Let\u2019s see how to choose a commercial washer for a small business.[\/vc_column_text][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]How to choose a commercial washer for a small business: what should you look at?[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]There are some important features to consider in deciding which commercial washer to choose for a small business. For each feature, the small business owner should sit down and determine their needs:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 \u2013 load:<\/strong> what is my average load per cycle? The tiers that should be considered are<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 8 kg<\/li>\n<li>From 8 to 12 kg<\/li>\n<li>Above 12 kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Domestic washers can come in 8 kg load capability (an 8 kg household washer is quite big) but they will lack the design and performance needed for a business. The market offers 8 kg <a href=\"https:\/\/professional.electrolux.com\/commercial-laundry-equipment\/mypro-washers-dryers-steam-ironers\/\">washers designed and built as commercial washers<\/a> that are a good compromise between an almost-domestic capability and the needs of a small business.<\/p>\n<p>The 8 to 12 kg range is no longer considered a household washer but it isn\u2019t a \u201creal\u201d commercial washer either since the load is still quite small for these appliances. Nonetheless, you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/professional.electrolux.com\/accessories-consumables\/laundry\/mypro-xl-laundry-small-business\/\">washing solutions that can match professional performance with smaller loads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to wash above 12 kg, chances are you are not running a small business, so you should look at <a href=\"https:\/\/professional.electrolux.com\/commercial-laundry-equipment\/commercial-washers\/\">real commercial washers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 \u2013 operating time:<\/strong> how fast do I need the machine to operate? Household washers are designed for family timeframes, not for guests in small hotels who need their laundry washed, dried and ironed in 2 or 3 hours. To choose a commercial washer for your small business you need to ask yourself what average cycle time you need. Available solutions can range from 50% faster than household washers to an even shorter time for the full washing-drying cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 \u2013 durability<\/strong>: how long do I need the washer to operate (and how much should I pay for that)?<\/p>\n<p>The average number of cycles under standard operating conditions is the fundamental measure of durability. A household washer normally lasts for 2500 cycles; what are the ranges to choose a commercial washer for a small business?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From 2500 to 7500<\/li>\n<li>From 7500 to 15000<\/li>\n<li>From 15000 to 30000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first two ranges are suitable for a small business; a commercial washer designed to complete more than 15000 cycles is hardly desirable for small businesses since the performance\/cost ratio is way above its needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 \u2013 programs and special needs: <\/strong>do I need special programs? For example, disinfecting possibilities: this would be a must for small nursing homes, clinics, veterinarians and even spas. These programs are hardly ever found in household appliances, but are possible in commercial washers for small business, albeit <a href=\"https:\/\/professional.electrolux.com\/accessories-consumables\/laundry\/mypro-xl-laundry-small-business\/\">only in the most advanced models<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are several kinds of small businesses whose cleaning requirements exceed the capability of domestic appliances, and they need adequate commercial washers: something midway between household washers and professional, industrial appliances.
