Are there no companies out there making ultra-efficient household appliances even when they aren't being forced to?

Oh yeah. Have been for a while. I run into them a lot when I’m in Italy and still haven’t used one that worked well. Unless you want a load of laundry to take half a day. Then they work fine.
