Delicair Laundry Basin Saves Time With Delicates

Technology is designed to make your life easier. It's amazing how a little power and innovation can make big tasks seem like nothing. Think cooking before range-tops or washing clothes before laundry machines. So what's the next big thing? Well, Aquatic Whirpools has developed the Delicair Laundry Basin, a sink with built-in air jets to delicately wash your hand-wash-only items.

The air jets of the Aquatic Whirpools Delicair serve to lift away dirt from fabrics with a gentle and effective bubble action ideal for stained clothing, knits and other delicates that might normally require washing by hand.

So instead of having to manually clean a piece of clothing, you just toss it in the sink, add a little detergent and then set the timer for up to 30 minutes. With a price tag of about $300 the Delicair’s not cheap, but you'll save a fortune if you factor in a couple "oops" washer moments with pricey or one-of-a-kind garments.

Just the kind of slightly unnecessary but labor saving device that my lazy self likes.

I'd probably shell out if I actually had a washer/dryer and a dedicated laundry room.

I find this to be a simply useless appliance. It's not such a helpful innovation as the laundry machines (because you talked about it) and it's replaceable appliance parts. This is silly and doesn't make my life any easier!
