Spin dryer

With my (standalone) spin dryer, I wanted to know when it finishes its cycle and water have spun out of the machine, will there be any water left in the machine, ie does the remaining water have to be manally emptied out, please?

    Does it have a pump or is it emptied by gravity? If it's emptied by gravity (spout near the bottom) then when water stops coming out it's done. If it has a pump (long drain hose) much the same really, although I suppose there could be some water left. Whichever, you don't have to empty it manually.

    With the manual ones I have used it just needed tilting towards the spout to ensure everything had run out, and then left open for a while for any more moisture to evaporate.

    I have a gravity spin dryer. When it's done I just tilt it a bit and some more water comes out. I'm sure there'll still be a bit of water left, but it doesn't seem to cause any issues.
