Dexter delivers the most valuable products available. Here are just a few of the reasons.
Invensys controls
We’re partners with the world’s largest appliance control manufacturer. Dexter’s A-Series washers have a new inverter rated motor that is more efficient than those in older two-speed models. This motor brings greater efficiency by handling the voltage spikes that can occur with traditional two-speed motors and utilizes better wiring, an improved winding design and decreased mechanical losses. This also reduces the internal heat that builds up during use and helps the A-Series motors meet maximum efficiency standards.
Energy Conservation
For a washer to consume less power, you need a motor that operates in a more efficient manner and that has greater controls over power usage. In a Dexter A-Series washer, the variable frequency drive controls the rate at which the motor accelerates to a required speed. It also has parameter settings that can limit the current draw during this acceleration time period. This controlled peak demand can lower electricity rates, helping laundry owners save money.
Water Conservation
Dexter’s new “sump-free” design adds even more water savings than ever before.
Palm Software
Each Dexter comes with an infra-red port capable of communicating with a handheld computer running optional Dexter software. Simply point your handheld at the machine, download the cycle information, and make your changes. It’s no longer necessary to open your machines, change jumper wires, or remember programming steps!
100% Employee Owned
The employee ownership culture of Dexter fosters a sense of teamwork, pride and quality not found anywhere else in the industry. From engineering to manufacturing to sales, our staff has a vested interest in making Dexter products the best available.
1000 Hour Tests
Our engineers use, abuse and try to destroy a mechanical design before ever calling it a Dexter. We assume the very worst operating conditions and engineer accordingly. For example all Dexter washers have to pass a 1000 hour out of balance durability test. for this test, we take half the rated capacity for a machine, place it one section of the cylinder, and run the washer at its highest spin speed for 42 days non-stop. No component can fail.
Every washer design that Dexter sells has passed this test. Your customers can rest easy knowing that their new Dexters can handle even the most careless laundry customers for years to come.
“Over-Built” Designs
Lasting quality means you’re investing versus spending on equipment. All Dexter laundry equipment is built using heavy-duty, over-sized, commercial rated components. Our machines are designed to run efficiently, continuously, 24 hours per day. Cycle after cycle, year after year. Dexter machines show up for work ready to face the tough elements of a self service laundry.
Proven History and Reputation
With over 100 years of innovative products and thousands of successful laundries built worldwide, Dexter has the established credibility you need when selling customers product.
Installation Friendly
To save you installation time and money we engineered washers that operate on single or three phase power that requires smaller electrical circuits and draws fewer AMPS. These features alone can save you thousands on upgrades from your local electric company.

Dexter Express Washers Dexter Express Washers extract with a G-Force of 200. This is means that Dexter Express Washers remove water with 200 times the force of gravity, and twice the G-force of our regular washers! This added extract force saves a store owners money by removing more water from the clothes load in the washer and decreasing drying time and dryer energy usage. Depending on the type of fabric being washed the additional extract can remove as much as 20 - 25% more water from the clothes load!
To help store owners communicate the improved performance offered by Express washers, Dexter has developed special decals that can be added to a store’s Express washers. One of the key benefits of using a vended laundry is the ability to do a lot of laundry in a short time. The improve spin-out performance of Express washers helps customers “Get Done Faster”! Customers appreciate the how fast they can get in and get out, and store owners appreciate having the machines available for the next customers. A true WIN – WIN!
Dexter has long been a leader in improving equipment efficiency. Both the water efficiency and overall energy efficiency of the T-300 Express and the T-400 Express meet Consortium for Energy Efficiency tier 1 specifications and DOE Energy Star MEF (modified energy factor) performance qualification criteria. Because of details in CEE and DOE eligibility criteria that preclude the listing of rigid-mount washers, these models are not listed on the various websites, however the performance does meet these criteria and may be eligible for rebates for products meeting these levels of efficiency.
Express washers are available in 18lb, 25lb, and 45lb capacities. When store owners consider purchasing Express washers, they realize that Express means performance, but something they may not know is that in order to handle the tremendous stresses that come with 200 G-force, that each Express model is built on the framework of Dexter’s next largest size. A T-300 Express is built on the framework of a regular T-400, and T-400 Express is built on the framework of a regular T-600, and the T-650 Express is built on the framework of a regular T-900. And true to the Dexter brand, each 200 G-Force design has passed the famous Dexter 1000 test, and is ready to deliver many years of reliable service. |
