Typical maximums are 1,200 to 1,600 rpm for a freestanding washing machine. The speed can usually be reduced per programme, and delicate programmes spin slowly or not at all. A higher maximum is useful if you tumble dry or have little drying space; it is not a measure of wash quality.
How dry the laundry actually comes out is what the spin-drying class measures.

Frequently asked questions
What does spin speed mean on a washing machine?
The maximum spin speed is how fast the drum turns in the final spin, in revolutions per minute. Faster spinning removes more water, so laundry comes out drier and dries faster afterwards.
