Washing Machine Of The Future

The future home will have many new gadgets, from wall-hanging fireplaces to surround sound beds, but even the humble washing machine is being reinvested. Electrolux has designed this concept washing/drying machine which might need a new name since it doesn’t use water.

The beautifully designed KaionWAVE uses ultraviolet-C to clean nano-coated fabrics – a prototype fabric that is stain-resistant, durable and expected to go into major use in the coming years. According to Electrolux:

“The ultraviolet-C light Washingsystemelectroluxkaionwave can penetrate through every article of fabric to kill bacteria and viruses, while the free radical oxygen acts as a powerful oxidizing agent that can break down dirt into carbon dioxide and water, thus sanitizing the fabric. Functioning as both a washer and a dryer, the KaionWAVE washing system is ideal for houses where space is limited. No water or chemicals are necessary to run this washing system, and it uses wireless technology with electromagnetic induction technology which enables it to easily reside in the house of the future.”

Of course, there are no prices or launch dates and, to be fair, no clothes yet that the thing will work on. Still, it does look cool and think of all that free space you will have without a dedicated washer machine and dryer. See more photos here.

Wow. This would definitely a shock to the UK public. I mean everyone is so used to have a large box in their house and they instantly recognise it as a washing machine. This will take getting use to!!

Looks cool though.
