Yeppers, when the POS did work it spun up to probably somewhere near the 60,000 RPM. It was Direct Drive, very quite- you could hear the air moving in the drum/clothes. I think the real design plan was for it to spin so fast it would literally sling the dirt and shit right out of the clothing with centrifugal force. The water saver function.
The balance system for SPIN is little bladders around the drum that get filled with water to counter-balance as needed.
Over engineering at its finest.
There was enough room that I could have put the Dogs in to wash one at a time. (With the SPIN turned OFF so their eyes wouldn't bug out.)
