Review on 🐼 Panda Stainless Steel Portable Spin Dryer, 22lb Capacity, PANSP22 - Efficient Water Extractor for Swimsuits and Laundry by Jason Yancy

Four stars because it was the first to come to DOA. I used the free returns feature, identical replacement, the old one was picked up the next business day and the new one arrived two days later. The first block squeaked when turned on, but did not spin. The second works great. My previous dryer was Nina Soft. It worked fine for 3 years and then stopped. I chose Panda because it has faster turning speed. Note. First I look at spin dryers and at the end I compare Nina Soft and Panda. Both spin dryers have proven to be very useful machines. They release so much water that laundry dries in a conventional dryer in 10 minutes. Clothes dry easily in an hour indoors, 10-20 minutes outdoors. Together with a bucket and a breathable mobile washing machine, you can wash clothes in the kitchen or bathroom very quickly and make things much cleaner than a washing machine. I soak the bucket overnight, use a deaerator (looks like a plunger but is a hard plastic stirrer) to keep the clothes in the bucket for 5 minutes, then wring out the soapy water, fill the bucket with fresh water and work on it Dress. leave on for a few minutes, then squeeze out the rinse water for 5 minutes and hang dry or dry in a conventional dryer for a few minutes. Saves money, energy, water and you get cleaner clothes. You can easily use homemade detergents like washing soda and Fels Naptha and there will be NO soap or detergent on your clothes after rinsing. Also, the whole process is much gentler on your clothes, not as much lint and heat damage as a standard wash. I also have a natural bristle shaving brush and a bath brush and I rotate them too. They last longer and never go moldy. Panda vs NinaSoft.Panda is more expensive. It has a drum and a stainless steel exterior. Ninasoft has a plastic body and I believe it has a plastic drum. panda louder. If I wash up early in the morning, there's a small chance that the next apartment will be rumbling. NinaSoft is much quieter. Panda brings more water at the expense of a faster spin speed (which probably also makes more noise), but NinaSoft does a good job of draining the water too. Panda has a 5 minute on timer. it is EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. If you forget NinaSoft, it will run for hours with unknown episodes. It can wear out faster, there is a possibility of fire, but I don't know. I just don't like the idea of a machine running nonstop for hours on end on a spinning drum. Panda can't do that. It turns off after 5 minutes no matter what. Nice function! Panda is definitely easier to load and balance. I find it accelerates more slowly, allowing the water (which makes up most of the weight in the drum) to drain away before going to a higher speed. This means that a slightly unbalanced load will appear as "self-balancing". However, if you unbalance the load too much, the car will go back and forth everywhere and not be able to accelerate. It's better to keep things even there. Nina Soft had a VERY comfortable grip on top. No luck with Panda. You have to bend down and wrap your arms around it to pick it up and move it, and it's heavier than the Nina Soft. Conclusion: both work. Both work fine. Panda has a 5 minute shutdown and runs out of water a little more. Ninasoft is cheaper and has a great pen. Both are very well suited for use in an unplugged apartment, or if you live in a tiny house or on a boat. Update 4/7/2018: Still works great. I'm liking the faster speed more and more and the 5 minute limit is just awesome. I have a washer and dryer, which are very handy, but I use them all the time. Some items, like wool vests and fleece sweaters, are dry enough to wear. I made a full size bath towel and the results were amazing. Towels, underwear, socks, anything that shouldn't look ironed never goes in the dryer. I have a shelf indoors and everything dries in a few hours, even on a rainy day. Towels and socks can be hung overnight to dry completely. Nobody makes bigger versions, which is a shame.
