Question 1

For anyone that has had this more than a year... How long do these last?

Accepted Answer

I've had mine for 2 years.  I use it every day for second spin from full size washing machine.   A full size load equals 3 loads for the spinner.  I do a average of 2 full size loads of laundry a day, which equals 6 spin dryer loads.   I do "double" spins (10 minute) on each spin dryer load.  6 x 2= 12.  The spin washer is used 12 times a day here 4,380 spins each year.  So I'm up to 8,700 and this number doesn't include all the times the kids use it after the pool.  I beat on it, the kids defininately beat on it (even taking it outside for the towels etc ... it gets loaded wrong and banged up, it gets knocked over banged up, etc etc.  It still works great.  One of the top purchase I've made.  Just in the laundry, after the spin dryer the regular dryer only has to go for 40 minutes on "delicate" mode i.e., the very low heat mode.  The Average water pulled out of the X Large washing load is over 1/2 a gallon of water and that's from a high efficient washing machine.  From my old non efficient model I would get a little over 3/4 gallon.  Look up how much emerge it takes to steam off 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of water.  Its significant.  Plus all the extra left in soap it pulls on and with the low heat there is less heat damage to the clothes.  It is an awesome little machine.  My only modification I would make is to have an adjustable timer from 5 minute to 15.   Other that thank.  Its perfect.

Question 2

What is the depth and diameter of the internal metal cylinder that spins?

Accepted Answer

The depth is 13 inches and diameter is 9.5 inches.  It is a great little machine.
Hope this helps.

Question 3

why get this unit instead of a small combination washer-dryer unit?

Accepted Answer

my main reason to buy was because of the bigger load capacity than washer dryer combo units.  this is about TWICE  the capacity.  so often times you just spin one load rather than 2 or 3 with smaller combo units. works good but customer service with panda is nonexistent. i had an issue with mine and phone number doesnt work and they never returned my email to them.  for that reason i dont reccomend this.

Question 4

How big in inches is the inside of the dryer, ie,  the part that spins?

Accepted Answer
