Is folding clothes a hassle for you? Then you may want to investigate this crock of shite:
https://www.ebuyer.com/blog/2018/01/laundry-folding-machine/?a=1&utm_content=machine&utm_campaign=5620|2018-01-16%2009&utm_source=daily_deals_0&utm_medium=email&cid=5620&mid=319577552
How does this improve things? The article seems to suggest that you'd take the laundered clothes once dry and load them into this thing. What if they needed ironing? This device doesn't seem feature a pressing option. I guess they want you to iron your clothes, then perform the human equivalent of what the machine does to stack them in a pile so you can pick the clothes one by one to then 'clip' your laundry into it.
Anyone who's ever dealt with a printer will sympathise with dude who's commented on that article, I'm not risking my Thundercats t-shirt in a glorified mangle. There's not a video of it actually working either, so I reckon there's a certain amount of taurine faeces associated with this.

I don't fold my laundry. I throw it in a pile.

Besides, I thought you were posting about this:

when I glimpsed some similar press-release-turned-into-tech-blog "article" I assumed it must be aimed at laundry services, but those photos suggest they think people will put it in their homes?
I dunno, there's a lot of rich idiots out there buying things like 'raw water' but this seems a tough sell.

those same idiots tend to like avoiding human contact if they can, it might still work for 'em.

What does Mrs. D think about that?
I did have the folding at home (and work) application a few years ago, but for some reason never reinstalled it on recent PCs. That's something to get back into.

Raw water? I wasn't aware of the craze, but after the obligatory google, found an article saying that some rich hippies are buying a jugful at £25 a pop.

"What does Mrs. D think about that?"
Out of sight, out of mind. She will sometimes comment "that is too wrinkled to wear to work" on garments fetched from the bottom of the pile.

Come the times where I can't be arsed ironing a shirt, I'll pop a fleece over the top and go to work like that.
