We are in this business together for years, but here are some interesting facts that you may not know about the washing machine:
– 2.6 million washing machines per year are sold in the UK
– In Europe, more households own washing machines than cars
– In 1949, the average price of a washing machine was about £60
– Bendix Corporation introduced the first domestic automatic washing machine in 1937Just wondering if you could add some more 🙂
Re: Did you know…4 interesting facts about the washing mac
I have always believed (so someone must have told me this ) that the energy rating only has to be attained on one cycle (e.g A++)
I suppose it makes sense why manufacturers highlight sometimes ,on the console panel, an ECO cycle in green then the energy rating will be printed in green somewhere on the machine somewhat linking them
Customers think they are buying an energy efficient machine but they are buying an energy efficient wash cycle!!! Truth is none of them ever use that Eco cycle because it takes too long ? They all use the inefficient intensive quick wash THINKING it is A++ or whatever ! I don’t have the heart to tell them !!!!!Re: Did you know…4 interesting facts about the washing mac
99.9{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of owners don’t actually know how to use them correctly or ever read the manual.

Re: Did you know…4 interesting facts about the washing mac
Prior to the EU Directive on energy consumption for washing machines was introduced in 1992 most maximum load cotton cycles took on average just one hour. After 1992 cycle times were increase two-fold. Since the revised EU directive of 2011 the cycle times are almost 3 times longer than they were in 1992.
A typical 8kg cottons wash now takes on average 2 hrs 47mins. 🙁
