I used to own a manual spinner and it just took to long. Then one day i drove by the curb and saw one of those portable washing machines. I snagged it and took out the agitator. throughly washed every nook and cranny with a pressure washer and now use that. I made a basket that i harvest in that fits exactly the size of the washer. I program it to spin and in 3-4 minutes it's done. I can do quite a bit, couldn't give you an exact number. Because the machine balances itself it works alot better than making one at home. When this one breaks i will probably use a larger capacity machine. But i expect this one will be around for a while.

I took off the safety mechanisms and was also thinking about adding a 360 degree mister to insert in the middle of the column to eliminate any other dirt i might have missed.
