It was a waste of money. A standard but quality washer with a stainless drum is more than sufficient unless you are doing thousands of garments a week. With an off the shelf washer, you can get parts anywhere and any local repair shop can handle it. I also looked at it this way. If a good whirlpool lasts you 5 years at 800$ your $ up. An industrial washer can cost you $6000 easy. At that price you could replace the washer every 5 years and still be money up after 30 years. I would assume a good Maytag/Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid(all the same company) will last 10 years on RO water. DI water may shorten it life due to ION leaching in the plastics and seals.

Hi everyone,
This has been an insightful and fascinating thread to follow. I've had the opportunity to talk with a few of you about our garment situation, and the outcome of those conversations has me looking into what it would take to get set up with our own washing machine and racking equipment, too. With the hope that I'm not shifting the conversation too much from the original post's topic, what is your experience or recommendations for what to look for in an industrial washing machine?
Thanks,

We do our own cleanroom laundry here at UC Davis too. We use our own washing machine and student assistant labor; except we air dry the garments. Much cheaper and much less of a headache than our previous relationship with Aramark.
