Pronunciation: Wish-ee-wash-er

Sentence: Betty Bygone was furious when her washing machine broke down, it was the third new one she had purchased in eighteen months.

Nowadays you would be lucky if anything lasted more than six months she thought to herself as she browsed the net looking for yet another machine.
