Go for the name you know!
the ACME Spinner
the spin-dryer with 80 years of washday experience behind it 
Gets your wash from dripping-wet to damp-dry in 3 to 4 minutes-and gets it even cleaner! 
You've heard how the spin-dryer damp-dries your wash in minutes- banishing the clothes-line from your life forever! But did you know that the Acme Spinner also gets your wash cleaner! ---
---- Yes, cleaner - with less washing and rinsing 
Washing spin-dried by Acme is cleaner because hidden dirt and scum are forced out with the water. For this reason,' less washing and rinsing is needed. So, you see, not only does the Acme Spinner dry your wash, not only does it give you a cleaner wash-it actually saves you time and effort in the washing itself. And less washing and rinsing means that clothes last longer.

ACME MAKE IT SO EASY FOR YOU 
Acme have been making washday equipment for 80 years-they know what a woman wants. That's why the Spinner is so easy to use. It's as simple as this. 
1 The Acme Spinner fits snugly against your sink so that your wash goes straight from the water into the Spinner. A recessed top prevents water from spilling as you put the wet clothes in. 
2 With your washing in the Spinner you simply close the special safety lid which automatically starts the electric motor. 
3 Four minutes later you lift up the lid-the motor automatically stops and there's your wash, beautifully clean and damp-dry. With everything finished, the Spinner goes neatly away into a comer or under the sink. 
* A few more things you'll want to know *

Yes, it damp-dries your heaviest wash, blankets included. Yes there’s an Acme guarantee. Yes, the spinner will fit into your kitchen -it's only 271/2” high. Colours?
