Greers Laundromat

Lakeshore Vermont

I have been using Greer's on North Ave. for years. I recently went with a lot of laundry. The attendant (woman) was so rude. I went to dry my laundry and was told to take my laundry out of some of the dryers because I used too many. There was no-one else in the laundromat mind you. The attendant had 8 dryer marked for "Greer's Use Only", which she wasn't even using. I have never heard of a laundromat telling a customer to take their laundry out of a machine because they used too many dryers. This is a very bad business plan. I will never go there again.

I’ve been coming to this laundromat for about a year and it’s pretty consistently terrible. Only once in a year have I been here at the same time as an attendant. There are constantly huge puddles on the floor, only a handful of large machines (and even less that work), most of the small machines are broken, the single load washers haven’t worked the entire time I’ve been coming here. Dryers are hit or miss and all seem to dry on high heat.
It was truly disgusting in there today. Overflowing trash, filthy floors, garbage everywhere. We actually decided to just bring our wet clothes home rather than stay and fight for a functioning dryer.
We’re considering driving into the city to do laundry there, which is a huge bummer because this place is less than 1/4 mile from our home. I wish someone would open a competing laundromat in the New North End. They would do really, really well.

Clean, but the prices have gone way way up. It feels like it goes up every month.

It was hot out so I appreciated the air conditioning and table to eat my lunch at while I waited for my laundry to be done.
No bathroom though but Hannaford solved that. Otherwise it was clean and orderly.

I’ve used this laundromat several times, and unfortunately, the experience has consistently been disappointing. First of all, nearly half of the machines are frequently out of order. It’s not a one-time thing—this has happened many times, making it really difficult to get laundry done efficiently, especially when it’s busy.

Another ongoing issue is the change machine. There have been multiple instances where I’ve put in cash to get change, and the machine just takes the money without giving anything back. This is frustrating and feels like a total rip-off. It’s clearly not just a fluke—this has happened on several occasions.

Even worse, many of the dryers are in poor condition. Some of them have black, sticky, burned residue inside, which is not only disgusting but has actually damaged my clothes. When you’re drying expensive or delicate items, this is totally unacceptable.

Honestly, I think it’s time the owner takes some responsibility for the condition of this place. The machines need proper maintenance, and the dryers especially need to be cleaned and repaired. People are paying to use this service, and at the very least, we should expect machines that work and won’t ruin our clothes.

Until these issues are addressed, I can’t recommend this laundromat to anyone who values their time or their clothing.

It was acceptable but not super user-friendly. Management seemed kind and helpful, but the structure of the place and service is lacking. Doors lock at midnight, which limits access, only 2 large (10 load) washers and no large dryers. There are no options for paying with a credit card, and all machines need quarters....imagine having to pay $9 in quarters...time consuming. Other than these three points, it's all right.

This place is so dirty. I always have to thibnk twice before coming here. The machines are dusty. The whole place is full of garbage on the floor. Many machines do not work. We know they come everyday to put in change so.... why cant they pick a broom and sweep. The only reason i come here it's because it's close to my home.

Update 08/12/24:
Changing my review from 3 to 4 stars. This place has changed a lot since my first review. The older woman who works there (possibly the owner) is extremely kind and polite. The place could still use some cleaning but they now offer laundry washing service and even pick up and delivery.

Typically dirty. The whole place could use a good scrub! There are always several washers and dryers out of service, and worse, the change machines are often out of quarters! I use the place out of convenience but if given the choice I'd go somewhere else.

I wasn't very impressed many if the washers were out if order, some of the dryers as well and even the ones that were functional were still damaged and sometimes you couldn't get the door to latch.
Many of the machines were in use by the attendant, fulfilling orders. So once a few people arrived it was hard ro find a machine that worked.
The attendant, by the way was very friendly. Next time I will seek a larger laundromat.

I’ve been a customer at greers for many years now, I used to go to the one on Dorset street and befriend one of the lovely attendants Deb. After Dorset street closed I followed Deb to north avenue. The environment is much different then Dorset Street but deb does her best and powers through. She’s never flustered or upset when customers are yelling at her over many different issues. After long talk with her I’ve learned that recently greers has been going through an owner change and that’s why they are going though the machine issues lately. I recommend going here early in the morning or later in the afternoon when it’s less busy but if you get a chance to chat with Deb it’s worth it. Kudos to you Debbie ❤️
