Your laundry does not have to take an entire day to do, as is the case when you let your clothes pile up for weeks. This is the angle Toronto based startup Yirego is utilizing as basis to pitch its unique portable washing machine which uses little water and works off the grid. Putting your foot to work, churning your clothes in water and detergent around in a bowl, the Drumi mixes old school washing with modern-day eco-consciousness. The idea is not to replace bigger washing machines but to rely on them a lot less by reducing the amount of water and energy needed and the volume of clothes per cycle. Drumi is a time saver capable of churning out batches in 10 minutes compared to its bigger on-grid cousin's 30 minute minimum and 50 liter water consumption.
Standing 22inches tall with a 10 liter capacity, the Drumi can handle a maximum of 2.2kg laundry load, which is equivalent to a pair of jeans, 3 sweaters, 6 t-shirts or 8 pairs of boxers. It is portable enough to be stowed away in a corner of the home after use.
