I have used Spin City for years. It's location is convenient to my work place, and it is nicer than the laundry closer to me. I'm confused by the couple of bad reviews. I've always gotten 32 minutes for $2, NOT 8 minutes. If you didn't, then you may not have operated the machine correctly - call the owner, don't leave a bad review! I also use a credit card to wash and dry. When I asked about the $15 charge on my card, the owner told me that the system 'batches' out in a few hours, which keeps my card from getting charged every time I use a different machine. Credit card companies only allow you so many 'swipes' per day - I learned that the hard way when buying songs online for a trip. I get one charge, and only one, for all my washer/dryer spending. I've had gas stations put a money hold on my card for the purchase. Nothing new there! There are even signs explaining this in the store! I've always been charged correctly, and if I have a problem the owner has always made things more than right! The machines are larger than cheaper ones at other laundromats. But I can get all my laundry in one of the larger ones rather than use two smaller ones, so I save money! If I sound like a veteran laundromat user, I am. I've used laundromats for over 12 years, and have found out that they are not equal - the washers may look similar, but the sizes are different. If you think another store is cheaper, make sure you compare the number of laundry baskets labeled on the washer. The owner of this store is great. Any problem I thought I had, he made right. I can't say that for every other store I've ever shopped at or done business with - including on the Internet! Don't be scared away by a couple of one-time bad reviews! No place is perfect, but I like this one! And I would not appreciate a dog in the store - if it's that hot and humid out, why would you take a dog out in that weather anyway? read more
