The coin acceptor can be configured for any single denomination. **Q: Can I set any price per load?** A: Yes. You configure a price-per-coin, then set how many coins are required. Examples: 1 quarter = $0.25, 4 quarters = $1.00, 12 quarters = $3.00. Any whole-dollar amount works. **Q: What do most customers charge per load?** A: Washer: $3/load. Dryer: $1 per 10 minutes. Some landlords with 1-4 tenants charge $5/wash (includes dryer use) and skip buying a separate dryer timer. **Q: Can I set any time duration?** A: Yes — Seconds: 0-99, Minutes: 1-90, Hours: 1-99. **Q: Does it work with gas dryers?** A: Yes. Use the 110V model for gas dryers (gas dryers use 110V plugs). **Q: Does it work with commercial washers and dryers?** A: Yes. Custom configurations with metal enclosures, upgraded wiring, and heavy-duty components are available for commercial installations. **Q: Does it work with combination washer-dryer units?** A: Yes. Single 220V plug combo units need one 220V timer. Dual-plug combos (110V washer + 220V dryer) need two timers. **Q: What currency are purchases billed in?** A: All purchases for USA, Canada, and South America are billed in USD. **Q: How does the credit card payment option work?** A: Tenants scan a QR code or visit a URL, enter the timer ID, and pay with any credit/debit card via Stripe. The timer activates automatically after payment confirms. **Q: Can I speak to an existing customer?** A: Yes, references available upon request. Contact us at +1-647-931-1829. **Q: Are the components safety tested?** A: We ship worldwide.
