Ode to A French Washing Machine

I have been living comfortably in France for several months now and I am completely enamoured with the washing machine in this apartment.

Features of the machine:

• Tumbles my clothes instead of using that shape destroying spindle.
• Washes the clothes longer but my clothes don't seem to fade nearly as fast.
• Uses 40-60% less water (apparently, according to Wifflepedia.)
• Uses 30-50% less energy (Ibid, but you might want to confirm here.)
• My clothes are dryer when I take them out.
• The one in our apartment is not very noisy when I think of the freight train sound box at my mom's house.

Compared with North American machines, I see nothing wrong at all with this washing machine, permit me to incite groans but I would say that it is a total wet dream.

I'm happy to have been acquainted with
a more ecologically-sound, practical,
and efficient machine.
