Does exist...

...the Washing machine with a "big" number of "little-tables" inside... like a wardrobe? (+ compartments)

Poor Referencing

References 2 does not state that Nathaniel Briggs invented 'the washboard' in 1797, only that he patented a 'washing machine'. Reference 3 doesn't refer to Nathaniel Briggs in any way, so I'm not sure of the relevence of this reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Themustardbaron (talk • contribs) 06:33, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

modern washers - sanyo

theres a problem in this sentence: "In 2006, Sanyo introduced the "world-first" (as of February 2, 2006, with regards to home use drum-type washer/dryer) drum type washing machine with "Air Wash" function (i.e.: using ozone as disinfectant). It also reused and disinfected rinse water" the problem is one of the style used: it reeks of commercials' weasel worded and (in commercials) deliberate limited scope of statements, i.e.: World-first is used in the advertisment with explanation "*:as of February 2, 2006, with regards to home use drum-type washer/dryer" which alleviates responsibility from the advertiser without further elaborating what kind of "firstness" is meant - it could be by sales numbers, or by some unrevealed consumers' survey or anything else, what it lcearly does not mean is being simply first as in laymans' terms meant by first occasion of using a technology. Also "air- wash" is a buzz word, without a fixed meaning outside the advertisments text, therefore it would be better to not use it at all in the encyclopedia, instead the explanation given in the ad e.g: disinfect the clothes with ozone should be used, however the technicalities would be welcome in an encyclopedical article even though they are understandibly not included in the advertisment - this is another argument against relaying on advertisments when collecting data for an encyclopedia. what i did - corrected the unresponsible and misinterpreted use of the source by putting "world-first" as used in the source and adding "ozone" as used in the source to the "air wash" buzzword, but even a text conscious use of the source is not really a good solution because the source itself is not fit for use in an encyclopedia, however since finding good source material is beyond my personal limit, i did not replace the source for the article. if theres an editor capable of doing so, it would be highly recommended however. imho. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 16:05, 16 December 2018 (UTC).

also "This washing machine uses only 50 L (11.0 imp gal; 13.2 US gal) of water in the recycle mode. " is a useless sleight of hand played with uncomparable numbers until there is a comparison for all (or at least most) other washing maschines on the same feature. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 16:10, 16 December 2018 (UTC).
