User:Cobrajet 429/List of washing machines

This is a list of washing machines. A washing machine is a home appliance used to wash laundry. The term is mostly applied to machines that use water as opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids and is performed by specialist businesses) or ultrasonic cleaners. The user adds laundry detergent, which is sold in liquid or powder form, to the wash water. Washing Machines, which are used in homes, public laundromats as well as in industry, exist in a variety of sizes and models.
