The Laundry Wall Is Coming November 30, 2006

Whirlpool and Electrolux seem to be in some form of fight to the death over just how we will manage to remove those skid-marks from our Y-fronts in the future.

Frankly, I feel somewhat jealous that no one has ever spent so much time, money and care worrying over the state of my own undergarments. Back to business.

Whirlpool has already been freaking some Giz regulars out with its BodyBox and the Pret a Porter but this one dials cleaning your clothes up a few notches. Meet the Laundry Wall, designed so that even stupid men won’t throw coloured socks in with a white wash. Of course, nothing is certain.

The washing machine boasts three baskets above for the different types of items: whites, colours, and darks. Once the wash is done an ingenious device hauls away the clothes to another compartment, which dries, de-creases and refreshes them.

The downside of course is that you have to sacrifice an entire wall and get another few jobs to pay for it.

But then, this isn’t exactly aimed at normal folk, now is it? –Martin Lynch
