New Washer Needed; Commercial Grade
I need to get a front loading washer for my home and have decided I
want a commercial quality unit. These are better made, have better warranties and will no doubt last longer for my needs. Can anyone recommend a brand? I know of Ipso. Do the usual suspects like Whirlpool, etc. make good commercial machines? Thanks very much. |

I can't really recommend a particular brand but I can tell you with some confidence to stay away from Maytag front loaders. They have had some real problems with their machines over the last several years. I would check Consumer Reports. |

The Maytag front loader problems were with consumer products, not commercial. Huge difference. |

By front load do you mean low water use Energy Star, any real commercial
unit is better our Maytags lasted 30+ and had commercial use. |

The commercial ones that have impressed me the most were made by Speen Queen. They were/are the standard of the industy for laundromats. However, they don't sell to individuals unless you can find a friendly distributer who will make an exception. I've had no problem buying Speed Queen commercial machines from the distributor. Drive up, pay with a credit card, take the machine with you. A lot easier than buying from Sears or other big box retailer where they usually don't stock anything. "http://www.pwslaundry.com/" is where I get mine from. They never asked me why I wanted them, and they don't care. I could have truthfully told them that they were for a rental property, at least the first time I bought some. |
