I have only been here once and that's the only time I'll go in.
The smell is really unpleasant. It's messy. The equipment doesn't work, or may break down on you when you use it.
I tried washing a couple loads of clothes, and a small load of (3) utility rugs. I ended up using one of the front loader washers for the rugs, and in the middle of the wash, the machine locked up with water in it unfinished and wouldn't let me open it. I had to call the management to come by. Meanwhile, my clothes were done in the washer and I could not get the dryer doors to stay shut while they dried. I wasted a lot of money because its not like the time is paused on the machine when the door opens!
When management came by to assist me with the broken washing machine, they said I put too many rugs in it and caused it to clog. I put in 3 rugs! THREE. Who in their right mind would pay $3.50 to wash less than 3 rugs? Not this girl. I have been to plenty of other mats where I could wash like 5 rugs in one machine no problem. While I'm making this argument with them, I am STILL trying to get the dryer doors to shut. They told me I also put too many clothes in the dryer and the weight is pushing the door open. They suggested I only put 2-3 (yes, TWO TO THREE) pieces of clothing in multiple dryers to get them to stay shut and properly dry my clothes. First off, I should be able to put a normal sized load of clothes into one dryer with no problem. It was the door that didn't latch, not the weight of my clothes causing it to fly open. Second, even if I took their advice of putting a few things of clothing into multiple machines, that makes me the jerk in the laundromat that's hogging all the dryers, so no one else would be able to use them! I am not gonna be that jerk!
Again, I have put way more clothes into other machines without them breaking at other laundromats than these. They are supposed to be industrial equipment, and when we pay to use them, we expect them to work! I was appalled and embarrassed that these managers (men) could tell ME (a woman) how to do my laundry and how to use laundry machines. The nerve. read more
