Yes, not sure it warrented such an extreme reaction, and a lot of people are allergic to Bio Detergent 🙂
I guess we shouldn’t get you started on plans for self cleaning clothes with dirt eating bacteria… 🙂

You’ve followed the party line from the manufacturers and, basically, a lot of it is utter rubbish. In short it takes at least two to two and a half years to offset the cost of production in carbon/emissions/energy use to produce a new washer, not including the transportation and power generation to make it or the cost in energy terms to manufacturer components not produced in that facility. That is in a state-of-the-art German facility, not a knock ’em out shop in China or Poland.
See thats the kind of feedback I was looking for; why I wanted to speak to the real experts rather than repeating a company line.
I’ve no idea if Ethical Websites is connected with Kelkoo at all! I agree they use the same website design and wouldn’t be surprised if they sold their website template to them or some such.
Thanks for the link to the ISE, with permission I’ll include it in the second draft, and a link to your esteemed pages to fight the information monopoly. 8)
And yes, you are a cynical bunch! Every link I include you think I’m making a sales pitch for! Well I admit its all true, I’m a spokesmen for the Dutch tourist board, come see our Giant Lego Man

The smell issue is a good point, who wants stinking clean clothes (sounds like my local laundrette).
I wonder if the ionization process takes a lot more energy as well than a conventional machine.

I have to write a general article on washing machines for average laymen such as myself, who may be looking to replace their washing machine.
Please feel free to PM me if the comments aren’t appropriate for the open forum, I’m basically interested in proofreading from people who know what they’re talking about.
I only write about the Wash20 Machine since it seemed a new development in washing machines, I’m not affiliated with them, can’t speak French. 🙂
If it gets good feedback I may send it to the washerhelp website, the Kelkoo site, Shopping.com, DooYoo etc. and mostly include them to refer to my sources as I researched the article.
The feedback so far seems to think its a sales pitch for Wash20! Perhaps take out that link?
I do disagree that the majority of the general public do not care on how good, reliable or energy saving their machine is, its a factor that will get more and more important I believe, certainly with the next generation. There is already a green orientated website for web goods (Ethical Washing Machines?) which I found on the first page of Google whilst researching the article.
As for internet nerds, well maybe this article can help in their decision so they don’t just look for the cheapest, fastest spin and biggest load and actually get a machine that lasts!
