These would be incredibly useful in scenarios where someone might otherwise require assistance when bathing.
Without the spin? Now they’ve lost me.
That price does not make any sense whatsoever. It’s clearly having a 10000% markup for the rich people while there is no competition
But also at that price… Just hire someone to clean you. That’s the real rich person way.
It’s meant to be a novelty piece.
Kinda like medical equipment 👀
I’m not so sure… I could see a huge legitimate price range depending on its features, speed, and effectiveness. Consider the engineering difference between Billy-Bob’s “it squirts you with a hose” versus something that would clean even the body-surfacr you are reating on, and wash your face & eyelids without getting water in your nose & eyes.
We just finished building a huge (automated, with robotic hand) candle manufacturing machine with over 3000 molds, 8500pcs/hour, the thing is massive, modern, with multiple computers, hundreds of sensors, motors, etc. The whole thing is bigger than my house. It was cheaper than buying this bath
Whole it could provide some premium features (I’m imagining more like massage type features), the equivalent of 400 thousand USD seems near impossible to see that much value. Maybe 40 thousand for a luxury item for rich people could work more.
It’s just a limited run publicity stunt that will be forgotten within a few weeks.
Was anyone else tripped up by the picture shown in that article? To me it looks as though it’s a miniature version of the device, but I can’t quite put my finger on why that is.
I thought so at first, too, but it’s just because of the positioning of the device in combination with the angle of the photo.
A George Foreman slap chop
😐
Thing looks like a suicide pod, and drowning is one of my biggest fears. This thing also costs about as much as my house I’m still paying off. I am not the target demographic for this.
Maybe it IS a secret suicide pod and they want to target billionaires. It’s the Luigi washer premium plus
Ehm… So they reinvented the bathtub, with a lid and music? So they made single piece design which couldn’t break down into a tech heavy smart device prone to errors and breaking down? OK 🤷
Machine from prelude to foundation.
I…kinda want this.
I assumed this was going to be a solution to Japan’s problems of an increasingly elderly population combined with a refusal to increase immigration.
I thought we had already invented that one. In two separate version. The first was the bathtub and the revised one being the shower booth.
These should be available at LANs.
These should be
availablemandatory at LANs.FTFY
And multi-day conventions.
Conventions bring both extremes… It’s either eye-watering B.O. or eye-watering cologne/perfume
Cologne/perfume *to cover the BO.
Half a million bucks to have a machine was your ass
Or…
Wash your own ass in the shower/tub you likely already have and not spend half a million bucks
Hmmmm
For that much, I can hire a burly Turkish man to slap me clean every morning for life.
If you’re serious, I know a place
