Coin Laundry Brands?

[Dan Gallegos]

Hi Everyone, 

I recently closed on a triplex, and we are in the process of converting a shed in the back of the property to a laundry room. The property came with a used washer and dryer (regular consumer quality) that are roughly 5 years old. 2 of the units share a meter and one is separately metered. We've decided to include utilities on 2/3 units and hook up the laundry to the shared meter. We would like to use coin laundry as a way to help offset the included utilities.

I've looked into a few options:

1. Use the current washer/dryer combo and eat the utility costs until they die.
2. Use the current washer/dryer combo and hook up a "Smart Coin Box" or something like it (https://www.mqtekindustrialsupplies.com/SMARTCOINB...) I can't find any real reviews/experiences from these which worries me.
3. Go through a leasing company. Through my research this seems to be a bad idea because of poor customer service, etc.
4. Buy a new commercial washer dryer combo. In this case, what brand/model are people using? 

Thanks in advance!
