User reviews

I would gladly pay to not use Washlava

Ignoring the fact that this app has no reason to exist and that MIT switched to using Washlava for laundry without any clear reason, Washlava has numerous issues. Frequently, we students pay for and start a dryer cycle, only to return an hour later to find that the clothes are both damp and cold; no attempt at drying was even made. And then, what can one do besides pay for another cycle and pray that it works this time? At this point, 5/8 dryers in our dorm are unusable and Washlava technicians have never been able to solve the issue. Not even going to get into the connection issues of the app. It’s so bad. Please never use this if you can.

Difficult to log in and connect

Just hard to use

Pointless app with that scams users

First part of the title is self explanatory. There’s no reason an organization should ever need to use this app. The app doesn’t add any convenience over cash or credit card payments. The scamming part is a whole different story. Washlava does not allow you to change any settings on the washing machines until you’ve already payed for it. While this may not seem bad at first, the problem is that you have no way of knowing if the machines actually work. You could very well end up paying to wash your clothes and having to switch machines because the cycle won’t start or you can’t change to the settings you need. Happened to me twice out of the 3 times I’ve used the app. If you see an apartment, dorm, etc. using this app, take that into account before moving in because laundry will be a hassle for sure.
