This Russell Hobbs washing machine will wash a load in just 12 minutes
Picture this: Youre ready to leave the house for a hot date, but inexplicably youre also about to bite into a slice of garlic bread, which is soaked with delicious melted butter. The oily gunk runs over your fingers and drips onto your freshly laundered pants. What do you do?
If you own a new Russell Hobbs washing machine, then you can just toss those pants inside, hit the go button and wait a mere 12 minutes for them to come out clean. Thats right 12 minutes. This is apparently the fastest wash-cycle around. Of course, if you are only washing one pair of pants, then hand-washing would be quicker, but the Russell Hobbs machine can do a full 7Kg (15.4 pound) load in that time.
The magic comes from two jets which spray in water and detergent together, and the savings arent just measured in time. The washer uses 15% less water than equivalent models and thanks to those short washing times it also uses 30% less electricity.
Lucky you: your evening has just been saved. Well, almost. Youre still going to have to pick up your date whilst wearing wet pants and with breath that reeks of garlic, but at least you wont be late. And all this for just 280, or $460.
