Having a 1400 spin washer I didn't think this would make that much difference. However I get a further 300-400ml water out of a load so speeds up drying time. It's also quicker and more efficient than my washing machine spin cycle when I hand wash.
Good machine does the job very well and much quieter than the one it's replaced, just one thing though, I think they could've put a little more thought into the design of the lid, there isn't really anything to put your fingers under to pull it up. Just a small lip on the hollow of the lid would have been sufficient, may cause some difficulty for people with a dexterity problem.
Already bought the white one for myself (see my other review). Bought this stainless steel one for my parents. My mum loves it, she already had a small one but couldn't find one with a larger capacity in the UK. I have bought several items from Hifi Tower before so I was happy to recommend them. Mum was particularly impressed by how quiet it was remarking on this a few times. One thing that may be of interest with the stainless steel model is the see-through lid for those who like to see what is going on inside - a bit of a novelty. See my other review on the white model for more information and further opinions etc.
In conclusion, from my mother who has had spin dryers for years, this one's a good'un.
It is what I paid for,useful, worth the money. So far so good in fact so far it is the best spinner we bought. The only test remain is durablity. No complain so far
