Oh how far we have come…




iBasket Concept Review

 The invention of washing machines have surely made cleaning clothes easier and faster and the future will probably have more in store for us.
 Washing machines have transformed the way we live and the way we wash clothing. They have made life easier and probably also given us more time to get on with other household chores. The invention of washing machines is constantly in a state of improvement, with the aim  to make life even better for us. Who knows, perhaps one day we may end up being able to use washing machines that don’t use water. Unbelievable yes, but the future of washing machines is one that brings with it great amounts of innovation that is bound to blow your mind. One such innovation is the recently invented, which is still a concept but gives us a glimpse of the potential of the industry, and this concept is of the IBASKET. Here is a closer look at this invention.
 The Electrolux iBasket
Imagine a washing machine that can automatically clean your clothes with transparency; this is it. Designed by Guopeng Liang at China Tongji University during an Electrolux Design Lab Competition, it is a brilliant innovation with great potential to give cleaning clothes a little bit of an edge and ease. This electronic and mobile infused machine washes your clothes once there are enough clothes in it and you can control the frequency of wash cycles. It gets better though; it will then send you a message on your computer or mobile once the cleaning is done. You may be a feeling a mix of skepticism and perhaps a little bit of excitement but there’s more.
All this will be made possible by its ability to wirelessly connect to a PC. It brings with it more features such as remote monitoring and control via PC and instant messaging notification. This means, you don’t need to sit around at home waiting for that machine to be done. You can now run errands and do what you need to do and get a notification only when the machine is finished cleaning your clothes. Talk about moving from royal pain of doing laundry to plain royalty.
In the words of the designer, “the Electrolux iBasket was inspired by the need to revolutionize washing machines in a way that could make life easier for an “i-generation” that is too busy working for their dreams” ~ Goupeng Liang. So this was a way to forget the whole laundry thing and save time while focusing on tending to the more urgent need to achieve your dreams.
The idea is to stop worrying and focusing your attention on cleaning clothes, but to let the machine do all the work for you. This means using it as a laundry basket that will detect and wash clothes as soon as its full then alert you when it’s done? You will no longer have to set apart a whole day for cleaning clothes because you will be able to control and monitor it remotely due to its Wi-Fi abilities. If anything, this machine should excite you and make you look forward to the future of washing machines; if this were to become a reality, which is very likely in a few years from now, it would be the epitome of the phrase, “life made easier”.
