With a shape resembling that of a mouse, the ImaWash is billed as a “portable washing device”.
What is it for? How does it actually work? Those are some questions anyone who might come across the ImaWash might ask.
In a nutshell, the ImaWash is a portable clothes or fruit washing device that is claimed to use ultrasound technology. The ImaWash vibrates to clean clothes and is powered via USB. It’s meant for cleaning smaller, delicate items, like underwear or ties.
How to use the ImaWash
- Put your dirty clothes in a sink or bucket
- Add water until it covers the clothes
- Add detergent
- Put ImaWash underwater in the clothes
- Power ImaWash with a power bank or USB port
- The ImaWash will work for 30 mins before it stops
- Rinse out the soap the clothes
- Hang to dry
Pros:
- Small and portable, can work anywhere
- Lightweight and easy to travel with
- Includes a carrying pouch and two foldable hangers
- Powered via USB, can be powered with an external battery
- Doesn’t damage clothes
Even after you use the ImaWash, you still have to do some work, rinsing the clothes out. Also, it’s important to try to spread the detergent out in the bucket or sink.
Cons:
Honestly, it’s hard to determine just how effective the ImaWash is. When testing, most of my clothes weren’t soiled or that dirty, so I couldn’t visibly see if the clothes were any cleaner. Naturally skeptical, I found it to be a bit dubious. How could something, by just vibrating, effectively clean clothes? My clothes did smell better, though, due to the detergent.
I believe for the best results, it’s best to wash just a few small items, for example just 3 underwear at a time. Also, I wouldn’t recommend washing heavy clothes, such as jeans.
The Verdict:
The ImaWash is a great idea – I love the concept of a portable washing machine, being easy to travel with and doing the hand washing for you. The only drawback is I’m not sure how effective the ImaWash is. Maybe it would be better if it were more powerful.
