There are some appliances that it makes sense to combine.
In fact, I thought it was downright stupid.
As it turns out, I was wrong.
I should clarify first that the Midea WashBot in my head was not the Midea WashBot of real life.
I was envisaging a robot vacuum with some kind of unwieldy washing machine hat.
In retrospect, this was not an intelligent assumption.
The two appliances operate largely independently.
So why combine them at all?
The first is space.
By combining your robovac dock with your washing machine, you don’t lose any floor space.
But if you’re not height-restricted, it’ll work well.
And what are robot vacuums for if not removing the need for human effort?
(It is possible to plumb in some freestanding robot vacuum-mops, but it’s a hassle.)
Rather than traditional, clunky buttons, the WashBot is controlled via a sleekOLEDscreen.
There’s also an auto-cut feature to snip long hair and stop it tangling up the rollers.
The Midea Washbot has launched in Singapore already, and is proving popular.
I don’t have launch details for other territories, nor pricing information yet.
