Until someone invents self-cleaning fibers, washing and drying clothes is a never-ending cycle that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! This also means a great deal of energy will be spent between these two largely inefficient machines. But one unexpected appliance in another part of the house might just hold the ticket! The microwave can simultaneously (and efficiently) turn water into vapor and sterilize. This modern appliance design, called Wavelet, marries microwave functionality to the dryer to drastically cut the amount of time it takes to dry clothes thereby saving the user money and time! Just be sure not to throw anything with metal on it inside… yikes! Designer: Minkyo Lim
