As for the idea itself-- I think flushing with laundry water is a great idea! The contraption above does not look particulalry comfortable, however. (I read). L/Mb | ||

Well, if it went out of balance while on the spin cycle as you were sitting on the toilet it wouldn't be much fun! | ||

How would you flush the toilet when you weren't doing laundry? Also, if the flush water has the laundry detergent in it, it would clean the toilet! | ||

Maybe it also saves water by working the other way around, water flushed from the toilet goes straight into the washer! OMG! | ||

One Must Try To Understand
Anyone who has travelled through Europe,knows there are all sorts of toilet arrangements, which strike Amercians as either odd, or downright "disgusting", never the less exsist. For instance there still many homes and hotels with commodes right in the bedroom. Not off an alcove or hidden behind a screen but right in the room, not that far from the bed. Considering how many European homes have washing machines installed in bathrooms, some not more than a half meter away from the toilet, not sure if mounting the appliance above the same is any more "gross". One must always remember many, many homes, apartments in Europe are created in buildings years if not hundreds of years old. Space is always dear, especially in high cost cities like Paris, London and so forth. Therefore everything must "fit" just so. There are many who given the choice of living in a small but decent flat in London, Paris, Berlin or whatever with being able to have a washing machine, even if it is mounted over the loo, would jump at the chance. As the saying goes: don't knock it until you've tried it. L. | ||

You thiink MEN are slobs? HA!
In my mother's house, there was no mercy. If we guys had to remember to lift the seat before use, the females had to lower it before use. Too bad. Pay attention. Fall in once or twice and learn your lesson. LOL. End of story! Having been yelled at (once or twice) for missing with my aim, I learned to leave the seat up when the underside was---er--- uh stained red. Strangely, there were few if any complaints after that! | ||

It is a concept design from the Greener Gadgets Design competition. Laundress hit the nail right on the head on the reasoning for needing this combination, fitting things in small spaces. See the link for more details. CLICK HERE TO GO TO phillygrl's LINK | ||

Why "Disgusting"?
To use wash or rinse water to flush the loo, which is what this machine does? Is anyone's waste so precious it requires pure water (perhaps from an Alpine spring) to flush it down the pan? In many parts of the world, fresh water is a rare and precious thing. Indeed within the United States, there are places that are facing serious water shortage problems, and may get worse. Considering how well some front loaders rinse, especially when proper detergents are used and dosed correctly, the final rinse water is pretty much "clean". Know in my Miele the rinse water is clear usually after the third rinse, therefore the fourth and fifth rinse are not only unrequired, but could be seen as wasting water. People living in drought areas have been known to rig up all sorts of systems to save every drop possible of water that can be put to other purposes. | ||

This looks more like something you'd more likely expect to see at a Japanese consumer products fair... | ||
