New waterless washing machine!

Running it 4 times would still save money since your clothes wouldn't need a dryer and it's still less energy than using a traditional machine once. The U.S. is usually so slow to get things like this, due to the large corporations here that would lose money with these great inventions. Look at India--they've been running buses on compressed air since 2000, yet in the U.S. we still have everything running on gasoline!

I'll start saving now. By the time it makes its way here, I'll probably have enough. I can hardly wait! I wouldn't have to have it in the basement since it doesn't need water. I think it does use some, if you wish, but it recycles the same water over and over!

It's really a great invention. When you move out, you won't be restricted to an apartment with washer/dryer hookups so you have a lot more options!

These things are always expensive to begin with, to cover the research and development costs. I bet that we'll be able to afford one within 3 years!

Ozone is bad when it's excessive, like anything else. They probably have a way for it to turn into oxygen, I'll have to look into it more. Our ozone layer protects us from the sun and when it got thin is when we got into trouble. Perhaps a little more ozone isn't such a bad thing? And water conservation is beginning to be crucial.

I used to think that too, but I know that when they tested air ionizers, they actually found out that it made the air quality in the room worse than if they used a regular air purifier.

I would love to see one of those. I doubt they get to the U.S. anytime soon, our big corporations would lose too much money!

Ill see if I can get some stuff on the ones I seen and ill post it to you through MYLOT.

I will be in the area where i seen the in two days, so I will see what I can do.

You're right, and I don't believe any of our fuel, energy or water expenses will ever go down again but only rise. Besides, our clothing will last longer this way. I had to get some new bedsheets this weekend because after 18 mos, my sheets were rotted enough, apparently, to rip and not even on a seam! They were supposedly a good brand, too, 600 thread count and so nice! I got them from an outlet store so maybe that's why they ripped but I think waterless washing would save a lot of wear on our clothing. And I like to wear things until they wear out!

Actually, water shortages are water distribution problems. We can't run out of water because of the cycle of evaporation and precipitation but water has re-distributed itself because of the warming climate, they say. Thus, an area that formerly received enough water no longer does--it may rain in the desert instead of in the mountains, making less usable water.

Yes, this is a wonderful invention and I hope the price comes down by the time I need a new washer!
