This word is used within Gujarati Indian households, normally by a father, or male figure within the family. It is another word for washing machine, but used in the context of physically using a washing machine. It is not a direct translation of washing machine, i.e. you would not go out to buy a 'roll'. But to load the washing machine, you would be putting on a 'roll', therefore you put the 'roll' on.
