| Hello,
I am looking for a hard working laundry pair. We own a housekeeping cabin with 8 beds so I am constantly doing laundry. Would like to be able to sanitize, and would also love steam to keep wrinkles on cotton sheets at minimum. I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thank you! |

| What type of electrical service do you have in the laundry room? Is there a floor drain like in commercial laundries or is this a residential setup? |
|
| If you can't go comercial I recommend 2 washer and dryers stacked side by side. to reduce the strain on the appliances and the person doing laundry |

| I agree with jakvis. No matter what you do, something will go wrong sometime. With two pair, you'll have an efficient situation day-to-day and when something goes wrong with one of the machines you'll still be able to get by. |

| Frigidaire FAFS4473LW 4.4 Cu ft Front Load Steam Washer with sanitation setting and extra extraction cycle. This machine provides the extra capacity, and energy settings you may require. Whirlpool Duet® HE 4.4 cu. ft. I.E.C. Front-Load Steam Washing Machine (WFW9550W) is a good choice. Remember, you are doing a commercial amount of laundry, you do need two machines in order to complete this amount of laundry with non-commercial machines. Your laundry room is also a consideration. Weight, clearance, etc. It should be located on a concrete slab and will require concrete for a rigid installation of any commercial machines. The whirlpool machines have good reviews and the frigidaire machines have the most tested engineering. |

| Interesting Speed Queen has no been mentioned. Their machines are made for high throughput - unlike most residential units. Their regular wash cycle is 44 minutes. The AFB50R front loader also features a Boosted Hot setting. While not Sanitze-hot, its 140F is hot enough to kill dust mites and everything else lurking in sheets etc. These machines are also very easy to use - basically, you don't even need the user's manual. Steam in the dryer is just to release wrinkles after the cycle is over if you left the clothes in for too long - it's not really intended to prevent wrinkles during the drying process. Also, Consumer Reports found most steam dryers to do a poor job at removing wrinkles using the steam option. With sheets, it's much more important not to overload the dryer. Again, Speed Queen has a stacked dryer that has plenty of capacity. If the Speed Queens are out of your budget look at Frigidaire. The washers start with FAFS44... and the dryers with FAS... Alex |
