> but with a washing machine, the machine is already doing 95% of the work!
Not sure how literal you were here or if it's more a feeling thing to you: My washing machine takes 1-2 hours per run. I don't believe you (or anyone else) can do all other attached work in 5 Minutes, or anywhere close to it.
You're defining work as a function only of time, but effort should also be calculated in.
If you didn't have a washing machine, it would probably take more than 2 hours, and definitely take far more effort.
