Eli5 – Why aren’t washing machines spherical?

676 views

Why are they cylindrical shape and not ball shape. Would that not be better for more random movement of the items inside and therefore be better for washing them?

In addition to what everyone else said if you use a spherical washing chamber you now have to invent a way to make sure that the door always ends up in the correct place when the cycle is finished while also having a way to make sure that the sphere actually is watertight
