**Remove the restrictions on washing machines in the name of efficiency **
For years now, the government haa changed our household appliances in the name of making them more energy efficient. However, their regulations have only made our appliances more expensive, less effective and less reliable. My old washing machine used to have TRUE agitation that would actually get clothes clean. These new washers barely move the clothes around, but the way they operate only serves to twist and distort my clothes. Also, I used to be able to run a load of wash in 30 minutes or less. Now it takes over an hour to wash a liad of clothes. All of the new computer technology and fancy parts are not built to last. My old washer kasted 14 years without a single issue. It was reliable, had true agitation and always got my clothes clean within 30 minutes. My new washer barely moves the clothes around, takes an hour to wash and my clothes are never cleaned thoroughly and they are always twisted in knots. I have had my current washer for 6 years and it is having issues that will probably cost hundreds to fix.
I just want the government to back off of regulating everything to the point where appliances are three times as expensive, three times less effective and have a much lower life span because of how cheaply they are manufactured.
