If washing machines could be turned up to 11 à la Spinal Tap, your clothes might get a bit cleaner -- but the kitchen would be a considerably more dangerous place.
We know this because the latest crazy viral video shows what happens when groups of Australian 'thrill-seekers' supercharged a Hotpoint.
After affixing the washing machine to a wooden pallet, the group ran extra power through it using a Yamabishi 10A Variac at 300V max.
This meant that the machine tore itself to pieces as it juddered and shook … and that was before they started throwing metal parts into it.
