That’s what the timer on our washing machine reads when you set it for a load of cottons. Yikes!

I am accustomed to the 30-minute washes of our old, standard American washing machine. However, I am also accustomed to mammoth quarterly water bills and waiting for the dryer to catch up with the washing machine, load for load, so I can easily live with the change an efficient and small washing machine will bring. I hope we’ll process laundry more frequently, too. Meanwhile, Greg can go shopping for cured meats and dark bread and pretend we’re living in Malmö or Heidelberg and all will be right with the world.

    It takes a full hour for the little Bosch Elves to hand scrub all of the cottons. Btw, I think we had a Bosch at our apartment in Paris. Or a Miele. All the same. I don’t think the French make fancy little washing machines.

    Oh, while I’m at it, the total electricity cost for the machine, with gas water heater, 8 loads per week, is $11/year. Those are some efficient elves.
