mangle
The only thing which has anything to do with a washing machine and has two rollers. It also looks like a calender.
A mangle is a mechanical laundry aid consisting of two rollers in a sturdy frame, connected by cogs and, in its home version, powered by a hand crank or electrically. While the appliance was originally used to wring water from wet laundry, today mangles are used to press or flatten sheets, tablecloths, kitchen towels or clothing.

Thanks, maybe because you are too young ;-); it's not much in use in modern households.
