Probably. Spin dryers were very efficient. When I was a student the coin-op laundrettes had a separate spin dryer / centrifuge and we all know that 50p in the centrifuge saved £ in the dryer.

If you've got a kitchen or utility room with a floor drain (there's a lot of steamy splashing around) a twin-tub is a very economical and efficient way of processing laundry. Hot whites, warm coloureds, then socks, all in one washing water.

Modern washing machines are rubbish by comparison, but they are easier.
