Small Load?

 For when you only have a single wear of clothes to wash.

Because of the appalling waste of energy that a small wash load causes, Eco Appliances brings you Small Load?. It's the washing machine which fits just one set of clothes at a time.

Quiet and unobtrusive yet powerful enough to remove the worst ground-in stains, Small Load whips through your wash in just 12 minutes. Using the very latest in electronic technology it can spin the water out of your clothes at an astonishing 10,000 rpm, balanced by a counterrotating spindle.. They then take just 2 minutes exposure to the air to dry to the point where they can be worn again.

Powered by any regular source of electricity in whatever country you happen to be in (identified using the nearest atomic clock), it also saves the environment from damage as much as possible. Patented wash balls means no damaging phosphate-based detergents are necessary either. Just 1 litre of water required for the wash.

Small Load? is ideal for singles, busy executives who forgot to pack a spare shirt for that surprise meeting whilst on a business junket and anyone who's ever gone to the gym and forgotten to take a spare pair of knickers.

Small Load? fits in a normal lawyer's briefcase with room to spare for a magazine and an apple (and whatever else it is that self-important wallies carry in briefcases).

       Counteract the rotation with a motor with a shaft parallel to the first, spinning in the opposite direction.

       Or hire a whirling dervish

       I've seen more WIBNIesque ideas that have passed... Anyway, carry around a cocktail shaker and some soap, problem solved, plus you get to work out those Biceps.

       Based on the title, I thought this was going to be another toilet cubicle-related idea.
