Panda 3200 RPM Portable Spin Dryer,22lb Capacity, Dark Gray | Stainless steel drum and outer case; 110V portable spin dryer for apartments, RVs, dorms and compact laundry spaces.

I do not normally do reviews, but I couldn't help it in this case because every time I've used this product I've stated how much I love it. We've had it for a week, and it's been a true game changer for me and my roommate. We don't have laundry in house, and we don't have a car so going to the laundrymat is rough for us. This has been the best purchase. It gets the clothes 99% dry - even towels! They're so dry, we don't even need to hang them up outside, we just put them on a foldable drying rack in front of our dehumidifier - which saves us from having to deal with the swarms of mosquitos outside. It's done in just five minutes and gives us the flexibility to do our laundry in the apartment by hand without having to wait days for them to dry, or fret about the constantly rainy weather. It's really easy to set up, it's not huge so it fits pretty much anywhere, and is surprisingly lightweight. The only complaint I have about it is that you do have to be very careful about the weight distribution of your clothes, otherwise it will wobble all over the place. I usually babysit it for the first minute to make sure it'll be okay, then go off to do whatever I need to while it finishes. For this reason, I don't think I feel the need to rate it below 5 stars, because that's just a very minor inconvenience for me, personally. I use a 3 gallon basin to put beneath the drain spout and that seems to work fine for us. It can hold around 3-4 big towels at a time, or usually around 11-ish articles of clothes (shirts/pants).

Four Stars because it the first one came DOA. I used the free return feature, identical replacement, the old one was picked up the next business day and the new arrived two days later. The first unit beeped when you turned it on but did not spin. Second one works perfectly. My previous dryer was the Nina soft. It worked fine for 3 years then just quit. I decided to try the Panda because it has higher spin speed. Note: First I review Spin Dryers, and at the end I will compare the Nina Soft to the Panda. Both Spin Dryers were very useful machines. They spin out so much water that 10 minutes in a commercial dryer would get the clothes dry. Clothes dry easily in an hour indoors, 10 - 20 minutes outdoors. Together with a bucket and a breathing mobile washer, you can do a load of clothes very quickly in the kitchen or bath and get things cleaner than a washing machine by far. I soak overnight in the bucket, use the breathing washer (looks like a plunger but is a hard plastic agitator) to work the clothes in the bucket for 5 minutes, then spin out the soapy water, refill bucket with fresh water, work the clothes for a couple of minutes, then spin out the rinse water for 5 minutes and hang to dry or tumble in a commercial dryer for a few minutes. Saves money, energy, water, and you get cleaner clothes. You can easily use home-made laundry soap like washing soda and Fels Naptha, and after the rinse, there is NO soap or detergent in your clothes. Also, the whole process is much easier on your clothing, not nearly as much lint and heat destruction, as there is with standard washing. I also have a natural bristle shaving brush and bathing brush, and I spin these out as well. They last longer and never mildew. Panda Vs. NinaSoft. The Panda is more expensive. It has a stainless steel drum and exterior. The Ninasoft has a Plastic exterior and I believe a plastic drum. The Panda is louder. If I do laundry early in the AM, there is a slight possibility the neighboring apartment could hear the hum. The NinaSoft is much quieter. The Panda does get out more water with the faster spin speed (which probably causes the higher noise levels as well) but the NinaSoft did an OK job of getting water out too. The Panda has a 5 minute timer on it which is EXTREMELY CONVENIENT. If you forget about the NinaSoft, it will run for hours, with unknown consequences. It might wear out more quickly, there may be a possibility of fire, but I don't know. I just don't like the idea of an appliance running a spinning drum for hours continuously. The Panda cannot do this. It will shut down after 5 minutes no matter what. Good feature! The Panda is definitely easier to load and balance. I believe it speeds up more slowly, allowing the water (which is the primary weight in the drum) to drain out before stepping up to higher speed. This means that a slightly unbalanced load will seem to "balance itself." However, if you severely unbalance the load, the machine will walk all over the place and fail to speed up. Better to keep things even in there. The Nina Soft had a VERY convenient handle on top. No such luck with the Panda. You have to bend over and wrap your arms around it to pick it up and move it, and it is heavier than the Nina Soft. Bottom line: Both work. Both work well. Panda has the 5 minute shut-off and gets a bit more water out. Ninasoft is cheaper and has a great handle. Both are very suitable to use in an apartment with no hookups, or if you live in a "tiny house" or boat. 4/7/2018 Update: Still working perfectly. I am liking the higher speed more and more, and the 5 minute run limit is pure genius. I have a washer and dryer that are extremely handy, yet I use this all the time. Some items like wool vests and fleece sweaters come out of this dry enough to put on. I have done a full size bath towel and the results were amazing. Towels, underwear, socks, anything that doesn't need to look pressed never go in the dryer. I have an indoor rack and everything gets dry in a few hours, even on a rainy day. Towels, and socks may take an overnight hang to get completely dry. No one makes a larger version, which is a shame. Udpate 2/23/2022 Yep it is still working perfectly. I now have a laundry room and new set of LG front-loaders, and I STILL use my Panda. Sometimes things don't work out and this thing is gold. Like the time I knew my favorite v-neck vest was in the wash, and then, 20 minutes before I had to leave, It wasn't. I found it in the hamper, did a quick hand wash in the sink, then 2 minutes in Panda to get out the soap,another quick hand rinse in the sink, then 4 minutes in Panda. It came out nearly dry. The dryer was still warm from the previous load, so I popped it in with a couple of other dry articles and ran it for 5 minutes. It came out dry, clean, and ready to wear, in 15 minutes flat. There just is nothing else that can do this. I'm still amazed that I can pull a couple of shirts out of the wash after the high speed spin, put them in the Panda, and extract ANOTHER 1/3 - 1/2 cup of water. I still use the panda for small loads, like a couple of shirts and t-shirts. I can run them through it in 5 minutes, then hang them up or toss them in the dryer for literally 5 minutes and they are wrinkle free and ready to wear. I know this saves energy because the Panda takes so little electricity. Still going after all these years.

Spin Dryer Review I decided to start hand-washing my clothes, but getting them dry enough was the biggest challenge. This little spin dryer has been AMAZING! It takes about 3 minutes, and my clothes come out drier than they normally do after a regular wash cycle. It makes air-drying so much faster and easier. And honestly, the best part? No more dealing with a nasty shared washing machine that 23 other families in my building are using. 😂 Absolutely worth it if you’re hand-washing clothes or just want to get your laundry significantly drier before hanging it up!

I just got the Panda Spin Dryer delivered today and was really excited to try it. I did a small load of laundry -- 20 microfiber towels, 16" square each. Took them out of the washer when the cycle was done. They already felt just damp so I wasn't sure how much water would be expelled during the Panda spin cycle. The 20 towels took up all the room in the inner spin basket when loaded in as the directions specify. Turned on the spin dryer and stood by as the cycle started. I was expecting the spin dryer to be louder than it was. It was fairly quiet! I have the dryer sitting on a thin silicone mat on my kitchen tile floor. I put a large bowl underneath the spout. I couldn't believe it, but a steady stream of water was being expelled from the dryer! I let the full cycle run (which is 5 min) and the buzzer sounded that the dryer was done. I then waited until the spin stopped on its own, which took another 3 to 4 minutes or so. The slow-down, the last minute, is when the dryer started vibrating/shaking, but I was right there to make sure all was well. The towels were much drier than I expected, they felt slightly damp. I decided to air dry them on my laundry rack inside to see how long it would take to completely air dry. 2 hrs total. I'm so impressed and pleased with this spin dryer that I wanted to write a review ASAP! This dryer is a beast! It's heavy (about 26 lbs, which is heavy for me). Very happy with my purchase so far. I hope this is a product I'll have for many years!

I'm loving this thing! I have a strange use for it: I have pet mice and rats, and recently started using coconut coir for their bedding. It comes in a brick and you have to soak it in water to expand it. But then you have to dry it out before using. I had been baking it in the oven, which took hours and made a mess (there was so much water in it, it soaked the inside of the oven). I tried a different brand of spinner dryer first, the Laundry Alternative counter top. Now I know it's not fair comparing a big unit like this Panda with the a counter-top version, but this is night and day better. the LA was a piece of junk, frankly. It sort of worked, but leaked. It didn't get out much water because the RPMs were lower. If it were made better, I may have considered buying their big unit instead, but went with Panda based on reviews. This Panda spinner is amazing. It's solid and well-built. It takes me about 10 minutes now instead of all day. I soak the brick for about 5 minutes, which makes it expand. Then I put the gloppy mess in a pillowcase, let it drip in the bathtub for a few minutes to get out the excess water, then shove the whole thing into the Panda. The Panda gets out so much water in 5 minutes that I don't even have to dry the resulting bedding in the oven. I put it in foil broiling pans I got at the supermarket and just stir it throughout the day. The next time I need to use bedding, it's ready. The first two times I did this process, the Panda really shook and traveled. The faucet started to leave the pan, but I was ready based on other reviews. After about 30 seconds, the load balanced itself better and it stopped trying to walk away. But today I got it balanced better when I loaded it, and it never did shake like that. The amount of water that comes out is amazing. This is a very well-made product. The only complaint if I had to find one is that when the water starts to lessen, it spurts out a little so that it drips onto the rim of the foil pan. So you have to have a pan that goes right against the Panda. But I love it. (And my pets do too). UPDATE: Removed a star because it stopped working after 5 years. I haven't used it in about 5 months. It has been sitting out, so it hasn't been moved since the last time I used it when it worked perfectly find. But when I started it, there was a loud banging which sounded like the drum hitting the sides. It appears the suspension has gone belly-up. (And no, it wasn't from imbalance; this was definitely a loud mechanical clunking.) Have been thrilled with it for the past 5 years but I hoped it would last longer. Since I don't use it for laundry, I only use it about once every few months. I also never use the brake; I let it stop spinning on its own.

If you got a washing machine that doesnt spin like it should and still leaves your clothes wet? This is a game changer for sure. Spins up to 3200 rpm. Quiet, fast and draws the water out like advertised. Saves time in the dryer or spins to a damp dry feeling you can just hang them up for a short while . Hightly Recommended. Great price too and Amazon delivered it super fast and on time. To save on the motor, I would not recommend you put the full 22lbs in at a time.

I was so excited to start hand-washing our clothes with the help of an electric spinner to wring them out better than my hands are able to. Unfortunately, this clothes spinner didn't work out of the box. It beeps when I close the lid and I can smell electrical components (burning?) when it's turned on, but the barrel inside is lopsided (stuck to one side) and does not spin at all. When I reached out to Amazon's product support team, I was put on hold while they called the manufacturer (at almost 9pm EST... of course they were closed...). I was then told that they would call me tomorrow, after they are able to reach out to the manufacturer during normal business hours. "Out-of-the-box defective" should equate to a full refund. Period. I would love to try a new one (this one had signs of being a refurbished machine, with 2 broken pieces of plastic in the drum upon opening it and wear on the hinge side of the blue plastic lid) or different spinner, purchased through Amazon, but this one needs to go and I need one that works. I have never written a bad review for anything I've ever purchased on Amazon, but this is pretty ridiculous. I would not have spent over $160 on this if I had known that the manufacturer sells broken/refurbished items. This one in particular was "Sold by: Amazon.com Services LLC" and I would like a full replacement/refund, please. I will update this review/remove the bad rating if this is handled properly. EDIT: Amazon refunded me the full amount I paid for the dryer and told me to dispose of the broken unit however I saw fit (meaning I didn't have to return it). I greatly appreciate that they gave me a full refund, although I did have to call twice in order to get them to process it. Leaving my review at 1 star for the product/company because they shipped a faulty machine, but Amazon has regained my trust.

My Panda does a fine job of rendering wet clothes nearly dry- I put them into a drier afterward but it cuts down the time. I need it because my washer will no longer spin properly. I use it to wash and drain, then I use the Panda. I don't want to buy another washer because it will break again.

Estoy muy contenta con el producto. Es más de lo que esperaba. Gracias.

By choice, my husband and I wash all of our clothes by hand. The wringing is the hard part... With this product, our laundry days have become a breeze. We have a pretty humid house that's small and has poor ventilation, but hanging to dry after using the spin dryer is great. Clothes are dry within 24 hours at the most, and sometimes half that time or less if we have the heat up or the items are polyester, etc. We are amazed by how quickly the machine works to spin dry clothes. I highly recommend this product to others.

Excellent produit. Les gilets en lainage sortent pratiquement sec. Je le recommande sans hésitation!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Should have got one years ago!

The vendor did not address any of our concerns, product was leaking . Would not recommend!!
