They do and will randomly kill people

Mostly from dryers. I assumed mostly from failure to clean the lint but the following link suggested that that was the cause only 27% of the time.

In the table from the Pdf link failure to clean was the only category that resulted in deaths.

Dawg what kind of washing machines are you using?

In 1825? Certainly not one that ran on electricity, much less something that had meaningful safety features.

I used to play with a Maytag machine machine motor. It had a single cylinder, ran on gasoline, and had a kick-start. It was from, IIRC, 1926.

The exhaust would have been plumbed to the outdoors, but other than that the expectation was that there would be a gas-fired engine running in the house while the washing was done.
