As one of the commentors on youtube mentioned they have been around in Europe for 80 years.

Our also third hand washingmachine in the dorm was also able to spindry, at 600rpm or so, so this separate spindryer was a big help.

Nowadays washingmachines do a good job of spindrying themselves, ours at 1400rpm. We then dry the clothing on a line (no dryer).
