Living In A Small Apartment Or Dorm? Soon You Can Do Your Laundry With A Drumi (Video)
College students, apartment dwellers, boarders… anyone who doesn’t have space for a washer and dryer, or convenient access to a laundromat, the Drumi – a sustainable, miniature washing machine – could be the small sensible solution you need. Household design company Yirego put out a video of a working model. You put in detergent and water (per the clothes label instructions), add a small load of garments, close it, and spin the clothes clean using foot pedal power. Nice! Watch the vid.
When this Drumi is finally commercially available (pre-order now for $169 US plus shipping for delivery around July 2016 here), hardcore environmentalists will likely have something to say about this plastic product… and landfills. But c’mon, this is cool tech! Saves cash on the power bill (and with enough folks using it, reduces reliance on electricity from coal-fired plants).
