Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I feel like I am somewhat of an expert on Spin dryers, as I've had 4 of them. I use them in my business several times a day. 3 were from the Laundry Alternative. The earliest model broke down after about a year, the second model was pretty good and broke down after about 3 years when the bottom was literally rotting out from rust (I was OK with this as I felt I got plenty of use out of it). The third one was their latest, and it was a disaster, the quality was horrible and it didn't last a week. So, as I was desperate, and about ready to lose my mind for lack of a spin dryer which my work flow depends on, I ordered this one. HEAVEN. This is seriously the best spin dryer I have ever used. It is so well made and durable. You have to WORK to make it out of balance. I just throw the fiber I'm drying in there and only about 1 out of 10 times is it out of balance, compared to the LA one (which I was happy with at the time). It does not vibrate excessively and is quiet for a spin dryer. And, the best thing is - it has a brake. So, when you turn it off, the spinning stops immediately. Someone pointed it out that maybe this will reduce the lifespan of the dryer. I'm impatient and used to stick my hand in the other one to get it to stop (carefully, with a towel on my fingers, so I didn't rip my hand off), so if this reduces the lifespan of this dryer, so be it, better than losing a hand. My only criticism would be that it seems like the outside finish is rusting a little from water droplets. If I cared, I could be more careful about letting the items drip dry or wipe the outside down after a spin. That might be something you should watch for if you get this dryer. I have only had it for about a month now, but I've probably spun at least 30-40 loads in it. If you are in the market for a spin dryer, spend the extra money and get this one. It's WELL worth it. EDITED OCT 31 2019 - I have to finally retire my spin dryer, but I'm insanely happy with the product. It finally rusted through the bottom, although it still works, I'm a little worried about water getting in the electronics. I used this thing probably 5-10 times a day 5 days a week. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. Ordering another one.
