Cathy’s Express Laundromat

Clean, but expensive.
$ 2.75 a wash for front loaders only. Seems small (they say a full load but that’s not true).
.25÷8 minutes for dryers. That seems average.
My laundry pods didn’t dissolve in the «quick wash» so I ended up doing it twice and paying twice. If you want a «hot» or «cold» wash its $ 3.00.
Won’t be back, sorry.

My favorite laundromat! It’s usually very clean and the machines are fast and very easy to use. I especially like the pre wash sanitizing feature on the washers. The dryers actually get a whole load of jeans dry in a matter of minutes. One time, I did have a problem and called the number on the sign. I got an immediate response and fix to my problem right away. They are very nice.

The first two times I went, it was great. I could bring my laptop and work while I waited for my laundry. The last 3 time, I’ve had to switch machines several times after the credit card reader didn’t work. In some cases it’s because of the Internet not working, but others the machines are just broken. Either way, this past stop in was my last. Too much of a headache.

Easy to use, efficient front-​loaders, dryers that actually dry… reasonably priced. They have plenty of washers and dryers and can take card or have a cash machine that works. The windows onto 3^rd make it nice and bright inside and the folding tables are located in the light of the windows. All in all, exactly what you need from a laundromat.

Love this place! Their pay options are very convenient (debit cards, quarters, or my vip card which gives me free washes when I load $ onto it). It’s pretty clean, and cheaper than other places I’ve been. I had one issue with a dryer not functioning for the first time since I’ve been coming here. I called the service line and they called me right back and refunded my money.
We are definitely loyal and happy customers!

Super clean location with spanking new machines, and easy parking. This is one of the cleanest, nicest laundromats that I’ve used. The new machines run with quarters like every other laundry mat you’ve been to, and you can also use plastic to do laundry. Credit or debit. Super convenient.

I went here for the first time 6 months ago and thought it was decent – clean and efficient enough for a laundromat. Since then, it has gone downhill significantly. The credit/​debit card readers have gone from unreliable to absolutely inoperable. The people have gone from quiet and pleasant to frustrated and hysterical over faulty machines. And the once clean interior now looks like the inside of a dumpster. Also, if you call the service number to report an issue with a machine, you receive a text message saying there’s nothing wrong.
Avoid this place at all costs!

Every single medium siZe washer is clogged up with rock hard detergent, blocking the liquid detergent from washing. Thus, door is locked for 25 minutes and the horrendous price tag of six bucks (most expensive laundromat in the nation) is spent on nothing but your lost valuable time and money.
Additionally, they at Cathy’s Eco Laundromat did not feel it was important to call me back, so since it was not fixed, I’ve let the planet and it’s 7 billion people know NOT TO COME HERE FOR LAUNDROMAT SERVICES… It’s a rip-​off.

Very clean and modern. Well lit with excellent, modern washers and dryers. I was able to complete two loads in a bout 30 minutes! The dryer works at $.25 for 7 minutes, and that was great for a light load. Easy to find location in a favorable part of town. However, the card machines are not user friendly and were difficult to use. Even when the directions were followed i was not charged the proper amount.

The machines are new and good quality.
Free wi-​fi (VERY slow!) and the machines can text you when they are done — which is good if you leave. We didn’t try that nifty little feature tho.
BUT… It’s a small place, no bathroom and a VERY small area to fold in. There’s is no sink either if you spill and need to clean up or prewash anything.
So… Here’s an interesting thing. The individual machines can take cash or a credit card or a combination of the two. Pretty convenient. HOWEVER, it states that there will be an additional $ 15 transaction «hold» added to the card. It states that this will drop off within a day or two and you will only be charged the exact amount of your transaction. But that could be a problem for those with limited funds.
If this is the only game in town I guess we’ll be back. Otherwise, we’ll be going elsewhere.

The Short Review: Cathy’s Cleaners bought this old, dingy ‘mat and made it first-​class, with modern eco-​friendly machines and a clean, pleasant environment.
Yeah, I’m too cheap to buy my own washer/​dryer. Why would you when (in every big city I’ve lived in) there are modern laundromats where you can do your entire wardrobe in one large machine, and be in and out in an hour or so.
Sadly, the laundry scene in Bend has. well, quite frankly, sucked. Up until recently, there was scant few places to do laundry that wasn’t either depressingly maintained or on the pricey side. I was very surprised to hear a radio ad for Cathy’s Cleaners mentioning they had a new ‘mat, so I eagerly collected my clothes and headed over.
And I wasn’t disappointed, it was everything you’d expect from a modern laundromat, including a card-​based payment system so you don’t have to fidget with quarters; free WiFi; and clean efficient machines. And the prices are competitive with the other laundromats around town.
If there’s a downside, it’s they don’t have any conventional single-​load top loaders. Sometimes you just have a real small load of whites you want to bleach the heck out of (I do this regularly with white towels, for example), and it barely comes to a single load. Spending a double-​loader price for this kinda sucks. But, that’s not most people’s usage scenario.
There is one pet peeve of mine that you often find on these modern ‘mats that use card payment systems: you still need quarters to operate the soap (and other) vendors. C’mon, guys, you have everything else taking credit cards and your own stored-​value card: let me swipe for a box of soap or maybe a Dr. Pepper. Oh, and you can’t add cash to your stored-​value card. the only way to use the stored value card is to «register» online and pay with a credit/​debit card on the website. There’s no cash acceptance station like. say, the car wash on Greenwood has.
But these few downsides are just minor inconveniences. Cathy’s hits the mark: a good, clean laundromat with modern machines and not the least bit dark and depressing, at a price that’s fair.
