The first laundry washer machine that I went to look at was in fact a commercial heavy duty coin operated laundry machine. I went to look at that machine since I‘m really found of commercial laundry machines since they are quite durable and heavy duty. My old machine was in commercial class and survived more than 30 years (actually it came with the house -- that‘s what my father tolled me) and now in 2007 its about time to get a new one. The thing is that I‘m not looking for some Sci-Fi High-Tech laundry machine because I‘m still quite happy with the 30 year old one as I don‘t really care about what it does except to wash my cloths really well, support few types of cloth materials - cotton, wool, plastic (for some T-Shirts with plastic emblems and etc), artificial materials (most of the cloths nowadays are made with those and they shrink and deform so badly if you accidentally put it on hot instead of warm program). So basically I don‘t have that much requirements.

I was about to forget. Yes I do need the dryer because that‘s the most important part after washing as I don‘t like to wait days for them to dry. Actually most of the time I wash my cloths when I run out of clean ones ( I guess most of you guys are like that if you don‘t have a women in the house - I live alone for now). That makes my demand for a good quality in the same time affordable dryer highly important for the human survival (my survival before all).....

As I said before a commercial laundry machine is perfect for a single guy like me and washing up to 60 lb of really durty cloths won‘t be an issue.

The first place I went out to look for Commercial Laundry Machines was Home Depo. I guess that was the closes place where I can find such stuff. At Home Depo I found one was the Frigidaire front load Washing machine and Dryer.
