Indian startup aims to sell portable washing machines at Rs 1,500

I used one of these for years when I lived in an apartment (didn't like using the laundry facilities everyone else used).

I had a big tub I put in the bathtub and it took about 5 minutes to wash a small load of laundry. It was a bit of a workout but that's ok too. It used no power and cost $20.

Then I put the clothes in this, hung them, and in the morning they were dry.

Now I have a house and a regular washer and dryer but I would recommend one of these breather washers for someone with limited access to power or no washer hook ups. They really get your clothes cleaner than a conventional washer.

If they drop that AC 240 Volts powered device into the bucket, instant electrocution will result.

It is unsafe as < insert expletive of choice >

Each bucket looks like 5 - 8 litres. That's a lot of water. Might have to keep using to soapy water for more washing.

Great Idea. Hope they start selling soon.
