"I can do six loads in an hour-and-a-half!"
When I was forced to use a coin operated laundry exclusively, the thing I liked--the ONLY thing I liked--was being able to do more than one load at once. But I otherwise hated the experience. I hated the inconvenience of going to the place. The environment was not particularly pleasant, and while I could do several loads in a short time, I was pretty much there doing nothing but laundry for that time. (Well, I did sometimes quickly visit a neighboring grocery store.)
And for most of that time, it wasn't like I actually got the load fully done in 1 1/2 hours. I had a working dryer, and so I brought the laundry back to where I lived to dry, rather than spend 25 cents for 2 seconds of drying time.
And then...there was always the question of germs...and what was this washer used for before I got here?
Eventually, the woman who owns this property upgraded washers elsewhere, and I got a semi-functional WCI Frigidaire. I really don't like those washers, and this one had issues. But it sure beat the coin operated laundry.
