They didn't give a model or age. One owner thinks it's a 30# the other thought it was a 25#. |

Those commercial washer/extractors have pretty unimpressive spin speeds and G-forces, judging from the specs on SQ's web site. Maybe they're paired with very powerful dryers in commercial use. |

Washer/Extractor pictured are the same units at local laundromats. Simple and basic no frills units designed to do the job quickly, and withstand abuse. As other poster stated, these units are gravity drain and require bolting into six inches of concrete. And while they do not mess about when it comes to spinning, the results are pretty poor when compared to TOL or even MOL domestic front loaders. Have done loads of thick and thirsty towels in the 50lb unit at local laundromat, and they emerged after the rather long final spin still rather wet. Takes almost an hour in those very hot laundromat dryers to get the darn towels even close to damp dry. And considering how much heat those dryers put out, that is saying something. Did the same towels at home in either the Miele or Hoover TT, and not only did towels emerge dryer after the final spin, but took about 20mins to reach toasty dry stage in the same large laundromat dryers. Just my two pence, do with it what you will. L. |
