It’s probably not going to get the job done if you spent your day wallowing around in a pigsty, but for reasonably soiled garments, this washing machine from Russell Hobbs has a ‘super rapid’ mode that can clean an entire load in just 12 minutes! The secret is apparently a twin jet system which blasts the load with water and detergent at the same time using two separate nozzles.
Not only does it apparently offer a better wash, but it can also reduce water usage by 15%. And since it’s running less, it also reduces energy consumption by 30%. That equates to saving the average family about 212,415 gallons of water over a lifetime, and 2 years and 4 months of time spent waiting for the washer to finish. That’s time that can be better spent living life and dirtying more laundry! ~$400 (£247) for the 7kg model pictured above, and ~$520 (£320) for a 9kg model.

Great site and I look forward to checking out your updates!
12 minutes? oh no… i will never believe in that. is it magical? i dont think so.. 12 minutes is just …unreal time for cleaning. even if i see that in my own eyes i cant say that i would believe…
These are great machines and I have owned the graphite russell hobbs model for 6 months now. 12 minute cycle is great if you want to wash a couple of tops but any more and it isn’t amazing. Still clothes are fresh and suprisingly quite dry when they come out. Other normal cycles are fantastic.
