UniMac commercial washer prices in the UAE are not a single number. The same brand covers compact 7 kg soft-mount machines for small hotels and 280 kg industrial washer extractors for central laundries, so the price of a UniMac commercial washer depends on capacity, mounting type, controls and what your site needs for installation. This guide explains the seven factors that set the cost, so you can compare quotations properly before you buy.
Why UniMac commercial washer prices vary so much
UniMac is the industrial and on-premise laundry brand of Alliance Laundry Systems, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial laundry equipment. The range is wide on purpose. A hotel laundry, a hospital with barrier-washer requirements and a facilities management company serving labour camps all need different machines, and the price follows the specification.
When you ask for UniMac commercial washer prices, a good supplier will first ask about your daily load, your available power and water, and how many hours a day the machine will run. The answers decide the model, and the model decides the price.
7 factors that decide UniMac commercial washer prices
1. Drum capacity
Capacity is the biggest driver of UniMac commercial washer prices. A 10 kg to 18 kg washer suits a small hotel or clinic. Hotels with 150 or more rooms usually need 35 kg to 65 kg machines, and industrial laundries move up to 100 kg and above. Each step up in capacity adds motor size, frame strength and drum volume, and the price rises with it.
2. Soft-mount or hard-mount
Soft-mount washer extractors, such as the UniMac UY series, have built-in suspension and can be installed on upper floors without a special foundation. They also spin faster, which removes more water and cuts drying time. Hard-mount machines sit at the lower end of UniMac commercial washer prices for a given capacity. Models such as the UC series cabinet washers, cost less up front but need a solid concrete base.
3. Extraction speed (G-force)
Higher G-force means more water is removed in the final spin. A high-extract machine costs more than a standard-extract model of the same capacity, but it saves energy on every dryer cycle for the life of the machine. For a laundry running two shifts, the difference pays for itself.
4. Controls
UniMac offers simple controls and advanced UniLinc touch controls. Advanced controls let managers program cycles for different linen types, track water and chemical use and reduce operator mistakes. They add to the price but give better control of running costs.
5. Heating type and utilities
Electric-heated washers are the most common in the UAE. Steam-heated models suit laundries that already have a boiler. The power supply at your site (1 phase or 3 phase) also affects which model can be installed.
6. Barrier and medical options
Hospitals and clinics often need barrier washers, such as the UniMac UB series, which separate the soiled and clean sides of the laundry. These machines cost more than standard washers because of the extra door and construction.
7. Installation, warranty and local support
A quotation that includes delivery, positioning, connection and commissioning is not the same as a bare machine price. Ask whether the supplier has trained technicians in the UAE and keeps spare parts in stock. Downtime costs a laundry far more than a small saving on the purchase price, as explained in our guide on how to reduce laundry equipment downtime.

UniMac commercial washer prices: frequently asked questions
Is a UniMac commercial washer worth the price?
For a laundry that runs every day, yes. UniMac commercial washer prices are higher than light commercial machines, but the machines are built for continuous commercial use, with heavy frames, industrial bearings and controls designed to reduce operator error. The higher purchase price is usually recovered through lower utility bills, fewer breakdowns and a longer working life.
Does the price include VAT?
Abelco quotations show 5% UAE VAT separately so you can see the machine price clearly.
What is the payment term?
Equipment orders are confirmed with payment in advance, and delivery is subject to stock availability. Some models are held in stock in the UAE; others are ordered from the factory, so ask about lead time when you request a price.
