FORM OVER FUNCTION

My apartment has a new front loading washing machine. I am certain that this idea came from a man.

Clothes that are really dirty need to soak for a while before you restart the washer to finish the load. This is not possible with a front loading machine, because it does not hold the water in a tub.

It is hard to get out the heavy, wet, tangled clothes, which are way below the level that they would be in a regular washer.

I am certain that eventually the washer will leak through the front door. I am certain of this because the neato moon roof on cars eventually leaks.

Also, you can not open the washer to throw in more clothes.

BUT IT LOOKS REALLY COOL because the washer and dryer can match exactly.

On TV I see ads for a vacuum cleaner which I KNOW was designed by a man. It spins the dirt or some such thing. However, in my experience, it is impossible to take the dirt out of a vacuum without getting dirt up your nose unless the dirt is contained in a vacuum bag.

BUT HEY, doesn't it LOOK COOL with its see through container.
