Approximately 60 units in my apartment building, a mix of studios and one-bedrooms.
Three sets of washers and dryers. Of these six machines, at least one will be broken at any given time. This week, it’s one of the washers.
Wash loads take about 30 minutes. The dryers take about 60 minutes.
What all this adds up to is laundry taking an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to do. I started my two loads at around five this afternoon. It’s now eight in the evening, and I’m looking at, oh, at least another hour and a half if all goes well.
Meh.

For a mere $900 you can get this (where else?) Made in China personal washer/dryer – free standing and with many venting options “http://www.comforthouse.com/comfort/was.html”
Heh – that’s pretty nifty, actually. Not in the budget right now, but who knows…depending on where we end up finding a place, that might come in really handy. Neat!
