The iBasket Washing Machine: For the lazy person

This concept product is the perfect idea for those lazy people who cant be bothered with all the hassle of washing, the iBasket may not pickup that enormous pile of clothes and use its own robot hands to drop them in the container, but it does have soon cool features.

When you load the iBasket with your washing, it automatically cleans once it reaches its maximum storage capacity, forget smelly clothes, the iBasket has a built-in air refresh system that will keep your clothing smelling better, unlike conventional black-boxed versions.

You can even control the iBasket via your computer and home network, and you will also get a message when the washing machine is finished.

Can you just imagine what technology and science will be like in years to come? The iBasket is possibly one of these future products, but my honest opinion is that I don’t think its worth making the iBasket, unless they design a version that will pickup the clothes as well.
