A lot of campgrounds mistakenly purchase washers and dryers from local appliance and big-box stores in good faith they’ll work for years to come. The problem is, they don’t. Even worse, when they breakdown, owners quickly discover that the warranty that came with the appliance is null and void. Why? Because the machine was used in a business/commercial application.
The Big-Box Dilemma
These domestic washers and dryers aren’t warrantied for commercial use because they are not constructed with the same strength and stamina as commercial washers and dryers. And of all the places that require commercial durability, campgrounds top the list. Some campgrounds have on-premise laundries to launder sheets and towels and guest laundries for campers to launder personal items, sleeping bags and more. Both applications require commercial laundry solutions!
Next Steps
If this sounds familiar, or you are in the market for new laundry equipment, a great first step is to contact your local commercial laundry equipment distributor. Your distributor will visit your facility and provide equipment recommendations – backed by solid commercial warranties. They will also provide service and after-the-sale support when needed.
Plus Programmability!
Not only do commercial machines come with a more robust factory warranty – our commercial washers feature a 5/3-year warranty – they offer flexible programmability and auto chemical injection that ensures every item is properly cleaned, no matter who does the laundry. Operators just enter a program number and press start. No more babysitting.
Investing in the right equipment pays off in reliability, efficiency and peace of mind. By choosing commercial-grade washers and dryers designed for the demands of campground operations, you avoid costly downtime, protect your investment with a valid warranty and make laundry easier for both staff and guests. Don’t settle for machines that aren’t built for the job, equip your campground with commercial laundry solutions that deliver performance, durability and convenience for years to come.
