washing machine

Automatic laundry appliance

A washing machine is an appliance that cleans clothing and linens by agitating them in water with detergent.

The standard household version uses a rotating drum; commercial and industrial machines handle larger loads.

I need to throw these towels in the washing machine.

Also called a washer.
