Spin Dryer 6kg by Umelome, Energy&Power Saving Spinner 2800 RPM Clothes Dryer, Energy Efficiency Class: A+++, Gravity Drain dryer, Black [Energy Class A+++]

I bought this to tide me over while the firm that handles the warranty for my washing machine get their act together.This spinner does a waaaay better job of spinning than my (apparently) 1600 spin speed washing machine.I'm really happy that the spin dryer is super-quite and it only takes 5 mins!The clothes and towels etc are waaay less creased and dry more quickly on airers.It's far better than I was expecting;the build seems substantial and it's a nice matt black, so it matches other appliances here.It's not tooo heavy and has ergonomic handles.As other have pointed out, the bowl is too small but I like the design, if I leave it in place to catch the last drips after the spin cycle has finished, my dogs can't drink out of it.It's really great and I'm planning on getting a washing machine with a lower spin speed in the future and will use this in combination as well as when I'll need it between washing machines. I'm sure it will be more economical.

I wanted to use this for a while before I wrote my review. Have done so, and here are my thoughts.First off, I bought this as my washing machine was dying (has since died) and would only do a very slow spin. Figured this would help. And it certainly did. Even better though, is that now my washing machine no longer works at all, and I am hand washing everything, I find that I am saving a ton of electricity, and have washing that comes out the spinner nearly completely dry. Its, near silent in operation, and extremely efficient in spinning nearly all the water out of even soaking wet towels and bedding. Even in its prime, my washing machine never got so much water out of a load.Sizewise, it will take most of a reasonably big load. I have to split it down only when puttting very wet towels etc through it, so as not to overload the spinner. I went for the biggest spinner I could find, that would take the biggest load. Think I scored a winner on this one.The supplyied container for the water is woefully inadequate for larger hand washed items, but I use a washing up bowl instead, and have had no issues.I found the five minute timer useful, although most items dont need that long anyway. A couple of minutes and the job is done.The child lock would be useful if I had kids, but as I dont, its just an annoying thing that sometimes gets turned on by accident and causes confusion for a moment.Now we come to build quality. I have given the spinner five stars because over all I am extremely happy with it at the moment, BUT... not sure if it will last long term. Although its very stylish looking, and fits in well to a modern kitchen, up close, some of the finishes seem rather rough. (There are a couple sharp edges) and some questionable marks on the back seam. Plus mine arrived with a deep scratch on the paintwork, straight out the box. The scratch is purely cosmetic, and as its at the back, doesnt show so wasnt worth returning for, but its diasappointing on a brand new item.Another small niggle would be the short length of the power cable. Could definitely do with a much longer one, plus better provision for cable storage. There is a short of hook for it, but its nowhere near good enough or particularly useful.Would I recommend? Yes - so far. Obviously, as i have only had it a few weeks, i have no idea how long its going to last, but, as things stand, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an efficient spinner. If you are looking to save electricity then this spinner def does the job. Depending on material, a lot of items come out of the spinner really close to totally dry, cutting dry time by other means to a fraction of the previous time.I will update if I ever have issues with it, and let you know, but so far, its def a winner for me.

Arrived quickly, and very well packed. The black colour looks good. This spin dryer is very easy to use and move around, and stayed stable on our vinyl floor. It's quiet during spinning, and the results are excellent. It takes much more laundry than my old spin dryer. It removes a great deal of water even after a 1600 spin in the washing machine, so less drying time on the line or airers!I would certainly recommend, and would buy again.

Baffled as to how this product has so many good review. Set up my Umelome today expecting at least cupboard dry clothes at the end of a cycle only to find out that a maximum cycle lasts 5 minutes and the clothes are still wet. Figuring that there must be some energy efficient mechanism whereby it turns itself back on later, I waited an hour but nothing. I put the 5 minute cycles on two more times and the clothes (a simple load of pants and socks) still weren't dry.Am I missing something with this product?

Arrived well packaged with clear operating instructions. Dryer is a sturdy, compact size, fits nicely in small space in my utility. I like the 5 minute automatic cut off feature should I forget how long it’s been running for. It is slightly noisier than my old spin dryer when running however I think it’s excellent value for money and I’m very happy with it

The media could not be loaded. Seems very good, hope it has longevity. I would recommend this item. Quiet, nice size. Still able be get alot of water after the washing machine spin. Definitely made tumble dryer quicker.

The Umelome spin dryers are great. They hold a full load of laundry. They are easy to use and overall save time and money on drying laundry.There's no need to use a high spin speed on your washing machine, and they are great if you are hand washing too. Fold the clothes and lay them flat and evenly in the spinner it will hold a full load and the clothes will come out almost completely dry and wrinkle-free.I use it every time I do laundry since buying it 3 months ago and it has been great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to dry laundry quicker and save money on running an expensive dryer.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE IT IS A GOOD SIZE AND IS QUIET RUNNING.REASONABLE PRICE.
