Ben’s Laundromat

Decent place that closes by 10pm daily. Regular loads are $ 3.00 per wash and $ 0.25 per 8 minutes of drying. Large loads are $ 4.50 per wash and $ 0.25 per 5 minutes of drying. Was using this regularly for a while before It became too time consuming and I started dropping my laundry off at the next door cleaners (Chestnut Street Cleaners) for only $ 10 for a load of same day wash and fold.

$ 3 for regular wash, $ 4.50 for large. $ 0.25 for 5 min of drying time. Pretty standard. Clean, no wait at noon on a rainy Wednesday. Seems fine to leave between loads most people are in and out frequently.

Old machines, recently raised prices make it expensive to wash and not worth your time. Wash and fold is a better deal than going to this place.

I stopped by here while my building’s washing machine was broken. The facility is really clean with plenty of washers, dryers, and seats. Prices were pretty fair– $ 2.75 for a regular-​sized washer and $ 0.25 per 8 minutes of drying. 24 minutes was enough for my clothes, and 32 was perfect for towels.
My one criticism is that the first machine I put my laundry into was broken, which I didn’t find out until I tried to add money and it wouldn’t accept it. Nothing is worse than having to move your clothes to another washer after adding detergent. That being said, those things happen, and I think the cleanliness, efficiency, and convenience of this laundromat more than make up for it.

Well, there’s a first time for everything, right? I’ve always lived in an apartment that has washing machines in the building. I still do… Except my apartment building is currently being retrofitted (yay! Safety!) but it means I don’t have access to the garage. Which is where the washers and dryers are (boo).
I’ve put off having to go to a laundromat as long as I could. Since this is the first laundromat I’ve ever used, my experience is only based on what I’ve casually noticed from walking by numerous laundromats in the city.
I picked this one because it’s near me, it looks clean, it’s very well lit, they play classical music (softly), they have lots of machines, and it’s cheaper than the other one near me. To wash one load in a normal machine, it’s $ 2.75. To dry in a normal machine, it’s $ 0.25 per 8 minutes.
Once I already paid and got everything going, I realized they have a few oversize load machines in the back for $ 3.00 per load. They also have two 35 lb washing machines for $ 4.50 per load.
If you need change, they have a change machine.
If you need soap, bleach, or softener, they have a vending machine.
I’m writing this review as my sheets are getting washed. Fingers crossed my laundry comes out clean!
