Spin-drying efficiency class

What this term means when it appears on an appliance specification or energy label.

In short

The spin-drying efficiency class, A (best) to G, rates how much water is left in the laundry after the final spin of the eco 40-60 programme, measured as remaining moisture content.

Class A means the least residual water. The class is declared under the energy labelling regulation and appears on the energy label of washing machines. It depends on spin speed, drum design and how the machine balances the load, so two machines with the same maximum rpm can have different classes.
