Washup Washes Your Clothes...Then Flushes Your Toilet

unplggd032008-washup01.jpgWe like the concept behind this. Small space apartment dwellers would appreciate the utility of having a washing machine option in their bathroom (we know we would). But then again, the toilet in the concept photo above looks like it's giving a piggyback ride to a reject from The Transformers...

unplggd032008-washup02.jpgThe "Washup" concept is a sustainable and space saving water consumption device that reuses wasted water from the clothes washing cycle for in toilet flushing later (hopefully not at the same time...do your load before dropping it). We'd just worry we'd accidentally lose socks into the toilet while loading and emptying the machine above.

I give it an 'A' for effort. Conceptually, it really is a great way to use waste water from the wash. But yes, it DOES look like the toilet is giving a piggy back to Optemus Prime.

OMG, what a freak show this thing is. In 10 yrs. we'll look at the way we look at those room sized computers from the 60s.

Wonderful idea. Hard to believe the Japanese haven't come up with a version of this yet.

I want to know what her right hand is doing.

She's enjoying the spin cycle.
