iBasket
New product inventions are submitted annually to competitions around the world. University student and inventor, Guopeng Liang, qualified as one of nine finalist in the Electrolux Design Lab competition.
Six hundred inventors from 49 countries entered the competition, which invites graduate and undergraduate industrial design students to create new inventions in appliances.
Liang's invention is the "ibasket", a transparent acrylic glass, plastic and aluminum laundry hamper that automatically washes your clothes when it is full.
"I don't have a lot of time to take care of my clothes, nor do I like to," says Leang, a student at Tongji University in China. "I believe the iBasket offers a much more convenient alternative."
The iBasket is programmed to initiate washing once a specific weight is accumulated. It has a built-in air refresh system, LED display panel and wireless messaging capability.
The iBasket can also text message your cell phone or PC when your laundry is done.
