My ultra fancy front loader (that I got for about 40% reg. price) has a spin selector for every cycle. In addition, it also has a "spin only" cycle. So anything that doesn't feel dry enough gets another round of spinning.
I'm guessing your washer isn't large enough to handle the weight so it can't spin properly. You might investigate taking it to a laundromat and using their biggest washer to clean it.
