Toshiba TW-3000VE....a washing machine with an air conditioner too!

I wish I was born in Japan…..cause then I wouldn’t need to wreck my grey cells over their supposed-to-be-ingenious product ideas. Also I wouldn’t need to use google translate to decipher their product features. Today I’m trying to figure out the Toshiba TW-3000VE, a washing machine. It’s supposed to be a successor to the world’s first washer-dryer with an air conditioner, the TW-2500VC. Obviously Toshiba has a reason for this ridiculous idea too. It claims that it is important to air-condition the small utility area where this gadget sits because it prevents the space from mold and other hundred-and-one harmful phenomena. This newer version is supposed to be more enhanced with features like energy-saving, noise reduction and operating time.

This ingenious machine will guzzle about 84 liters of water.
