Примитивные стиральные машины представляли собой деревянный ящик с подвижной рамой.Первая стиральная машина, запущенная в серийное производство, была создана в 1907 году Уильямом Блэкстоуном, у неё был ручной привод (идут слухи что первую сделал Натаниель БРИГС (Nathaniel Briggs)). В Европе первые стиральные машины начали производить немцы в 1900 г . Современные машины с электрическим приводом появились в 1908 году. Механизация труда практически привела к исчезновению профессии прачки. В 1949 в США появилась первая автоматическая стиральная машина. Primitive washing machines were a wooden box with a movable frame. The first washing machine, launched in series production, was created in 1907 by William Blackstone, it had a manual drive (there are rumors that the first was made by Nathaniel Briggs). In Europe, the first washing machines were started by the Germans in 1900. Modern machines with electric drive appeared in 1908. The mechanization of labor has practically led to the disappearance of the profession of a laundress. In 1949 the first automatic washing machine appeared in the USA.
