As a general rule, coin-op toploaders tend to be quite small in capacity. They tend to have the same capacity as much much older residential machines in US, most of our toploaders hold 1.5 or 2 times what those Maytags can now! Also, that's a hell of a rinse! Our toploaders generally to a spray rinse during the wash spin, one deep rinse, and sometimes a spray rinse after the deep rinse, but that's usually it! |

Inside were 3 Maytag toploaders. I was surprised to see these machines still active. |

And there were two Speed Queen dryers (installed back to back). |

Apparently they had trouble removing the coins. |

So my question: are these commercial toploaders still common in the UK? |

Check the tubs and agitators for nicks and other damage, that would certainly damage clothing. Also, make sure that all zippers are zipped up before being washed to reduce abrasion (ESPECIALLY metal zippers like on jeans). Load loosely to the top row of holes, don't press down. They can be great machines once you get the hang of working with them, Dave |
