“I needed a new washer for my assisted living facility and decided to purchase their UTS40. I love this company. They have been very thorough during the entire process and that is great. Very professional. I installed the washer myself and their service team has been with me every step of the way.”

I own medium/large size laundromat in Texas.  My laundromat does hundreds of pounds of wash dry fold a day.  I always wanted to offer my customers and attendants a soft mount washer but until Unity they were just too expensive. I purchased 5 Unity washers and installed them in my laundromat.  I have had no issues with the washers, and they have been running like a champ.

I own a small boutique laundromat in a small town outside of Albany. My laundromat is on the first floor of a building with a basement so I was in the market for a soft mount washer. I found Unity and I am glad I did. I am very particular about how my laundromat looks and not only was the Unity washer the cheapest 40LB I could find it was also the best looking. It looks like a very expensive washer. The washer is so popular in my laundromat I expect to have it all paid off in just a few months. When that happens I am definately buying another one.

The Unity washer is my first soft mount washer in my laundromat. I couldn’t be more happy with my decision to buy a Unity washer. The washer was cheaper than any hard mount or soft mount I looked at.

The Unity team couldn’t be more professional. Delivery and installation was a breeze.

Since installing the machine it has become a favorite of my wash dry fold attendants. They love how the laundry comes out practically dry. And among my customers, it has become the most popular machine in my laundromat.

We received a grant for a new washer.  I did some research and received some quotations for washers.  Unity was the most affordable NFPA compliant washer.  Unity also made it easy for my county to purchase the washer.  The washer was delivered and we had it up in running very quickly.  Our folks love the washer, it gets used almost every day.

I am a laundromat owner and needed a new washer. I first shopped other brands and was shocked at the high cost of a new soft mount washer. I then found Unity and decided to purchase a washer from them. The washer arrived with no issues (free shipping is great) and the Unity customer support helped me install and setup the washer myself – another huge saving. I would definitely recommend a Unity washer for anyone who wants a great washer and wants to save a significant amount of money.

I love my Unity washer! The price and performance was perfect for my hotel. The washer replaced a 40LB hard mount washer. Installation and setup was incredibly simple. We use a national chemical company for our chemistry and our rep was able to hook up and program the washer with no issues. Compared to my old hard mount not only are the wash cycles shorter, the washer uses less water and the towels and sheets come out almost dry. If you are a hotel general manager replace your old washer with a Unity. You won’t regret it.

I am the owner of a small hotel located in upstate New York.  I needed a new washer for my hotel and found Unity while doing some online searching.  My only concern before purchasing from Unity was that I needed help removing an old washer and help installing the new Unity washer.  Not only did I get a great price on my washer, Unity connected me with one of their local installation and repair professionals that took care of all my needs.  The washer was delivered on-time, installation was easy, and Unity also directly worked with my chemical supplier to setup my chemistry and program the washer.  Unity is the great company and has the perfect product for any small hotel owner.

I own several laundromats in the New Orleans area.  Before Unity, I purchased all my laundry equipment from a local distributor.  I decided to purchase 6 washers from Unity and put them in three of my laundromats.  This is the only way to buy laundry equipment.  The price beats everyone, the product is great, and my customers love the machine.  The Unity team has provided me with excellent service, and they are all great people.  I plan on buying more washing machines from Unity in the future.

I own a laundromat and industrial laundry business. My industrial laundry company services restaurants and janitorial companies. As you can imagine the dirty laundry I process from restaurants and janitorial companies is REALLY DIRTY. I need to deal with grease and other hard to clean stains. I needed a new washer for my industrial laundry company and chose a Unity UTS40. This washer is so great I am going to buy another one. I was able to create a custom program with wash steps just how I want to ensure that my laundry comes out clean the first time.. Rewash is a killer in my business. The washer also spins really fast, cutting my dry time in half. The company is great to work with and the service is incredible.

I have owned my laundromat for 20 years and decided to buy 6 Unity 40LB soft mount washers. These are the first soft mount washers in my laundromat, and I am very happy with my decision. The washer’s software is very intuitive, easy to use, and the performance of these machines is better than any hard mount. I plan on using them for my wash-dry-fold business. The Unity team was great from sales to service. I highly recommend Unity as a company and their products are great.

I am President of a non-profit athletic center targeting underprivileged children.  We offer a range of after school activities from athletics to cooking classes.  Many of the children at my center either can’t afford or their parents don’t have time to provide them with clean clothes.  So, I decided to start a laundry service at the center. I needed a washer that would meet my tight budget considerations, be easy to install and easy to use for the volunteer attendants.  I also wanted to partner with a company that shared the same vision of making clean clothes more accessible. My decision to purchase a Unity washer and work with the Unity team was the right decision. The washer has worked without issue and the Unity team has helped my nonprofit launch its fledgling laundry service.  Thank you Unity.

We own ten generating units with a capacity of 3,357 megawatts, 11,935 miles of distribution lines and 1,317 miles of transmission lines, and have 1,500 employees.

I love this washer and the company. The company provides incredible service including developing a custom wash program for me. The washer is perfect for us. Installation was a breeze and it is extremely simple to operate. Unity is perfect for any business looking to bring cleaning capabilities in-house.

We were shopping for two washers for cleaning towels used to prepare cow udders for milking at our dairy farm. We required equipment built for this challenging environment.  The Unity equipment comes with a great warranty and its simple controller was perfect for our farmers who just want to press one button.  We purchased the Unity equipment online and it was delivered without any issue. I installed both machines in no time at all.  The Unity service team also took the time to talk with me about my wash needs and they designed and emailed me a custom wash program just for me.  I loaded the program file into the washer and it runs perfectly. Unity has a great product and a great team.
