Rotomo
A portable washing machine for students
How does it work?
An affordable alternative to hand-washing, Rotomo is a portable washing machine that can be clipped to the side of a bucket to wash clothes quickly and easily. Using a strong DC motor and high torque, the device allows users to wash their clothes in five to ten minutes, the telescopic height making it adjustable for use with different sized buckets.
Why is it needed?
Many students in Delhi do not have easy access to washing machines as they are paying guests within family homes, and are not always allowed to use the host family’s appliances.
How does it improve life?
The Rotomo will make life easier at home for students with limited means and/or potentially the same for low-income communities around the world.
