The WashDryIron Machine

BBC: Design may be housewives' choice

A new machine which washes, dries and irons clothes could clean up for a Devon student.

Oliver Blackwell, who designed the WashDryIron, is exhibiting the machine at next month's Ideal Home Show.

The University of Plymouth graduate hopes the machine will become an object of desire because it saves about 10 days a year in ironing time.

It can tackle up to 16 items at a time, including king-size bed sheets.

The machine is expected to retail for around £800-900. [via]
