Stacked machines are so important to maximise space and the ‘open concept’ approach to laundrettes, which has proven to generate more income. The extra space the stacked machine provide can be used to enhance the consumer experience, creating spaces for customers to sit, work in, have a coffee or browse the internet, whilst waiting for their laundry to finish. Stacked machines can also help in other settings where there is limited space, or in a hotel setting where linen is washed at high volumes, as they can help to reduce wash-dry times.
Stacked machines have been around for years, so there is a large second hand, used market, as well as new energy efficient machines, with features such as online systems, allowing the owner to set rates, track use, and know how full the coin cage is. Popular brands include Frigidaire, GE and Kenmore.
Whether you are looking for a commercial stacked machine for a laundrette, hotel or other commercial washing environment, the Commercial Traders’ choice of quality new and used equipment can help with all your laundry needs.

What are the advantages of using stacked machines in a commercial laundry setup?
Stacked machines offer the benefit of space-saving by combining a washer and dryer in a vertical configuration. This setup maximizes floor space, making it ideal for laundrettes, hotels, and other businesses with limited room. They also allow you to process more laundry simultaneously, increasing efficiency.
Are there different types of stacked machines available for commercial use?
Yes, stacked machines come in various configurations, including gas or electric dryers stacked over front-loading washers. Some models include ventless dryers for installations without external venting options. You can also find high-efficiency models designed to reduce water and energy consumption.
How do I choose the right capacity for stacked machines?
The capacity of stacked machines should be selected based on your laundry volume. Smaller operations may benefit from units with a 20-30 pound capacity per machine, while larger hotels or laundrettes might require models with 40-50 pound capacity. It’s crucial to balance capacity with available space and throughput needs.
What maintenance is required for stacked washer-dryer units?
Regular maintenance for stacked machines includes cleaning lint filters, checking hoses for leaks, and ensuring that the drum and gaskets are free of residue. Additionally, vents should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages. Scheduled inspections and professional servicing will help prolong the lifespan of your equipment.
Should I buy new or used stacked machines for my commercial laundry business?
The choice between new and used stacked machines depends on your budget and operational needs. New machines offer the latest technology and come with warranties, while used machines can be more cost-effective if they’ve been well-maintained. Our platform offers both options, connecting you with trusted sellers to find the best solution for your business.
