關於 Hydrowash 洗衣機
Hydrowash係一部便攜式半自動雙桶洗衣機。一個桶負責洗滌,另一個桶負責甩乾,衣物由人手喺兩個桶之間轉移。主蓋下面設有旋鈕,控制洗滌時間、洗滌強度、水位同甩乾時間,咁樣可以保持外觀簡潔,內部操作亦容易理解。內部洗滌區可以承接濺出嘅水花。拉手同顯眼嘅車輪設計令一個人都可以輕鬆移動部機。機身採用注塑成型塑料製造,擁有平靜如船嘅外形輪廓,好適合細小嘅家居空間。

These intangible challenges were overcome by the passion and commitment to this design vision and the consumer benefit by all stakeholders at Whirlpool. - 研究
- The project looked into all aspects of daily life of the low income consumer.
An internal team created the methodology & closely guided it execution by an external research agency.

Compassion & empathy for the consumer took the research to deeper level & provided insights that were not realized & expressed before. The new design was evaluated through a Nation wide user survey.
to Cover a huge spectrum of cultural & geographical diversity of India.
Full size prototypes & focus group discussions helped to clarify key insights. - 靈感

- 操作流程
- This semi automatic machine has 2 tubs, for washing & drying. Water is delivered to the tubs through a water selector inbuilt in the supply pipe interface. Operation of the wash & spin dry is controlled by the knobs. First two knobs control the time & intensity of the wash process, the other knobs control water level & dryer time. Clothes need to be manually transferred between the tubs. This machine mechanizes the clothes wash process in stages but keeps the entire process open to active customization & adjustment. This machine has an ergonomic pull handle & pronounced wheels that enables easily movement between storage & usage space making it an efficient addition to the lifestyle in low income compact housing.
