I really, really don’t like Winter.
But you know what I detest more than Winter? Overflowing laundry baskets and not having any clean dry clothes to wear in the morning. Do you have any idea how many clothes 5 people go through every day?! I thought I knew, but I lost count at article 143975 for the day. Am I exaggerating? Maybe. But until you experience this yourself, you know nothing John Snow*!
(*Anyone else say that in her accent? John Snoooh)
Look, I’m not going to reinvent the wheel here, I reviewed the Spindel around this time last year – you should go check it out. I’m glad to report that we are doing slightly better in the bug department this year but I think this is a lot to do with the fact that we are exercising more. Which obviously means even more clothes added to the mountainous pile.
The good news is that while our washing grew, so did the ability of the Spindel. It can now hold 6.5kg of washing at a time!
This specialist laundry dryer removes the majority of moisture that is left behind after your washing machine’s spin cycle– leaving fabrics almost dry in just 3 minutes. This means that your laundry gets dry in no time, even if it’s hung inside overnight during winter.
In case you’re wondering if your electricity bill will suddenly sky rocket (when it’s working that is), don’t worry. The Spindel uses 100 times less electricity than tumble drying and it is safe for all fabrics, even those delicate hand washed winter woollies.
The Spindel is available in a 4.5kg and 6.5kg capacity and is very reasonably priced considering the substantial energy savings that it will bring about. Visit www.spindel.co.za for more information and a list of stockists.

I love that this amazing machine saves so much electricity with electricity prices so high at the moment this is the perfect machine to have in every household especially if there are a lot of kids and washing to go through. My friend has one and noticed all her baby clothes would stay in tact and the quality still great after every wash with my second baby on the way this would save so much in electricity bills, time and money and keep my clothes quality going for much longer.

this would be a life saver, and a excellent way of saving time, energy and money
I sooooo want one of these. Love the fact that they are economical.
I didn’t even know the Spindel existed! Thanks for sharing… now I know what I want for Christmas! Haha 😉
Oh.. and I love the fact how little electricity it uses! 🙂
After receiving our electricity bill this month, it’s probably wise that we cut down on our tumble drier usage. I love that it uses such a small amount of electricity to mostly dry your clothes.
I love that it is economical, that it is safe for all fabrics and that it is easy to move.
My mom would love this product.
The fact that it’s high on the list of electricity saving…
Pick me, pick me! Would LOVE to win the 6.5 Spindel 🙂 Holding thumbs x
*WIN* A 6.5kg SPINDEL worth R2199! http://t.co/m7PWMObqQZ
I love that the spindel is safe on all fabrics and uses less electricity! My husband will be thrilled to save on our monthly electricity bill
With two working men, two extremely busy young boys and me being the lucky one that gets to keep the castle clean in every sense I absolutely love that the Spindel will get rid of the excess water that remains after spinning in only 3 mins which will help me get the massive laundry loads dry, folded and packed away quicker. Living in a flat with absolutely no outside washing line this would really be a life saver and just maybe I can have some well deserved me time ♥
Anything that can ensure overnight dry washing for four people (including two littlies and an everyday cyclist) is the thing for me. I need this!
It preserves clothing with a shorter drying time. Holding thumbs for this ?
I love that clothes get dry in almost 3 minutes that is so quick!

This is awesome, my wife have been forcing me to buy a tumble dryer. What joy this Spindel will bring in our home, especially drying our baby’s clothes. Saving electricity is key nowadays.
It must be the fact that you no longer have to wait for three days fro your washing to dry in winter!
Honestly, the most amazing feature of the spindle is that it can dry my kids’ clothes in winter!! It’s such a struggle with their things, don’t want to hang it outside in the sun, but hanging them inside takes forever to dry, and sometimes when I have to wash school clothes I have to wash early morning, freezing hands to get it dry by the next morning.
Oh my, I can’t decide which is the bigger bonus: dry clothing in 3 mins or the sheer cost-effectiveness of it! I really hope to win. Our lives will be so much easier in the season I dread every year 😀
My favourite feature would be the small amount of electricity! I know in our fun day and age we hardly ever have electricity but when we do, I am very aware of cutting costs and saving as much electricity as I can 🙂 Jon Snoooooh! HAHAHA
My wife wants a tumble dryer. been forcing me, what joy this will bring us. Especially for the kids clothes. My year and a half baby dirties himself so much, we change him 3 times a day and his clothes run out. perfect for our home. It also saves electricity which is important with all the power cuts. I @boyas112 would LOVE THIS Amazing prize.

*WIN* A 6.5kg SPINDEL worth R2199!
The Spindel looks so amazing! Would love to try it out.
I love the fact that the Spindel uses 100 times (wow, really 100 times!???) LESS electricity than a conventional tumble dryer and is safe for all fabrics. Those are the two least attractive factors about dyring clothes in a regular dryer and the Spindel is a winner in my book for this reason 🙂 Great giveaway. X
My favourite feature? Erm, definitely that the Spindel uses 100 times less electricity than tumble drying! 🙂

AMAZING giveaway!!! My favourite feature of the Spindel is that it uses 100 times less electricity than a tumble drying and it is safe for all fabrics, even those delicate hand washed clothing, which is especially great in winter time 😉 Fingers crossed.
uses 100 times less electricity than tumble drying and it is safe for all fabrics….love this fact
I SOOOO badly want to win this. My favourite feature is that you can even use it with hand wash wool items
3 minutes per load! What a win for me as laundry is the bane of my life – 3 grown men with work, gym and casual clothes oh my word this SPINDEL sounds amazing.
Oh I have been dreaming of a spindel for years. Especially now with my baby. Winter has been a nightmare trying to get his clothes dry. Crossing fingers and toes 😉
Oh my word, how I long for a Spindel. Everyone I know that has one rants and raves about it and I wish it could be mine <3
My favourite part is how much it can take at a time. With twin boys at home, this would be perfect.
I love that it can take a large load and that if I forget to wash my kids school clothes by accident like I have in the past I can use that and they should be ready by morning without having to resort to the tumble dryer.
l love that it uses 100 times less electricity than tumble drying and it is safe for all fabrics.
Ooh, yes please! I’m so tired of having laundry “drying” on every surface in the house.
Besides removing most of the moisture from all our clothes, it also removes excess detergent, which is great especially for my baby boy’s clothes – his skin is protected!

Love this!
I love that it uses the same amount of electricity as a light bulb but still removes up to 80% of water in your load! We’re in a flat and I desperately need a Spindel!! Having to hang up washing in our spare room and then leaving the heater on almost all day to get it dry is crazy ridiculous!
My favourite feature is how little electricity it uses!!
*WIN* A 6.5kg SPINDEL worth R2199 with @CindyAlfino! http://t.co/8SgUxlvBAY http://t.co/zVzoUc6Cvn
The fact that it only takes 3 minutes per load is freaking mind-blowing!! If my washing took that quick – I would LOVE to do washing everyday of my life! I’d even offer to do my neighbours washing as well! LOL (and I mean, come on, who loves doing washing?!)
That it uses less electricity which is a huge issue these days
I love the fact that you can basically put anything in the Spindel including delicate items. Also great that it is travel size.
Love that the spindel holds 6.5kg of washing and is so low on electric consumption
The Spindel uses 100 times less electricity than tumble drying and it is safe for all fabrics
My fav would be the fact that it takes 3 minutes to be almost dry, with my girls (you would understand this) dressing up like they are going to a fashion show 5 times a day my laundry takes ages to dry and using my tumble dryer day and night is not really cost effective.

I love love that it is so energy efficient! Little savings goes a long way. And with 2 busy kids, a husband and a tenant who constantly needs clean laundry the piles don’t end, especially in winter!

Can’t decide on one single favourite feature. Love that it dries clothing to almost dry and is cost efficient. And with a 4 year old boy that loves nothing more than to run and play in puddles and mud in our backyard and an 11 month old boy who can get food stuck in his belly button (somehow going through his vest – the one with the poppers) I think I need to invest in one of these devices. Thank you for sharing!
The feature that removes the majority of moisture that is left behind after the washing machine’s spin cycle– leaving fabrics almost dry in just 3 minutes. This means that your laundry gets dry in no time # best ever

This will really save me time

Would love to win one!
I would SO SO SO love to win this. With two small children (one potty training) I’m forever running my tumble dryer which I hate using. my favourite feature is the speed at which is works. I would revolutionise my life!!
I’ve just received our July water and lights bill…power saving sounds pretty damn awesome right now!
It’s on my to buy list, when I actually manage my budget 0_o Given my budgeting issues, my favourite feature is the electricity saving.
I love that its energy efficient and has gotten bigger (6.5kgs) – been on my want list for the longest time. (fingers crossed)
Hugest, hugest spindel fan (hugest!) All that water out! Quick drying. I’m in love!
the saving on electricity is my fav feature for sure
As a family of 5 (3 kids under the age of 6), I totally feel you on the Mount Everest of laundry DAILY, how do little people wear generate much? I Love that it removes 80% of moisture, so the clothes don’t get damaged in the process. The saving on electricity is a HUGE bonus.

This will be a awesome prize for me because of my busy lifestyle working and studing, will save me so much time as the spindle dries clothes in a jiffy.
For some reason I could not log in with facebook. I love the fact that this is energy efficient, high power consumption is what has always put me off getting a tumble drier. Those days when I have forgotten to dry an item of school clothes are a nightmare so the 3 min duration would be a life saver
I love the fact that it has low electricity usage AND most of all, the fact that I will be able to dry my 10 million loads of washing successfully and not walk around in damp clothes anymore. lol
Definitely has to be its cost effectiveness, saving electricity is high on my list
Pick me Pick me Pick me… A much desired gadget.
For me…right now the main feature I love is that it will actually dry all of our clothes. With a washer with a spin that’s more of a wash no spin…….drying will no longer become a heating game…a waiting game…a “please let it not rain tomorrow” game.The fact that its 6.5kg…can I get a whoop whoop!! Economical and gentle on baby’s stuff…gotta love it!!
I love the fact that my clothes will dry faster – now that I have at last found a job, my time is very limited! 🙂
