What brand washers do laundromats use predominantly is Speed Queen, Maytag Commercial, Whirlpool Commercial, Huebsch, and UniMac, with Speed Queen being most popular for top-load and front-load commercial washers. Speed Queen has about 40 percent of US laundromat market with models like SCN060 and SCN070 front-load and TC5DC top-load, known for 20 to 25-year lifespans, all-metal construction, and 7-year warranty, made in Ripon, Wisconsin. Maytag Commercial like MAT20CS and MVWP586GW is second most popular, used in many apartment laundry rooms and small laundromats, lasting 15 to 20 years with service rates around 6 to 9 percent and costing less at 1,000 to 1,400 dollars. Whirlpool Commercial like CAE2795FQ is also common and shares parts with Maytag. Huebsch is actually made by same parent company Alliance Laundry as Speed Queen with similar commercial-grade quality and is popular in laundromats. UniMac and Dexter are used for large industrial and on-premise laundries like hotels and hospitals with 30 to 80-pound capacity. Laundromats choose commercial washers because they are designed for 10 to 15 cycles per day, have coin or card readers, fast wash times of 25 to 35 minutes, and heavy-duty motors and transmissions that last 15 to 25 years versus residential washers that last 10 to 12 years and are not warrantied for commercial use.
