laundry appliance

A powered household appliance that launders textiles by mechanically agitating, rinsing, spinning or tumble-drying a drum of clothes — the common parent of the clothes washing machine (which wets, agitates and spin-extracts) and the clothes dryer (which tumbles warm air through a load to remove moisture). Beyond the power, noise, energy grade and installation type any powered product states, every laundry appliance answers the mass of dry laundry it processes in a load (its kg drum capacity) and how that drum is loaded (front or top). It does not itself fix how the load is treated — that question splits by kind (a washing machine states a spin speed and water use; a dryer states a drying technology), which is why those slots live on the children, not here. A structural refinement of the powered tier (L3), not a procurement or retail tier (L8); a dishwasher is NOT a member (it washes tableware by place settings, not textiles by kilograms) but a sibling appliance kind.
