A robot that folds laundry would obviously have torque limits while handling clothing, so the prospect of destruction would be minimal.

The error domain of a laundry robot would be misidentifying an unusual item and incorrectly folding it, or incorrectly sorting it. If someone sold a humanoid laundry robot which folded and sorted my clothes correctly 99% of the time, I'd consider that miraculous.
