Your washing machine is likely an order of magnitude more efficient than you. A cycle in my machine consumes something like 0.2kWh.

Last I checked humans don't consume electricity what's-o-ever.

You make a good point but I do have some excess fat stored that I need to shed lol

And 0.2 kWh? Always cold water and barely any spin? I'm firmly middle aged and can't get my head around people washing bed linen etc at cold temperatures and not worrying about dustmites etc.

But maybe it was a lie all along to get us to use more energy.
