The Business Benefits of Commercial-Grade Machines
Whether you own or manage a small apartment building, fitness center, salon or senior living facility, Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry equipment offers quality, convenience and reliability. These washers and dryers are simple for staff or residents to operate and sturdy enough to stand up to daily use.
For owners and managers of small apartment buildings, campgrounds, marinas and vacation rental properties, coin-operated commercial washers and coin-operated commercial dryers can offer an attractive amenity that pays for itself.
For businesses like senior living centers, salons and fitness centers, doing laundry in house will save you the cost of contracting with an outside laundry service and ensure a steady supply of linens without the need to wait for deliveries. Commercial-grade machines can stand up to heavy daily use in environments like these. They can also be programmed with custom cycles to meet your business’s particular laundry needs.
No matter your type of business, if you’re doing multiple loads, tackling tough loads or want to bring in a little extra income, investing in commercial-grade laundry equipment makes good business sense.
Choosing the Right Configuration
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry has an array of product configurations to meet your needs, all offered in both coin-operated and non-coin configurations.
If you need quick turnover, top-load washers tend to have shorter wash cycles than front-load machines. A commercial-grade top-load washer will also have a lower upfront cost than a front-load machine.
If linen quality is important to your business, the Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry High-Efficiency Front-Load Washer is ENERGY STAR® certified to help reduce energy and water costs.
If space is a concern, Whirlpool® offers a commercial stacked washer/dryer combination that includes both a washer and dryer in the same footprint.
Depending on your drying capacity needs, Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry has 7.4-cubic foot top-load dryers and 6.7-cubic foot front-load dryers. Both styles are available in both electric and gas-powered models.
But if you’re managing housekeeping services for a small hotel, resort or senior living facility, a single set of machines might not be enough capacity to meet your needs. Consider a Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry Stacked Dryer/Dryer Combination that’ll give you twice the drying capacity in the same footprint as a single dryer.
Commercial Warranty
Commercial-grade laundry equipment is built to last, with heavy-duty parts and powerful drive systems that are designed to withstand heavy use and bulky loads. But commercial-grade equipment should also come with commercial-grade warranties. Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry machines are backed by a 90-day labor and two-year limited parts-only warranty.
Whirlpool® Commercial Washers
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry 3.27-cubic foot top-load washers are built with a strong, 1/2-horsepower motor that alternates between short and long strokes to deliver quality cleaning performance for loads of all sizes. The traditional, flex-vane agitator design utilizes four distinct wash patterns — from aggressive to gentle — to drench even very large loads with a deep clean. Plus, you can add items to the load at any time simply by lifting the lid. Simple, intuitive controls are easy to use, and a heavy-duty galvanized steel front provides long-lasting protection and easy removal for service.
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry 3.1-cubic foot high-efficiency front-load washers are ENERGY STAR® certified and built from heavy, galvanized steel. A six-point suspension offers optimal stability for unbalanced loads and helps deliver consistent cycle times, while removable front panels provide easy access to the motor, transmission and washtub for streamlined self-service.
Both coin-operated top-load washer and coin-operated front-load washer configurations are available.
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry Dryers
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry front-load 6.7-cubic foot electric or gas dryers combine durable commercial-grade steel cabinets with easy-to-use microprocessor controls and diagnostic capabilities. They’re easy to program to meet your specific drying requirements and give end users simple, one-touch cycle selection.
For even more capacity, Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry 7.4-cubic foot top-load electric or gas dryers deliver performance, cycle after cycle, thanks to 1/3-horsepower motors. Heavy-gauge cabinets and robust, easy-to-use mechanical controls mean they can handle whatever the day throws at them. And with the Whirlpool® High-Velocity Airflow System, you don’t have to sacrifice drying times and efficiency for durability.
Both dryer models feature a porcelain-enamel top that stands up to busy environments and an easily removable front panel that provides fast access to internal components for service calls. Both are also available in coin-operated configurations.
Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry Stacks
The Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry Stacked Washer/Dryer Combination matches a 3.1-cubic foot washer with a 6.7-cubic foot gas or electric dryer, all in one unit. Whether you’re looking for a coin-operated model or not, you’ll get a smaller footprint than you would with two separate machines, but with the same galvanized steel cabinet and powerful drive system. Instead of stacking two machines with dryer controls at the top, washer and dryer controls are easily accessible in the middle.
The Whirlpool® Commercial Laundry Commercial Stacked Dryer/Dryer gives you two 7.4-cubic foot dryers in the same footprint as one for twice the drying capacity. Like the stacked washer/dryer, the stacked dryer/dryer is also available.
