Xeros Washing Machine Saves Money and the Universe

Sure, the title is tongue in cheek, but the Xeros really will be a very cool washer.  Well, that’s as far as washers go.  But, if you are into saving money, cutting energy costs, cutting detergent use, and saving water, then you can get excited about this washer.

The amazing thing is that the Xeros (Greek for dry) washing machine uses 2% of the energy conventional washing machines use.  It accomplishes this by using, of all things, nylon polymer balls.  It seems that these little nylon wonders have an intrinsic charge that pull the stains away from the clothes.  The dirt is then absorbed into the nylon ball and stored.  Those stains are loosened with aid from detergents.

The Xeros doesn’t use a spin or rinse cycle, hence the energy conservation.  Oh, and you don’t have to worry about gathering all those little nylon balls at the end, the machine will do that for you.  And they can be used for up to six months before being replaced.  A tiny amount of water needs to be added to the wash.  That means that no drying is needed afterward.  Again, cost savings.

You should be on the look out for Xeros powered machines within the year.  Or at least, that’s what they say.
