Robo-Washer Revolution
All-in-one hand washing and drying device capable of using only a cup of water per week.
The Robo-Washer is an all-in-one hand washing and drying device capable of handling washing and drying apart from recycling the water that it makes use of after each cycle.
The machine is capable of ditching the soap and washing hands by making use of antibacterial water. Following each use, the gadget is capable of filtering and disinfecting this water for the next set of grubby paws to be washed in. The end result is hospital-grade hygiene.
A conventional sink has about 17 gallons of water going down its drain each day. Robo-Washer Revolution can work with just one cup of water per week.
The designer hopes that the recycling technology inside the Robo-Wash Revolution shall also find its uses in dishwashers, showers, drinking fountains and washing machines. No price has been released so far, however, according to the designer, the gadget will pay for itself within a year.
