Dear native speakers,
Would you call a washing machine an 'apparatus' ?
Thank you very much in advance for your answer.
Kind regards |

Hi,
Sure, why not. Anything that has a specific function is an apparatus. A washing machine is a clothes washing apparatus. I probably wouldn`t use it regularly in conversation, but there is nothing wrong with it.
