Oakland Super Wash & Dry

Too expensive $ 4.50 for a wash. Dog poop on floor and only 4 baskets in the laundry mat. Dirty place not a place to take dirty clothes to get cleaned. I normally go to Alameda but wanted something closer to Emeryville in order to avoid Raider game traffic. The amount I spent here I would have rather spent in gas going elsewhere. Even detergents and bounce is priced .75 to 1.00 more than the average laundry mat.

My first time there. I had just moved to the area, and my duplex has neither a washer drier nor laundry facility near by. So I had three weeks worth of laundry!
Decided to treat my self to the fluff and fold for $ 0.99/lb. Turns out I had almost 60 lbs!
Dropped it off around 10:30, they told me it would be done by 7:30.
The woman was very helpful in getting everything weighed, and I was on my way.
When I came in at 7:30, the gentleman there now knew exactly who I was, my laundry was neatly folded, waiting for me in three bags, and he helped me load it into the car. In and out, a pleasure.
And when I started putting everything away, it was great to discover my socks were all paired off, everything was neatly folded and sorted, shirts with shirts, etc. Certainly more organized and neater than I would ever do myself!
And at least a dozen drier sheets were used!
I don’t know, once I get into a weekly routine, how often I’d use the fluff and fold, but this one time it was an extravagance well worth the extra money. I’m guessing it would have cost about $ 25 and my own time to do it half as well.
They have wifi, so I can see hanging out with my laptop, but this worked too.

Attendant was super unhelpful when I had an issue with one of the washers (admittedly putting something in the washer was my fault, but being told that once the machine locks it can’t be opened is frustrating). Then when I asked for quarters on my credit card, I was told that $ 10 was too much, which when one of the large dryers costs $ 8.50 is not a stretch. Might try doing my laundry elsewhere.

Been doing my laundry here for the past year, has great amenities and friendly staff!
machines are new and work well

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Pretty sure this place is literally a scam. I put $ 4 in a machine, then it stopped accepting quarters and wouldn’t give any back. One guy told me the same thing happened to him on another machine. There are signs everywhere saying «Ask the attendant to help,» but of course there’s no attendant. I knocked on the door to the office, but a lady told me «They’re never here when you need them.» After my wash finished, I put my wet clothes in the car and went to a different laundromat.

Always clean when I come and attendant is always on duty. They have a couple TV’s so you can stay on top of TV shows while washing, and they accept credit or debit for washing… cool right? I find the patrons to be mixed and communicable peeps! This location is down the street from my job, and I appreciate that the place is TLC from the attendants. I’ve only started coming a couple months now. Good place if you’re in the area.

I live on the same street. so it has been easy and convenient to use this Laundromat for the past ten years. Today, I realized that the new management/​owner must not be aware that the current, on site manager… a woman, was a loud mouthed rude, bully who spent all her time talking on her cell phone and was no help at all… I will not be back as long as this person is bullying customers.

The new owners are trying hard to improve this place. I’ve been doing my laundry here since 2002 and I look forward to more improvements.
I was just there yesterday. It was, how shall i say, a relief to be able to use the restroom, which had previously been off limits to customers. Thank you!
There is now free wifi! I got on the wifi and was reading e-​mails. Then a couple began streaming a movie on their computer and I could no longer access the wifi until they left. Also, it seems to work only in the front of the place. I was sitting on a bench halfway back waiting for my dryer and there was no connection. Granted i don’t go to a laundromat just to use the wifi, but it was annoying. I’d have brought a book if i’d known it was so… so… weak.
I look forward to more improvements. I wish the new owners all the best. It’s nice that the place is now being taken care of.

I came here today because I’ve always had a good wash here, however there has been changes that really I like. You can use your credit card don’t have to hassle with cash, it’s cleaner with a modern twist with flat screens. Also greeted by a very friendly professional and helpful young employee Shantell. She provided the guidelines on how the ccard works and if you use Unilocal you get an extra $ 5 bucks. I think this is the best wash house in the area and it’s enjoyable place if you need to wash clothes.

I hadn’t been here in YEARS, but my washing machine is broken. I came here one day when I was on my way to a laundromat that’s a little closer to my house. I went to the donut shop, and it just didn’t make any sense to go to another laundromat when this one was right there.
The place had obviously been renovated. Fairly new looking machines. Clean. I did notice the lights were turned off, conserving energy? There was a large machine for $ 6.00, that handled 3 comforters at a time. A little more exspensive than the other place, but the capacity of the machine was better & my clothes seemed to come out cleaner.
The clientele was diverse, there was free WiFi.

Oh boy oh boy.
This place used to be adequate. It’s a neighborhood laundromat, nothing you would go out of your way for, and I’ve been using it for about a year and a half. It was cheap, of average cleanliness, and of primary concern was that your clothes got clean and dry about 95% of the time. Yes, there was an occasion or two when stuff just didn’t feel or look clean, and there were certain washers to avoid. But still, I used it, every week at least for a year and a half.
I think it was owned by Mr. Lee. He’s the sullen elder Asian guy who parks on the bench by the door and glares at everyone. It was «handled» when he wasn’t around by the people at the donut shop two doors down, who may or may not have been relatives. Now it is being handled by the people who have the beauty supply next door. Well, I guess you could call it handling.
The people at the beauty supply are nice enough. I don’t know if they own the laundromat now, or just manage it.
But the place went from kind of dirty to just downright scary. People can be pigs, we know this, but this place hadn’t been swept and the machines hadn’t been wiped off when I showed up, early in the day. More machines than ever are «out of order» and once again I lost my money to a machine that wasn’t working and yet didn’t have a sign. Plus one of the dryers turned my white bathmats pinkish brown. There were big balls of hair all over the place, on the floor and counters, like some crazy person’s dust bunny collection had finally escaped after forty years in captivity. It even smelled bad. How can a place with dryers venting constantly and the influx of laundry chemicals smell bad? Are homeless people sleeping there?
The crowd is different, too. It used to be diverse, all the various people of the neighborhood, and you’d see familiar faces often enough. I didn’t see anybody I had seen before, and that was okay, but the people that were there were intensely unfriendly, and intentionally not nice. I was scared. And I don’t scare easy — I live in Oakland. There was a lady in a hijab who was wheeling her baby around in a huge stroller, and she kept crashing intentionally into me and my laundry cart, and would arbitrarily slam the door of the dryer or washer I was using if I was loading or unloading it. She and her laundry friends spent a lot of time saying something nasty about everyone who came in. Just because you’re not speaking English, don’t assume that other people can’t understand you. I caught enough words to know. Blatant racism is not limited to white people who wear bed sheets.
I usually don’t warn people away from a local independent business, no matter how poorly run, but I have to say: Don’t bother with this place. You’re not welcome here. And it will rip you off and destroy your laundry.

My girlfriend won’t go here because the Asian guy who is ALWAYS there stares at her and handles her clothes if she’s not there immediately when the wash stops. Plus, the hours say they’re open to 10 but he’s a total DICK about getting out of there by 9:30. I saw him get into a fight with a guy doing laundry there after the guy’s machine ate his money. The guy working there wanted the customer to clean his soap out of the machine after it ate his money! I have a creepy feeling that someone will be killed here some day.

Let me check my field notes: They got front loaders (my preference) for 2.25, top loaders for 1.75, big front loaders (never used these) for 5.00, and, from another review on this place, a ‘whoa’ size front loader for 7.25. Dryers are 6 min per quarter, and are in good shape. I like the fact that they have benches and a few fast-​food style attached table-​chair sets. Too bad they don’t have large, high tables for folding, like the ones at Bing Wong in Berkeley. A lady was wiping everything down and sweeping when I was there, and it looks like she does this sufficiently frequently.
The parking lot is tiny, but there’s street parking too. In the same strip you got a donut place and a good smelling tacqueria. All the businesses have ‘no public restrooms’ scrawled onto a handmade sign on the door. Hmm… what else. Oh yeah, hours 7:30 am — 10 pm.
This place works for me.

Home of OAKLAND’S BIGGEST WASHER. WHHHAAAAHHHHHHOOOAAAAA!!!
$ 7.25 buys you a spin in the 80 pound washer. This thing is a monster! Handles up to 8 loads at a time.
Just like your mom.
