Top 10 Uses For Your Old Tumbler*
You're ready to upgrade your laundry and roll in a new, fast-drying UniMac model, but what the heck do you do with that old, inefficient tumbler. Well, as strong supporters of green initiatives, UniMac says don't just throw it away … repurpose that perforated relic. Get creative and think outside the cylinder, err, box.
To get you on your way, UniMac put its repurposing research team on the Tumbler Re-Use Project and here’s what this Dryer Dream Team, these Spin Masters, this Association of Rotation Innovation came up with. Check back often as the team adds its newest research info and videos to the list.

No. 10 - The Coolest Cooler on the Block!
The Dryer Dream Team certainly had fun with this one. Drag that bad boy to your backyard (we recommend using a lift truck), fill it with 120 pounds of ice and 5+ cases of your beverage of choice and abraca-dryer-dabra you've got the coolest cooler on the block. Best of all, with the cylinder perforations, water drains automatically as the ice melts...NO clean up! Don't feel like digging to the bottom for the last can of Rapid Jetspray Rinse Pale Ale? Just hit "start" and your choice rotates to the top. Beautiful. Check out the video and see what our buddy Einar has to say about his new beverage chilla.

No. 9 - Hottest Fire Pit in the Neighborhood.
In the short time it takes for your new UniMac dryer to complete a cycle, you could be enjoying s'mores in your old unit. Simply spring your tool kit on that drying beast and remove the basket. Then, just pop it in the ground and dress it up with landscaping stones. Load in the lumber (dried wood will make the next step much less aggravating) and light. Bring on the marshmallows!
The video shows Einar likes his marshmallows...shall we say, well done.

No. 8 - Biggest Minnow Bucket on the Lake.
When you pop that basket out (with the aid of a few tools and heavy lifting) and roll it down to the water, other anglers on the lake will know you mean business. While the team estimates the capacity of this minnow bucket at roughly 213, 811, 523 of our tiny gilled friends, Einar recommends a more modest total of 100 or so to keep their spirits high...happy minnows attract the big lunkers.

No. 7 - Most Exciting Game in Town.
What could be more exciting than a rousing game of BINGO? OK, wait don't answer that. Now what if those numbered balls were being spun in a re-purposed 75-pound dryer? The sound may not be music to your ears, but the Dryer Dream Team believes the excitement factor definitely gets ramped up with the UNIMAC version of the game.
Notes from Einar: To liven up the crowd (or let them know its time to go), open the door while the balls are tumbling and let it rain!
Do not attempt to pull out a numbered ball until the ride has come to a complete stop.

No. 6 - Super Salad Tosser.
We're halfway to No. 1, and stardom has apparently gotten to Einar, as he has adopted an alter-ego. Watch out, he's got infomercial selling on his mind and the idea that we could all eat a little healthier. This kid forms a compelling argument that making salad the old-fashioned way just won't "cut it" when your kitchen has this handy dandy tool

No. 5 - A Fun and Favre-tastic Carnival Game.
Good ol No. 4 was a heck of a laundry slinger in its day, but this on-again-off-again act has grown tiresome. Drag that inefficient anchor out of the laundry and onto the carnie midway. All you need are a few footballs and youre ready to raise money, challenging folks to test their accuracy at firing balls into its bread basket. Who knows, you might just discover the next Brett Favre!
