About Our Machines | Speed Queen Washers & Dryers, Evanston

Why choose our laundromat

Built around the way people actually do laundry.

Four things you feel the moment you start a load — and every one of them comes back to the equipment on our floor.

01

Faster from wash to dry

Heavy-duty washers spin at up to 200 G, pulling out more water before your clothes reach our axial-airflow dryers.

02

Gentler on your clothes

Polished stainless-steel tubs and drums with smooth, micro-rounded perforations help your fabrics glide instead of snag.

03

Room for the big stuff

Extra-deep washers handle bulky blankets, comforters, and oversized rugs that do not belong in a standard home machine.

04

Easy to control

Clear Quantum Gold controls and cycle modifiers make it simple to choose the right temperature, soil level, and rinse.

The Speed Queen setup

Commercial strength without the commercial confusion.

Two workhorses do most of the lifting on our floor. Here is what each one is built to do.

Washers

SC washer-extractors

High-performance extraction, stainless-steel construction, and programmable water levels help every load come out consistent — and come out drier.

Extraction up to 200 G-force, so less water goes into the dryer
Four-compartment precision dispensing for detergent, bleach and softener
Programmable water levels and leak detection
Extra-deep drums for comforters, blankets and rugs

Dryers

ST stacked dryers

Two dryer pockets in one vertical footprint — which means more machines free when you walk in, and less waiting on a Sunday afternoon.

Axial airflow moves heat evenly through the load
Reversing cylinder keeps large items from balling up
Large lint screen at the front for easy clearing
Integrated safety systems on every pocket

Customer experience ranking

The benchmark for a better laundry day.

How the major commercial laundry brands compare on the things customers actually notice — speed, capacity, fabric care and controls.

Rank	Brand	Experience	What customers notice
1	Speed Queen our setup	★★★★★Perfect	Reliability, smooth drum surfaces, powerful extraction, and fast dry times.
2	Dexter Laundry	★★★★☆Excellent	Fast spin cycles, but drums may feel harsher on delicate items.
3	Huebsch	★★★★☆Excellent	Strong mechanical performance, with more complex screens.
4	Electrolux	★★★★☆Good	Efficient machines, though cycles can take longer to process loads.
5	Wascomat	★★★☆☆Average	Reliable baseline cleaning, with fewer specialized cycle modifiers.
6–10	LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, Milnor, Girbau	★★☆☆☆Mixed	Tradeoffs range from smaller openings and off-balance errors to rougher handling or less intuitive controls.

Rankings reflect our own hands-on experience running a laundromat floor, not an independent laboratory test.

Folding table and rolling cart beside the washers at Express Laundromat

More than machines

A room that works as hard as you do.

Extra-large folding tables, clean surfaces, and smooth rolling carts are placed to make heavy wet loads easier to move, sort, and fold.

Always operational. Rugged commercial construction is tested for continuous use, helping keep more machines available when you arrive.

Deep, clothing-safe clean. Automated dispensing sends detergent, bleach, and softener at the right point in the cycle to reduce residue buildup.

Custom cycles. Add options like Heavy Soil Wash or Extra Hot Rinse when the load calls for more control.

Comfortable workflow. Spacious folding tables and carts help you move from washer to dryer without awkward lifting.

Ready when you are

Make your next laundry day the easy one.

We are open 24 hours a day, every day. Bring the comforter you have been putting off — or hand the whole thing to us and pick it up folded the same day.
