Well, that's a gross exaggeration, as we have energy efficient machines
here in the USA (modeled after the European ones, no doubt) that are
very close in efficiency. I have a Sears front loader washer that takes
1/3rd the electric and water of my previous unit.

Do you mean 1/3 compared to a traditional top loader? Cos ours dont use
anywhere near that much.

Yes, 1/3 of the traditional top loader of equivalent size.
