English ElectricGravity Drain Spin Dryer 28009EEWP 5.2kg A+++

The English Electric Gravity Drain Spin Dryer 28009EEWP 5.2kg, is a fairly compact spin dryer. I would have preferred something a little smaller. But I needed a machine with enough capacity for double bed sheets and duvet cover, and this seems to be as small as you can go for a motorhome. But now that it has arrived, it has a killer feature, that makes it absolutely perfect for a caravan or motorhome. And oddly, it’s not something highlighted in the advertising. The advertising mentions that the water bucket stores inside the spin dryer drum, which is already handy. But it is much cleverer than that. The water bucket is shaped in such a way, that it drops into the top of the spin dryer, with the slimmer bottom section inside the top of the spin drum, and the wider top section resting on the body of the machine. You then close the lid and turn the safety lock, and the spin dryer is now ready for transport, with the spin drum safely ‘parked’. It’s genius. As for performance, the dryer is reasonably quiet, and the spin speed is high enough, that even jeans come out just hand damp. Which means the (compact) tumble dryer has them back in the wardrobe in very little time. I also like the fact that the body of the machine is plastic. I remember that my grandparents had a similar, larger spin dryer in their kitchen, and it was always rusting around the top. But times move on, and this machine should stay looking as new. The plastics body is pure white, and seems to be made of a high quality plastic. It also means that plastic body shaves a few more grams from the weight. The dryer has a couple of large recessed handles just under the top, and they make it very easy to carry the machine about. I did my research before settling on this model. All the review websites I visited had this machine in the top three recommended. Couple that with the fact that the motor is brushless, there is a two year parts and labour warranty, which you can pay to extend if you want, and English Electric are a UK (Yorkshire) company, and I am very happy with my purchase. Recommended. Especially if you are looking for a spin dryer for your caravan or motorhome.

I can’t recommend this machine highly enough.. brilliant for all your handwashing of jumpers and saves money by not having to use the rinse and spin cycle on washing machine. A couple of minutes and items more or less dry. Doesn’t move around floor and collects water in neat container 👌

This machine replaces its 30 year old predecessor of same make and model. (Which still works, incidentally). Dont know about you but I usually find old appliances far more efficient than those available today. However in this case I have to say that English Electric have fulfilled their duty and produced a much improved spin dryer. The machine is quiet, stable in use and easy to move around. I am disabled so manoeverability is important to me. I do a lot of hand washing in between full washing loads in the main washing machine so instead of using an hours worth of electricity, I use under 2 minutes ( most often around 30 seconds) which spins the items far more efficiently than my main washer. The front gravity drain is by far an improvement on the old drainage pipe system and the fact that the bucket stores within the machine is a bonus. The safety mat (for securing items in drum during spinning) is included so no need to buy separately. The drum capacity is not huge but sufficient for bed covers, some full length curtains (depending on material) several towels or items of clothing and fleece blankets. And at a 30 second spin it is no hassle to divide a load. I would say that if your items go into the machine particularly wet (especially things like towels), keep an eye on the water flowing into the bucket. You may have to halt the spin to empty the bucket before finishing the spin. Or use a bigger bowl under the drain. I have no complaint about this as it shows the efficiency of how much water is being extracted from the load. I wanted the black version but these were out of stock everywhere so opted for the white but the fact that the machine exceeded my expectations cancels out this minor disappointment. If I had to mention something forgotten in the new design it would have to be cord storage. There is some provision but its not perfect. But this is a minor nit pick. Overall, if you want an efficient, energy and money saving machine then dont hesitate choosing this one. Delivery by the way was fast.

Very good item. It extracts a lot of water from the washing, much more than an automatic washing machine. So, my washing dries overnight indoors. The bowl provided to collect water is not always large enough to contain the extracted water, but I use a larger one I have, just to be on the safe side. It does not take too much space and it is easy to move it. Good cable length..
