A new machine which washes, dries and irons clothes could clean up for a Devon student.
Oliver Blackwell, who designed the WashDryIron, is exhibiting the machine at next month's Ideal Home Show.
The University of Plymouth graduate hopes the machine will become an object of desire because it saves about 10 days a year in ironing time.
'A friend's father said he wouldn't have got married if I'd come up with this sooner,' said Mr Blackwell.
The 23-year-old student's innovative idea was thought up for his final degree project.
He told BBC News: 'There are thousands of exceptional students out there and I knew I had to come up with a damn good product idea to pass my finals.
'A washing machine seemed quite obvious and almost everyone uses one.'
