Came in on a Sunday because our washer burnt out during an electrical surge. Still waiting on parts. Sonic Suds sent out flyers in the mail saying it was "50% off all washers" during the grand opening. Being clean & brand new, this would be the time to check it out. I go to the Dollar Tree in this strip mall often, and have never had an issue parking, but today it was full. It's a pretty day so I guess everyone's out and about. Only waited a minute and got a spot. There are big blue carts out front for you to unload your bigger laundry hauls, then push up the ramp. Convenient! There are also metal rolling baskets inside. I grabbed one of those since I didn't have much. Did a lap around to see what the deal was.
You buy a card from the wall machine off to the right by the office. I used a credit card, but you can use cash or EBT, starting at $10. Then choose the right size washer for your needs. The price increases according to volume and extras a la McD's: 20lb= $1.59 up to 80lbs= $5.39. You can Supersize with extra rinses or washes for $1 or more. I went with two 30lb machines, no supersizing needed. I'm not sure what the 50% off applies to, but if these washers were double the price regularly I'd reconsider. Next time I go back I'll have to inquire where the discount comes in.
I set my temperatures, and found a table in back to read a paper. 25 minutes later my laundry was clean. Off to the dryers. A standard dryer is $.54 per 10 minutes. Takes about 4-5 rounds. There are super sized dryers at a higher price, but I think two smaller loads dry clothes better than one large load. Probably good for comforters.
Folding tables are available. So are soap and softener in a vending machine for purchase. There are snack machines, arcade games and bathrooms for customers in the back, and lots of tvs to keep you entertained. There were plenty of open machines and chairs to sit in while waiting, and free Wi-Fi to stream. The Password is on the back wall. Overall it was a great experience. I'll be back as many times as it takes until the machine at home is fixed. read more
