Is Continental Girbau a good brand for laundromats?

Continental Girbau makes excellent commercial laundry equipment with above-average energy efficiency. They are more commonly found in large OPL operations (hotels, hospitals) than in coin laundromats, but their vended models are well-regarded in upscale laundromat builds. The main downside is a smaller US service network compared to Speed Queen or Dexter.

Where are Continental Girbau machines manufactured?

Continental Girbau equipment is manufactured in Oshkosh, Wisconsin (US) and Vic, Spain. Their US facility produces machines for the North American market while the Spanish facility produces for Europe and international markets. Some specialty models are imported from Spain.

How do I contact Continental Girbau for warranty service?

Continental Girbau offers a 2-year parts warranty and 1-year labor warranty on commercial machines. Contact their technical support at (800) 256-1073 or through their dealer network. WashBizHub's Service Guy AI can help diagnose error codes before you call for service.

Does Continental Girbau have card payment integration?

Yes — Continental's SMART Touch control system integrates with most major card/app payment platforms including PayRange, Hercules, Laundry Lynk, and others. Contact your Continental distributor for payment system integration options.

What is the typical cost of Continental Girbau machines for a laundromat build?

A new Continental Girbau soft-mount washer (30lb) costs approximately $2,200–$3,500 new. Their 50lb washers run $4,000–$7,500. When building a new laundromat with Continental equipment, budget $150,000–$350,000 for equipment depending on store size and configuration.
