Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great coin drop washer and easy to operate

megaray 6/29/2026

I purchased this commercial coin-drop top-load washer for my rental property, and I've been very happy with it. The washer has been running reliably and performs exactly as expected. One of the biggest advantages is the adjustable coin-drop mechanism, which gives me the flexibility to change the price per load whenever needed. The washing performance has been excellent. The rollover action does a great job of moving the clothes through the water, resulting in a thorough and even clean. Even heavily used everyday laundry comes out fresh and clean after a normal wash cycle. The extraction (spin) cycle is also very effective. Clothes come out with much less water than my previous washer, which helps reduce drying time and saves energy. Despite the powerful spin, the washer runs smoothly and quietly with very little vibration. The machine feels solid and well-built, making it a great fit for a rental property or shared laundry room. Installation was straightforward, and it has been dependable with no issues so far. Overall, this is a high-quality commercial washer with excellent cleaning performance, strong extraction, smooth rollover action, and a flexible coin-drop system. It's quiet, reliable, and built to handle frequent use. I would definitely recommend it to other landlords or anyone looking for a durable, commercial-grade coin-operated washer.
