    Got a source to back those claims up?

    Are those dollar values normalized to the same year?

    You going off data or just vibes, because the only thing here that feels questionable at best is your post.

      20+ years in the appliance repair industry.

      In the 1970s a residential clothing washer would run for about 40 minutes at the max setting pulling 120 volts and 5 amps. Albeit they used more water to clean the cloths faster.

      A modern front load washer now runs for about 2 hours for a regular wash at the same 120 volts and 5 amps. Although we are saving water we recycle anyway…
