The pitch is utilities: a 405 G-force spin pulls out more water, so dryers run less and gas bills drop, and customers finish faster. In a market with high water or gas costs, a Continental floor can carry a lower operating cost than the square footage suggests.
Checking a used Continental Girbau store
- High-spin machines put more load on bearings and suspension — check both on high-hour E-Series units.
- Confirm the payment system in use and that it is compatible with your planned coin/card/app setup.
- Verify remaining ContinentalCare coverage (10/4/3-year) and transferability.

Continental Girbau FAQ
Why do people pay more for Continental Girbau?
Higher extraction. Up to 405 G-force removes more water, which cuts drying time and gas cost and lets customers finish laundry in under an hour. Over years of operation that utility saving adds up.
What does the ContinentalCare warranty cover?
It is a 10/4/3-year structure (longest on major components, shorter on parts and labor). Confirm exact terms and what is left on any used machine on the manufacturer's warranty document.
Is Continental Girbau widely serviced?
It is distributed and serviced through Continental's dealer network. Parts and service are available, but the network is smaller than Speed Queen's, so confirm a local servicing distributor before you buy a Continental store.
