at 22 pounds and plugs into any 110V outlet. The company also boasts that it’s gentler on clothes, which means the wearability of clothes is longer than drying with conventional tumble dryers. This one is also priced less than conventional dryers, so more and more people can afford to have this handy cleaning essential.
Mini Countertop Spin Dryer
Mini Countertop Spin Dryer is lightweight at only 11lbs, but it can do its job in 2-3 minutes with a spin speed of 1600rpm compared to conventional dryers that do a similar job in 30 minutes. It is practical because it is only 13.5″ x 13.5″ x 15″, which makes it easy to handle and store. This is highly recommended for students and those who live in small apartments and mobile homes. The load capacity is 2.2 lbs. (in about 1-2 jeans per load), so this product is not suitable for large families.
It is also very quiet and works best with Wonder wash 110V. This product also uses only 82W, so another great feature of this product is also its energy efficiency. Being a spin dryer, the Mini Countertop Spin Dryer is a spin dryer and not a regular dryer. It extracts more water from the clothes than normal clothes from the washer’s spin cycle and comes out slightly damp.
Portable Centrifugal Clothes Dryer
It has the same features as the brands listed above, such as a spin speed of 3200rpm. It is also capable of drying 12.2 lbs. for wet clothes and 5.5 lbs. capacity for dry clothes. Like the Wonder wash, it only weighs 22lbs and has dimensions of 13.7″ x 13.7″ x 24″. The unit runs quietly except when the load is unbalanced so the user must be careful to balance the load to reduce noise.
Balancing the load can be quite easy because one simply has to stop the machine and move a few items to even out the load distribution and turn it back on. It’s not as compact as a Wonder wash or Minicounter top, but it’s more like a tall kitchen wastebasket that can be easily stored in a corner or cupboard.
Portable spin dryers basically look and work the same way. Whichever brand one chooses to purchase, these products are primarily manufactured to make life easier for everyone.
