Learn How a Product Earns the Label

Make your property more attractive to current and prospective residents.

Thanks to the latest cutting-edge features, ENERGY STAR certified commercial clothes washers will satisfy all of your residents' demands and more:

  • Save More than Money. ENERGY STAR certified commercial washers have more capacity than conventional top-load models with an agitator. Some front-loaders can wash over 20 pounds of laundry at once, compared to 10-15 pounds for a standard top-loader. This means your residents can do fewer loads and avoid having to bring big, bulky items to the laundromat.
  • Enjoy Clothes Longer. Most ENERGY STAR certified commercial washers are designed without an agitator, which results in a gentler wash than conventional top-load washers with agitators.
  • Enjoy More Convenience. Some ENERGY STAR certified commercial washers include web-linking technologies with notification abilities, allowing your residents to know exactly when a washer is free as well as the precise moment to move clothes from the washer to the dryer.
