Awesome location. Inexpensive. You choose your drying time. Drop your clothes, go eat and come back. There is an attendant working if you want to drop off clothes.

This place has the friendliest staff! They help me out to my car and they don’t shoo me away with their stares like the launderlux across the street. Now the machines are very cheap and wash my clothes pretty darn well. All the driers work properly. And the overall cleanliness is good. They do have older machines but their service and overall service is worth five stars. I will never go to launderlux again. I was mislead by the new building and pretty colors. Also, there is no bed bugs here!!!

Thank goodness for the location and price at this laundromat. The owner is very cool, always very nice and helpful and he keeps the place spic and span. Really can’t complain! As for people’s comments about other people’s appearance at the laundromat, where do you think you are? The club? Why do you care so much about how people look anyways?! This is a place where people mean business — they get their stuff washed and keep it pushing. I was hesitant to write this review because more people might want to go to my favorite laundromat and it would become too crowded, but decided it was too awesome of a place not to review.

Dear Shameless Competitor, A deceitful Unilocal review such as yours is found to be unnecessary; it also clearly shows an exhibit of poor business ethics, personal lack of knowledge, creativity, and soul. Your initial passage with the mention of bedbugs irks because me because it is not something that is to be taken lightly. According to Civil Code § 1954, by law, these types of infestations are reported to the city, which I did curiously investigate and was unable to find anything, as suspected. By the use of deduction, the tenting you may have witnessed was more likely to be for a treatment of termites. In actuality, these white ants dwell in dead plant material(such as the wood used to erect these older San Jose homes would probably be prime real estate these colonies). If there was any chance of the possibility for termites to be hitchhiking their way into a laundromat, I SUPPOSE the possibility may be for two of the following reasons: 1) Pinocchio, himself, has a passion of washing his clothes and often frequents this place due to the welcoming atmosphere this establishment gives, or 2) laundry customers bring in sawed-off pieces of their home’s infrastructure to have it cleaned and/or dried — but then again, the heat from the dryers would kill off any living creatures, should there be any to begin with. I do, however, whole-heartedly agree with you about the tamales from the donut shop next door; they are pretty amazing, along with the donuts(when they are freshly made, of course). With that being said, your level of cleanliness simply raises an eyebrow. Why, oh why would you ever purchase food from a place with so many awful critters you claim that are running around this area? Never would I even THINK twice about eating from somewhere or even near the vicinity of cockroaches. Sure, of course you would feel safer washing your personal delicates across the street — Aren’t you so glad that the Mommy/Daddy insects tell their army of children that they are NOT allowed to cross the street, and doing so, they would have to suffer the consequences. I really wonder how insects discipline their young. But seriously, I’m new to the area and not here to start any trouble. I had recently become a regular at VIP Launderland for their bigger washer and dryers to take care of my family’s bedding. Being that I am a people-watcher by nature, I notice things all around me. I see that this place is well-kept and there should be no reason why there would be any so-called«bugs» found here; otherwise, one would not find me continuing to wash my personal belongings without any worries here what-so-ever. For many businesses, constructive criticism found on Unilocal is appreciated. One would use this to their advantage in order to make the necessary improvements to stay successful. But think about this: do you sleep better at night knowing that lies had to be made in order to downplay on a preexisting laundromat(a small one that is family-ran, nonetheless) to gain a few customers of your own? God bless you and your family…

I lived down the street. .two words. bed bugs. The nasty apartments next to me got circus tented. I watched all of the people washing all their stuff in that nasty laundromat. That whole strip mall is infested with roaches. I feel bad for the one decent place, the donut shop. I love those tamales they sell, girl brings em in from the east side every morning. That laundromat has grimy people, homeless people come in & try to jack your clothes or just sleep on the folding tabkes.(eww) thankfully the new place opened ip, I’ll pay a little more not to have contaminated clothes. I mean the reason we go to the laundromat is to clean them right? I doubt they are going to stay in business long. great drug buy spot I’m guessing, see it all the time too.

Can’t be $ 1.00 wash right down the street. Not sure how old the machines are, but they seem to get the job done. I only mark it down because of the people who go there… I mean, I know it’s laundry day but at least try to look decent when you leave the house.

This place is ghettosville! It’s dirty and filthy. The machines are ok but not a lot of dryers. Decent washers but then again not enough counters pace either.

There are washers and dryers in my apt complex that work fine, but I decided to try this place out because I save at least 2 bucks per laundry day and I can control how long my stuff spends in the dryer. The dryers are über powerful. At my apt a load takes 40 –50 mins to completely dry. I dried a load for 24 mins and that was already too much as some clothes came out nubby and shrunken. Money and time saved makes it worth it, but it’s also a place with a bit of character. There’s a TV showing telenovelas, the owners are a very friendly Chinese couple and always at the ready to help, the clientele is a diverse mix. There’s a spacious folding area. A donut shop next door to grab some donut holes while waiting. It’s a nice place to just chillax while doing laundry on the weekend.

This place is decent enough. It’s a fairly average laundromat that deserves 3 stars or so. It is $ 1.00 to wash and $ 0.25 to dry per 8 minutes. So all in all, it is about $ 2.00 per load. Well, unless you need to a super large load for a comforter. Then it takes $ 3.75 just to wash. So your comforter takes about $ 5 to wash and dry. And sometimes, a guy just needs to wash his sheets to get rid of the sweat, pubes, snail trails, booty butter, liquid dream juice, cookie crumbs, fleas, spiders, random chest hairs, random face and hair oil, drool, hairs of different colors and lengths, food stains, and other unmentionables. This place does have a few sitting areas, but it is too hard to read since the patrons speak really bad Spanish. In addition, the washers and dryers are too loud to enjoy the tiny TV in the corner. It is best to leave this joint and go hang out at the adjacent Queen’s doughnut shop. But the real reason I am docking this place 1-star is because the bathroom is wretched. The attendant has to open the door with the key and then you are in a bathroom right out of Seven, Fight Club, or Trainspotting. It is hideous. Clean up your act, or in this case, your bathroom and I will be happy to add one more star.
