Hoover is now producing a rather curious washing machine. It's a top-loader, but the drum still rotates about a horizontal axis. That axis actually runs left-to-right, so the drum is turned 90 degrees compared to a conventional front-loading machine.

You have to open the lid on top, then turn the drum around until you get to the opening hatch on it. I first saw one of these in Comet a few months ago, and it sure looked an odd arrangement. The machine is only 16" wide though, so I guess it might be handy for narrow spaces.
