Anything VMW based for commercial use. Completely moronic of Whirlpool to discontinue the direct drives, the VMW machines have been nothing but trouble since Whirlpool introduced them and aren’t easily to work on since the machine has to be moved away from the wall and laid down to work on which is what you had to do to the older belt drives when you had to replace a belt or pump or do any other work to it. The transmissions in the VMW machines aren’t known for holding up, a few people on here have deal with the transmission failing on there and had to go through quite a debacle to get it fixed.

The worst machine I’ve ever used was
A speed queen front loader, not a single spin or anything, thankfully they had the extractor right next to the machine, so the attendant transferred all of the laundry into the extractor, and it all did that as a cold wash, not going to that place again because the laundry didn’t really come out clean and the laundry came sopping wet out of the speed queen washing machine, normally I’ve used them and they’ve been alright but that place I’m better off going and using a tub to wash it

commercial washers and dryers It can be in a dorm as well. By the way, these were direct drive Maytags. It never filled the tub all the way to the top. They only filled 2/3 ways full. There were no spray rinses whatsoever. | ||

HAHA. OH boy. Mine will be an unpopular opinion.
The worst commercial machines I’ve used are actually Speed Queens. Now, it could partly be due to the management company’s neglect. But the SQ machines in my old apt complex in college were ALWAYS broken. I’ve returned to my clothes sitting in a half tub of soapy water numerous times. I’ve had CoinMach refund me a dozen times to the pin they just stopped. And they still owe me $4 from 2005! The dryers less so, but I had a few broken dryers also. Mostly they just baked the crap out of my clothes to where they sometimes smelled like dark toast. The best machines I used were at a laundromat in town where I eventually went. They were a mix of DC and Neptune Maytags. Yup. You heard me. Neptunes. They were never broken. | ||
