Dog-O-Mat: Automatic dog-washing vending machineJust look at that poor pathetic pooch. He’s in a “washing-machine”. A dog washing-machine. Yes it’s the Dog-O-Matic, a mini car-wash for dogs. It will rid your beast of flees with ease, so you can rest asured that Fido’s hair won’t make you sneeze.

Yes my friends, the Dog-O-Matic will clean the entire range of your pooch’s mange. Just take a gander at the lack of dander. Only takes one terrifying(For your dog) half an hour. It’s from Romain Jarry, who insists that the device is not cruel. He plans to introduce it to U.K. next year, and the dogs are worried.

World Expo in OsakaAt the 1970 World Expo in Osaka, Sanyo demonstrated their vision for the future by showcasing some of the appliances they thought would make it into the home of the future. One such device was this crazy Ultrasonic Bath, a pod-like womb-thing designed to clean, massage and dry humans in just 15-minutes.

The user would climb into an opening on top via a ladder. Then just set the temperature desired water temperature and the pre-rinse cycle starts, spraying the user with jets of hot water for 5 minutes. Crazy. Might as well put some clothes in there with you. Check out a video below.

Baguni Washing Machine washes entire laundry baskets

Baguni Washing Machine washes entire laundry basketsThis Baguni washing machine concept saves a single step in the laundry process, the step where you empty your clothes basket into the washing machine. I’ll be honest, I never realized what a huge problem this was. Apparently it’s a serious issue to actually transfer clothes from the basket to the washer.

You still have to unload the washing machine when the cycle’s done and put your wet clothes into the dryer after, but hey this washer will probably save you a whole 30 seconds, while keeping the clothes capacity of the machine very small. So, this concept is good in theory, not in practice.
