Bob - 'World's Smallest & Fastest Dishwasher' REVIEW

[@Kuraio]

Glad to know it's also accepting normal detergent. For a moment I thought it was another razor-blade/printer-ink cartridge kind of business

[@ylette]

Or Juicero.

[@zwete]

It seems like the business model still is, there doesn't seem to be any way to add rinse aid and salt and have that distributed evenly like with full size one. So it probably wont last long if you use it with hard water.

[@tsht]

@@zwete But you also have "all in one" dishwater detergent which won't need additional rinse aid nor salt...

[@SteelSkin667]

It still kind of is, since they'll still securing some long-term income from people who stick with the cassettes.

[@androidaleccc]

To be fair, there isn't really any way for them not to accept normal detergent since you are just putting the detergent in the tub before it fills up with water. I assume it only fills the tub once though as opposed to doing a prewash, draining, and then a second wash like most normal dish washers.

I was ready to hate on it because of the detergent cassettes, "DRM on the ability to wash my dishes deserves a holy war" but the fact you absolutely can put in regular detergent? Damn nice.

[@brandonb3279]

Yeah I felt the exact same! In fact I very nearly broke the cardinal rule by pausing the video to immediately head down here to rant about it. But thankfully I showed restraint as I'd have felt (and no doubt looked) rather silly popping off about something that was contradicted merely seconds after the offending attribute was showcased! And actually this reaction got me to thinking about what a wise move it was for them to have done it this way. I guess they shouldn't get too much credit as forcing people to buy their cassettes would have been idiotic; likely dooming the product to a fate of mass condemnation (à la the Juicero). But still, by advocating for the advantages of their cassettes whilst still allowing free choice of detergents I expect they'll have garnered heaps of goodwill, and by extension sell heaps more machines & detergent packs than if they'd gone the proprietary route and tried to cram them down people's throats!

[@JChiibs]

I wanted to thank you immensely for this video. My husband has watched you for over a year that I'm aware of and I've listened to you off and on because of it. So I didn't think much of it when he pulled up one of your videos on the TV this morning. I was only partially paying attention until you got to the part that the dishwasher is hand filled. I didn't know it was even possible to have a dishwasher and not have it connected up to a sink (it could technically even be drained into a bucket.) The reason why this surprised me so much is that I have a chronic illness that has left me bedridden most of the time for over two years and my energy levels are constantly very low. Most days it is too exhausting for me to go up and down our staircase to reach the kitchen just myself, without dragging anything with me as well. Instead we have set up a small kitchen area up in our basement (where our bedroom also is) so I can at least have some freedom to cook when I feel like I'm able. I have felt guilty for a long time that I am rarely able to have enough energy to do something as 'simple' as washing dishes after my energy reserves have been burned up just trying to get out of bed and make an uncomplicated meal. So it was always left up to my husband to wash dishes when he already shoulders too much work as it is. Although we do not have access to this brand since we live in the USA, just watching this video gave me a couple of search terms to use to locate something similar that would be available to us. I am so thrilled that I can finally have access to a dishwasher again within the space I'm able to function within, giving me a lot more freedom in this area and finally a way I can reduce some of the work load on my husband. Thank you so very much. This is going to make a massive difference to us.

[@Techmoan]

I'm really glad I could help - and so nice to read such a positive message. Take care and best wishes.

[@JChiibs]

@@Techmoan We received our dishwasher today and set it up. It arrived a day early and it was my husband's second day off this week. The only thing I needed his help with was to move it onto the counter; ours is seriously heavy. After that he was able to just relax and rest while I was finally able to do something significant for him. Now I'll be a able to wash up dishes after he does dinner and will reduce a significant burden he has had for the majority of the last two years. As dumb as it sounds, I nearly started crying a couple of times today just from the massive relief to have a little bit of my freedom back without stressing my body and having crippling physical symptoms flair up. Because of my health I've had the majority of my life stolen from me the last few years though I'm only 42 years old. Even the small things I'm able to have that increase my mobility matter massively. I cannot thank you enough for deciding to share something small like this even though it is very different than your standard content.

[@stevebobhorace]

If you get one pls let us know how it goes

[@kaitlyn__L]

That’s really great. More awareness should be brought to how dishwashers (and other “convenience” items) can make the difference between having an independent life or not as a disabled person. Me and many family and friends in similar situations have chosen a specific apartment just because it had a dishwasher built in, or saved up and bought a robovac to be able to have clean-enough floors on the regular instead of once every few months. Microwaves, dishwashers, washer-dryers (so you don’t have to load and unload stuff heavy with water into the drier), and so on can all be so essential, depending on specific difficulties and needs. (Eg whether your problem is with bending over, standing for a long time, lifting heavy pots and pans/laundry, etc) I certainly like how this design made ease of self-installation a priority, and also ease of servicing. My dishwasher built in next to the sink is really difficult to reach all the filters, so I usually only end up cleaning them when I start having problems with the outcomes of washes. I could see lots of wheelchair users living without a dishwasher or a lowered sink being able to lift Bob out of the box on the floor, onto their lap, and then onto the kitchen counter. If you wanted, the unit could even live on the drying rack section of the sink, if work surface space was limited and if you intended to not need the draining rack section all that often.

Also you can sometimes get odd noises from a machine, it could just be something being pushed back a forth or it could be you hadn't noticed that something was just a little bit to high and it is catching on the water-whirler, again meaning you can just look in to see if it is something you need to open the door for.

@@mecamaster It’s about the fact that dishwasher detergent has abrasive ingredients in it which is a part of the reason why they usually end up cleaning stuff better than by hand as noted in the video. As for utensils and heat, yeah that’s why you’re not supposed to use metal utensils on a pan with coating, wooden or plastic only, and you’re not supposed to heat them up very high if there is nothing on the pan. It makes the pan last a lot longer and makes it less likely that it leaves Teflon or ceramic residue in your food.

It's true that soap (made with lye!!!) will strip the seasoning of your cast iron, but today most people use dish "soap", aka detergent. It's not made with lye so it's much much gentler on surface coatings. A little drop of light detergent and water is perfectly safe to use on your grandma's cast iron. That aside, when I was working in the forest, we had a big flat rectangle of cast iron with two rebar handles welded onto it. We would heat that over a propane burner to heat up whatever food we brought for lunch. Fried bologna on toast is so much better than cold bologna on white bread. The way we clean that was to heat it as fucking hot as possible until it was white-hot, then douse it with water. That usually left it spotless. lol.

On the other hand, if you've got space for a full size machine then this machine looks like incredibly poor value. Using the cartridges, the cost per wash is comparable to a dishwasher tablet, but I can run mine once every 2 days compared to his twice a day. A full cycle for me takes 7 litres, where Bob uses nearly 12 for 4 cycles. £350 is the same price as a basic integrated washing machine.

OMG the Alan Partridge reference at 2:35 had me cracking up! I have no idea how I got to this video but i'm glad I stayed!

There are loads of mini dishwashers on Amazon, for around £200 or so and in general they look more modern. This has a more of a classic design that would pair well with something like a classic WW van.

I could see these being amazingly popular for university dorms and the like.

Long haul truckers too

University dorms? You don't really need a dishwasher if your only source of sustenance is pizza and this comes in its own disposable cardboard dish. LOL.

Much too expensive.

@@oz_jones Long-haul truckers are not known for doing much cooking in their sleeper. They do frequently have microwaves in them, but they're mostly used for reheating coffee and the occasional cup-o'-noodles. They don't produce a lot of dishes needing washed. There are always exceptions of course, but that's the rule. ~A truck driver

3:20 Ok, even if it doesn't work, they deserve a massive award for clever packaging.

You are a very fast washer! When I lived on my own for the first time, it always took at least 40 minutes, granted I always waited until there was "enough to be worth getting my stomach wet" lol. I really really wanted a mini dishwasher back then and this seems to have annulled all the concerns I (but mostly my mum) seemed to have abt them! I especially like that you can use your own dish detergent bc that is usually what ends up costing in the long run. Might look into getting one of these, it would just save so much time!

[@ravnaroks6469]

@@electrictroy2010 the only problem is, there is usually no where to put a full sized dish washer in a rented flat, unfortunately - thats why I was looking into these smaller ones that could fit on top. ^___^

"enough to be worth getting my stomach wet" brilliant!
