The Nina Spin Dryer is being reworked - a new model is on the horizon!



Meet the next generation of spin dryers! Customers who dye stuff and have lots of washing machine loads are really finding these things handy! Recommended also, as great for batches of hand washables, like silk and rayon scarves or yardage. Some use it for felting. And for the rest of you, who doesn't want to save money?!

The energy saving is that the Spin Dryer removes most of the water that your washing machine doesn't, so substantially lowers (by 30 minutes or more) the time in the dryer. For those delicate items, you can get almost all of the water out before line or flat drying, without tangling or wear and tear. Silk scarves look best if ironed slightly damp, but they are too wet right out of a washer or bucket. And we have a great price.

The new Nina comes with a tall, built-in handle that makes transport easier and keeps bending to a minimum. It is about 7 pounds lighter than the classic Spin Dryer and at 136W it uses even less power than the original model; which is extremely energy efficient to begin with.

Fans of the classic Spin Dryer will recall the lever that has to be turned in order to secure the lid, each time, to switch the machine on and off.
The new design eliminates the need for that lever! Simply close the lid and it automatically turns on. To turn it off, gently pull the latch and the lid automatically opens.
It may be sorcery, but we won't tell!

Features:

  • Works in just 2-3 minutes
  • 12 lb capacity for wet laundry (slightly less than the "Classic" holds)
  • 1800 rpm spin speed - gets out WAY more water than the spin cycle on a washing machine!
  • Portable, only weighs 15 lbs
  • Dimensions: 14" x 14" x 24"
  • Much gentler on clothes than a conventional tumble dryer; Fantastic for hand washables - No tangling or fraying!
  • Removes mineral deposits and detergents, rather than baking them on
  • Can be used as a standalone dryer before line drying, block drying or ironing, or with a tumble dryer to get out the last bit of water
  • If used with a conventional tumble dryer, cuts drying time by 30 minutes or more, significantly reducing energy costs and prolonging the life of your dryer and clothing
  • No special dryer hookup required, can use in many places conventional dryers can't be used. Connects to any 110V outlet
  • Only uses 136 watts, very energy efficient
  • Two Year warranty from the manufacturer, provided they are not used for commercial applications
  • Please note that this is a "spin dryer" which is not the same as a standard clothes dryer. It does not use heat.

More info:

  • Nina Spin Dryer drain spout. (see image above) Note: cute bowl is not included with dryer
    You put a bowl, pan or other type of receptacle underneath the drain spout to catch the water that comes out of the drain spout.
  • Nina Spin Dryer safety lid. (see image above)
    The safety lid is put on top of the clothes inside the
    drum before you start the machine. It prevents items, especially smaller ones like socks, from exiting the drum and potentially damaging the machine.
  • You may see a metal bar underneath the machine attached by two zip ties; this is to securely fasten the motor for it's long trip overseas. Snip the zip ties and remove the metal bar before using the machine. If the zip ties are already cut when you get the machine don't worry - as part of their quality control the vendor tests random machines before they are shipped out.

I've had this in continuous service for nearly three years in my home spin-drying every single thing I wash for my family and I'm finally ready to replace it. It had become a lot louder as some of the plastic bits started to get chewed away (escaped socks when I forgot the cover unbalanced load slamming the passage of time...) and the lid mechanism broke a bit and started rattling around and then today the brake finally failed. It's still usable in its current state! Just a lot more annoying. I've been very happy with the machine and I think its lifespan was reasonable considering I've been putting this to very heavy use. Yes balancing the loads is a pain. I still get water all over the floor once in awhile as it tries to dance all over the place. But it does a really amazing job consistently. The clothes are slightly damp never wet. There's never tons of soap left on our clothing. We're saving a ton of electricity. I got this as a stop-gap when I got tired of repairing our ailing washer myself but to my surprise I quite enjoyed the soak-handwash-spindry process... so much so that when my husband suggests finally replacing the old washer I resist! I've used this for clothes blankets pillows (beware your warranty) woolens coats... even an afghan that I would never have trusted to a regular washing machine. Never had a complaint only that it didn't last another three years!

This will pay for itself quickly in reduced electric dryer time! There is about a cup of water removed from each load of laundry! Plus it removes a huge amount of water from my handspun yarns and washed fleece. They now dry overnite instead of several days. Highly recommended.

We use one in the studio for classwork. It holds up well to heavy use from all of our fiber classes. Load balancing can be a bit troublesome though.

I am please with this product. I have recently been simplifying and down sizing my life. To that end I decided to go with a hand washer and this spin dryer. It takes clothes from wet to near dry very quickly depending on the fabric. Fabrics like polyester come out essentially dry. Cotton comes out damp and dries in 6-12 hours when hanging in my closet. It's a bit tricky to load keeping it balanced and it doesn't hold more than about 4-5 tee shirts. Clothes tend to be slightly crispy when they dry even if you use fabric softener in the water since it spins most of the fabric softener out with the water. Overall I'm very pleased with this spin dryer.

I bought this and it arrived today. I have been hand washing my clothes and wringing them out for months after I moved out of a home with a clean washer. Meaning it had never been used with scented laundry soap of fabric softeners. I am deathly allergic to such products. My Nina Soft seems to do well. It is a big improvement from hand wringing out my laundry. I was a little disappointed it didn't remove more water and wish I had gotten a different centrifuge. But that was for a heavy pair of sweat pants and tomorrow I will try laying them flat on the spinner wall one at a time to see if it creates maximum extraction. Don't get me wrong. Nina Soft extracts a lot of water and I would never discourage anyone from getting it. I used it at 6 pm tonight three hours ago and several shirts I hung up are nearly dry. The construction is great. The design is well thought out. Remember to remove the metal bar at the bottom when you open the package or you could damage the unit. It holds the motor in place during transport. I give this five stars. A very good product.
