The last time I was this excited about something was when we had a grey water system installed in my previous house a few years ago. Unfortunately our current house doesn't support a grey water system (plus we don't have very much garden at all). Also, the closest I am going to get to Christian Grey is a Grey water system. Sigh.
This time it is something that is as exciting, and something I can share with other people. I was in the market for a something like this (although I didn't know it existed before) so when the PR company contacted me and asked me to review it, I was like "yes please"
Just as an aside: Like most bloggers, I get requests on an almost daily basis to review products on my blog. I almost never say yes because imagine how boring that would be for you! Plus I don't have the time to write up reviews. (Even though the free gifts would be cool). I only do reviews for people I know and if it is something I am interested in and I think you would benefit from.
On that note, Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to The Spindel: Sexier and more arousing than 50 Shades of Grey and much less embarrassing to admit you own.
This product is AWESOME! I am beyond excited about it, seriously. And so is Rose. We both stare at it whenever we use it which is EVERY SINGLE DAY. My husband just laughs at me when I tell him for the 10th time how amazing this thing is.
Ok, so what is it...
In layman's terms, it is a thing (machine) that takes the water out of your just washed clothes by spinning the clothes around really fast in the machine. Much faster than your washing machine. It removes the water by centrifugal force, not by heating. There is no heating element which means you can use it to remove water from any fabric, even your delicate bits and bobs.
I know you overseas folk dry your stuff in dryers, but here in South Africa we dry our clothes outside (smells so much better and is much cheaper / more eco friendly). The problem is in Cape Town where I live, the winters are cold and wet. You can't hand the washing outside and so we hang it in the garage and on the veranda. It takes forever to dry. We leave it there for two days and then we put it in the dryer to dry the last bit. It's a pain and it takes forever. And we do a LOT of washing. I have a ginormous washing machine and we do at least one wash a day. There are six of us living in this house.
The washing machine obviously spins the clothes at the end of the cycle, but I had no idea how much water was still left in the clothes until I used the Spindel. That's the best part - watching this little machine go and seeing the water come pouring out into the plastic dish we put under the spout. Seriously, Rose and I stand there and stare at it. We have very sad lives.
Because the Spindel is small and my washing machine is huge, I have to split load into three. But it only takes three minutes per spin. And you can put anything in it - sheets, towels, clothes, jerseys - anything. The washing now takes super quick to dry because it is almost dry when you take it out the Spindel.
The bonus is that it is very green - for the environment (useless less than a light bulb burning for 15 mins) and very green for your pocket. Electricity is getting so damn expensive here in SA.
God, I love this product. It is just so damn clever!! I am going to buy a few as gifts too.
As a special to my blog readers, Spindel in association with TakeAlot.com is offering R100 discount for the first 20 purchasers. Plus they will include free delivery!! Click on this link to purchase this very sexy little thing called the Spindel: http://www.takealot.com/home-kitchen/ironing-and-pressing-1772/spindel-laundry-dryer-4-5kg-capacity,12818891
Buy it. Hopefully it will excite you as much as it excites me.
You can see the product info below and also visit their website for more info (http://www.spindel.co.za/), but here are some of my pics too.
See the water coming out spout! (Imagine Rose and I staring at this from behind the camera)
This was a medium sized wash! Look how much water came out a medium size wash that had been spun in the washing machine already!!
This is how compact the Spindel is. And how MFing huge my washing machine is.
What is Spindel?
Spindel is a specialist laundry spin dryer that uses centrifugal force instead of heat to quickly remove excess moisture from laundry. It also extracts residual detergent and mineral deposits from the fabric, so laundry dries cleaner and feels better too! Spindel can be used with machine or hand-washed laundry and is safe for all fabrics.
SPIN DRYING POWER
- Removes up to 80% of moisture from laundry in just 3 minutes
HEAT FREE DRYING
- Highly energy efficient
- Reduced damage to fabrics
Why use Spindel?
FAST DRYING
- Air dry laundry in a fraction of the time
- Certain fabrics can be ironed immediately
SAVE ELECTRICITY
- Uses up to 99% less electricity than tumble drying
- Lower impact on the environment
PROTECT FABRICS
- Removes detergent residue that can damage fabrics,
fade colours and cause skin allergies - Reduced sun and heat damage
How does it work?
Simply load the wet laundry, turn the switch on and watch the water pour through the spout. The stainless steel inner drum accelerates up to 2 800 revolutions per minute, extracting the majority of the residual moisture without damaging even the most delicate fabrics.
After the 3 minute cycle is complete you can:

Living in the UK now - i hear your plea about using less tumble dryer power - but how cool is this? I have a tumble dryer that 'collects' the water it's getting out of the clothes, (called a condenser dryer), a little light goes on - and voila - I can remove the water container - and then use it on my potplants etc. Also - we put the clothes horses next to the radiators in the winter - and man, what an invention (central heating!) dries in no time. Back in SA I used to do the same as you - except the other way around - 15 mins in the dryer and then hang out and *pray* that they dry before they get that damp smell.

Must look to see if a similar product is available in the US -- years ago (eons really) when I was in college, our laundromat had a centrifuge; cut our cost of drying in half.

This Spindle looks amazing. I live in Johannesburg and as you know we get our rain in Summer but since Johannesburg has become a man made rain forest, we have days and days of rain.

I'm in the USA here, but have lusted after something like this ever since I met its cousin in Southeast Asia. Brilliant invention. Glad you're enjoying it.

I don't know of anyone who owns one personally in the US, but this seems similar to the thing that my husband swears are at some public pools and community centers, where people can put their swimsuits in to spin dry before packing things up to go home and after putting on their dry clothes.
Posted by: katie s. | 23 August 2012 at 01:35 AM
Yes, these exist at swimming pools in the US, and I want one for my house! Any chance of finding this in the US for home use? If not, Spindle could you help us out? My friend and I swim at a local pool and spin our suits and are constantly talking about how much we want one for home!

In the US, try searching for "Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin Dryer" by The Laundry Alternative.

I live in Cape Town and it's quite hard to get washing dried if it can't go into a tumble dryer. I saw a Spindel being demonstrated at a home expo on Thursday and was so impressed that I bought one. Gave it a whirl today - it's fantastic. Possibly the best home appliance I have even bought!
Posted by: Janine | 25 August 2012 at 05:57 PM
Interesting. I agree, in CT, it's hard to get your washing dried outside! It's like playing "chicken" with the rain clouds every day.

The Spindel would be a good choice for the homemakers who usually dry the clothes by line drying process. It makes the work fast and efficient. This would be useful to dry the clothes which takes lot of time to dry normally!
Posted by: Shafeez | 07 December 2012 at 11:38 AM
Stupid question, does the the Spindel stop after the 3 min cycle or does one have to time it & turn the switch back when the 3 min is up?
