The washing machine is an important and popular invention all over the world. You can find one in most homes and lots of people can't live without it. But did you know that the washing machine is actually very old?

Jacob Christian Schäffer invented his first washing machine in Germany in 1767. In 1782, Henry Sidgier built a washing machine in Britain. These designs were made out of wood and had handles that turned clothes round and round.

In the 1800s, inventors took the idea to the next level. The inventions in this period became very strange. There were fantastic machines, like the wooden washing machine of American inventor William Clark's in 1871, for people on the go. This washing machine had huge wheels like a cart and people could use horses to take it with them while they traveled. Another fun design was Sarah Sewell's washing machine in 1885. Sarah hated chores, just like the rest of us, and decided to combine childcare and laundry together. She built a special wooden washing machine with a large seesaw, so when her children played, they would power the machine!

The first electric washing machines arrived in the early 1900s. One of them was Thor by Alva J. Fisher in 1908. Later, in the 1930's, inventors created the first automatic washing machines. These machines looked like the washing machines that we have in our homes today.
