If it works it could help the drought here in California. (But they'd still cut off all the farmers' water)

Dryers are the real energy sinks.

Meanwhile, your clothes are in tatters after the third cleaning.

Must be fantastic with dirty diapers and other incredibly dirty work clothes. Nothing like water to carry that away.
I’m a bit skeptical.

Switched from electric to nat gas with this house.
Definitely reduced the drying cost and time.

Can’t wait for the new law requiring us to use the new washers and the new excise tax on the old washers.

Hmmm. Plastic. Isn't plastic made from crude oil. You know, that nasty stuff that no one likes. And where does the dirty plastic go? Recycled if you are lucky. Most likely the landfill.

No thank you. I’ll keep my water guzzler.
To: dhs12345
Sounds very ancient. I’ll stick to washing in water.

Nat gas is the best. Worth the additional installation costs. Same with heat. Do some home still have electric heat? Hopefully not. The worst and expensive, too.

What keeps all your pockets from getting filled with beads?
To: angcat
Lol. I would think that water is older. Beating your clothes against the rocks along the stream.

Can’t wait to see the extreme cost for this product, would not be surprised to see it cost more that a ten year water bill.

I think Rush Limbaugh Parodies, Ltd holds a patent on this idea.

In some warmer climates they build homes with electric heat pumps with electric resistance backup heat for when it’s very cold.
As crazy as propane prices have gotten, that might be a cheaper alternative depending on electric rates for locations not accessing nat gas.

And how do you get the little beads our of your pockets. My wife despises our nanny state washing machine. It is a top load that pre-dispenses a government determined amount of water, albeit not enough to actually wash the clothes or even remove the soap. (she uses about half of the recommended amount of soap)
She’s constantly going downstairs o dump a bucket of water in the washer so it actually works.

Interesting, cost? Looks like it’s only a commercial machine right now.
