I’ve been coming to Spin Cycle ever since I got fed up with the laundry room in my building not cleaning my clothes completely. I never knew how much of a gem this laundromat would be.
For starters, if you wash here, you dry free. Yes, FREE. I could stop right there. The dryers get your clothes dry 98% of the time (there is the occasional re-​dry, but it’s FREE). And the washers… plenty of them and they get clothes CLEAN. I think the most expensive machine here is $ 6.00 for five loads. Yes, FIVE.
For best access to the machines, come on any day other than Saturday or evenings/​late nites… they’re open 24 hours.
I’m liking it!

Normally I have no complaints about this laundromat. Be coming for a few years now. This is suppose to be a 24hr laundromat and yet there are no quarters in the machines to wash. This is no fault to the attendees that works the overnight shift.

Bought groupon twice. $ 20 for $ 40 wash and fold. Both experiences were very good. The first time I gave them a few laundry washing bags and told them to use the bags for my bras. They did use the bags but stuffed too many bras in one bag so ruined one bra. Other than that everything else was good. So the second time I just put bras in the washing bags myself and everything was perfect.
They sort the colors, wash and fold the clothes for you. $ 1 per pound. Finish in a couple hours. So far I’m very happy with the results. Not sure about coin laundry though. The staff were friendly and nice. The place looks quite clean. Will come back again.

I had to update my review. Since September 2013 when I left my review. Things have went downhill. I am assuming they have changed ownership, because the customer service is completely gone. I don’t know who this guy is, but you need to get rid of him. He never helps out. He is always inside the breezeway smoking and don’t leave a cart outside for him to pick up. The stares will cut you clean.
I am not sure, but when I clock in to work… I work. I guess folks now a days think having a job is some sort of privilege. Until you’re standing in line at the IDES office. Machines half of the time do not work along with dryers. Not sure if the wifi works, because everytime I ask I get the «I don’t know.» Oh well good things only last but for so long. Defo looking for another spot to do laundry.

As a new resident to Chicago and having an apartment without my own washer and dryer for once, I was skeptical about choosing the right laundromat for me. I have been going to Spin Cycle since moving here and have not been satisfied nor completely dissatisfied. There seems to always be an issue with the washers not washing the clothes properly and I’m not sure why. Sometime I add almost a whole half a bottle of detergent and still see like no suds in my load. I do appreciate the fact that it is 24 hours and that the dryers are FREE! But I still want to find a new laundromat with better washers and free dryers.

there were way 2 many kids when my girl & i went there. there were washers available in different sizes so we got that done quickly. there were several dryers out of order though. at first we only 2 that were available but when other people were done with using the dryer they let us know that we could use it. that was pretty nice of them. we come here cuz its the closest and biggest laundromat around her crib.

Spin cycle is close to me and they have dry free so I always go there. It’s never really clean stuff is always all over the place and the attendants are a little weird but they have decent size machines and the dryers get really hot, most of them run for 20 mins but there are a few that go for 30 mins, u can restart them as many times as you wish. They closed down for like 6 months and all they did was add like one wall of new washers which I dont like and put some computers in there. i think they have free wifi or you can pay to use the computers like $ 1 for 30 mins or something like that. They are always playing really good music like a soundtrack for getting busy. they are open 24 hours which is great all and all its an ok spot they just need to cleanu p sometimes

Clean, Quiet (Sunday afternoon), no riff raff hanging out and the attendants on duty were very helpful carrying my laundry from my car, asking me if I was okay and needed anything and even carried my laundry back to my car for me once I was finished. A little pricey but I didn’t mind. They’re open 24 hours a day. The only down side is they could use a few more folding tables for as big as the place is. FREE DRYERS!!!
