Ninja Spin Dryer - Portable Spin Dryer for Clothes - 3200 RPM with High Tech Suspension System - Portable Ideal for Apartments, RV Travel - Emerald

The first unit I received was defective. Not a huge deal aside from the inconvenience; that happens with the best products and companies. The most important measure of quality for the money is what they do about that. This seller was very responsive and shipped a replacement immediately, along with a pick up for the old unit. I had my new unit in a couple days. The new unit is working as advertised. This dryer is great. It works very quickly and gets clothes almost completely dry - an impressive feat for a machine that does not use heat. It slashed tumble dry times in my 110v dryer down to less than a third of what they were before. With this machine I can now do a load of laundry with my mini machines in the same amount of time as (or less than) a traditional machine. It only takes a couple minutes to extract most of the water. You can set it on the counter and put the drain over the sink (I recommend a fine mesh drain trap to capture any lint if you do), or you can set a large container at the bottom (choose a larger one than you think because this extracts a LOT of water). Make sure to balance the load and use it on a flat, level surface or the machine will wobble and not work efficiently. Try to put the clothes in evenly but also hold onto the meaning for a few seconds after it starts to let it adjust itself. It should still wobbling and go quiet in a couple seconds. It should be fairly quiet and steady. I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s an important addition to my small space. Light enough to lift onto the counter, narrow enough to store in a tiny closet, fast enough to shave hours off my laundry tome, and affordable enough to keep my total cost for all three items (washer, spin dryer, and 110v tumble dryer) well under the cost of a full-size set.

The Ninja centrifugal ('spin') clothes dryer is working like I expected. What has surprised me is that it's more gentle starting-up than I thought it'd be and the sound it makes is more of a 'purr ' than the noise I was expecting. I put the dryer on a AC power outlet strip with an on/off switch so I can power-down the dryer without engaging the mechanical brake that is engaged if the power-switch on the dryer is used. In that way I allow the spin dryer to spin down much more slowly than if the brake was engaged (I then use the dryer's power switch to engage the brake once the drum is almost completely stopped). The spin dryer has surprisingly good bearings and it takes several minutes to spin down to where I engage the mechanical brake (i.e. I turn-off the dryer using its on/off switch with integral brake). So far (without having taken it apart) my best guess is that the spin dryer uses an under-sized two-pole induction motor and it takes 20 to 30 seconds to get up-to-speed when power is applied. --------------------------- I find that it's best to press-down on the dryer housing when it's first turned-on as slight imbalances in the load can cause the dryer to shake as the drum comes-up-to-speed and it passes through mechanical resonant frequencies. Once the drum is spinning pretty well the spin dryer is stable with minor vibrations being felt if the body of the dryer is touched. The feet on the dryer are of a material that serves to damp mechanical vibrations of the case. It is important for the dryer to be sitting directly on a solid surface as otherwise damaging mechanical oscillations (as the drum comes-up-to-speed) might occur. ----------------------------------- For someone like me it's OK but it'd be too much of a bottleneck in the wash-cycle for a family with a lot of clothes to wash on a weekly basis. I can stuff 4 or 5 long-sleeve shirts into the dryer or (roughly) 3 bath towels. Then it's about a three minute spin-cycle to squeeze-out most of the water. After that everything still goes up on hangers for air-drying but there's significantly less water in the fabric (at the start of the air-drying process) compared to if the clothes went straight from the washer to air-drying. The 'Ninja ' centrifugal spin dryer is (in my opinion) targeted at the same people who find 'tiny homes ' an interesting concept. -------------------------------------------------------- From what I can tell the overall quality of the Ninja centrifugal ('spin') dryer is good. It isn't 'commercial quality ' but for under $160.00 it's reasonable. The only ventilation louvers for the motor are on the bottom of the case and I'm guessing the designers were worried that water would get inside if they put louvers on the sides. I'd be happier if I could force-air-cool the motor but have sternly 'told-myself ' not to take-out-the-drill while the dryer is new. -------------------------------------------------------- - Paul --------------------------------- (update) 09 December 2025 The Ninja Spin Dryer is still working like it's supposed to. After use I leave the top open for several hours to allow the interior to dry out. - Paul ----------------------------------

This is bigger than I expected but I am perfectly happy to make room for it. I am 5'8 and the top hits me mid-thigh while sitting on the floor. Length and width are about 13x13 inches. It fits a medium sized load of clothes and I LOVE this. Our washer broke but our family cannot go even a day without washing any clothes, let alone days while the parts are ordered and appointments for next week are made, etc. I don't like laundromats because most soaps cause a reaction to my skin and other people's laundry soaps get into my clothes. (Besides the prohibitive price of laundromats.) Getting a Wonder Washer was weeks out so I bought a scrubba bag and went to town hand washing clothes. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so the amount of water I am able to wring out left our clothes pretty wet and they were taking forever to dry in the dryer. Especially since our dryer is one of the newer models that likes to takes it's time and chat with the washer while eventually getting to the business of drying something. Therefore, after much research (thank you fellow reviewers!), I purchased this Laundry Alternative Spinner. I put a bucket full of very wet clothes into it, mash them down without worrying about distributing them evenly, put a bowl under the drain spout,and run it for a few minutes. Small loads take about 2 minutes and larger take about 5 minutes. This spinner leaves my clothes barely damp and works much better than the spin cycle of any washer I have ever used. As in, I am about to save money on energy even when my washer is fixed. The drying time after using this is a third of the usual drying time in the dryer and some of my clothes I left hanging in the shower while I went shopping. When I got home, they were completely dry. I will add one last important note. When I received my Spinner, I followed the included insert to remove the top piece, which is right under the lid and easy to pull out and discard, and the bottom (plastic?) base that are supposed to protect it during shipping. I could not find the bottom brace and came very close to dismantling the machine in search of this brace. Before messing with that screw and removing vital parts, I decided to take a quick look at the manual to see what this brace looked like. This is when I understood that while my Spinner was fully intact when I received it and suffered no issues in shipping, no bottom brace was included.
