Also feminine in French: “la machine à laver”
Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense

I don’t know about French, but in Spanish is feminine.

In Italian too “la lavatrice”. And the dishwasher too, “la lavastoviglie”. btw we have gender fluid nouns like “the table” = “il tavolo” / “la tavola” with slightly different usage patterns.
Italian and Spanish are easier than French because the final -o (masculine) or -a (feminine) usually give a hint, with a few expections you have to learn by heart (“la mano” meaning “the hand” in both languages for example)…
