The spin dry function on a washing machine rotates the drum of the washing machine at high speeds. The drum is perforated so the clothes are spun hard against the drum while allowing the water to be flung out of the clothes. This removes the bulk of the water from the clothes, which makes rinsing efficient and drying quicker, but will not completely dry them. A high speed spin removes more water, but can crease clothing so it needs to be shaken out before hanging to dry.

A tumble dryer or tumble dry function in a combination washer/dryer gently rotates the clothes so that they tumble within the drum while blowing heated air through them. The tumbling allows the air to reach all parts of the clothing and minimises creasing. The clothes can be completely dried.
