 I shot this the beginning of October while I was in Tucson, AZ visiting Ross (Westyslantfront), Nate (roto204) and Roger (rogera608s). I also have one of these little gems, but mine isn't up and running yet. Soon! (New Years Resolution!) I also shot video of Rogers Blackstone washer which I should have up on Youtube in the next few days. I hope you enjoy! Kevin | ||

Martin is sooo right! Multiple machines make for the best laundry solution! Big and small, top and front loaders all have their place and usual loads. | ||

Commercial Laundromats
When I was a kid, there were quite a few wash, dry, fold places in our city called Snow White Westinghouse Laundromats. The ladies in their white uniforms would load the wash into a long row of the same machines as the video (less the coin boxes), then to the extractor and then into big gas dryers, I believe the dryer name was Cissal? Before long, self serve laundromats like the Maytag Highlander Centers and Norge Villages took over and the Snow White's all were closed, since it was 20-25 cents per load at the self serve. Since most people now have in-home laundry, there are very few self serves left around here but those that are left all have the big capacity machines that many people take their big,oversized loads that wont fit in a regular home machine.
