I agree with a lot of the other commenters: use warm soapy water in the sink, would be great for someone with arthritic hands, and way overpriced. One thing you didn't go over in your review was how difficult is it to clean the food grime off if the gadget? And are there replacement parts available? Even sponges wear out over time and get smelly.
Remember though the person with the arthritic hands would still have to load the plates in and hold contraptions so I was thinking that as well but I’m thinking the arthritic hand person would just be better with a sponge and soap and water
I was thinking that as well about having replaceable brushes, same for the rechargeable battery as well, or you are looking at some overpriced e-waste. Most people are just better off with a dish rag, a normal $1 dish brush, and scrub pads, or just using their dishwasher which uses less water, and is better for most things for people with arthritic hands, and/or other minor disabilities.
@@jeannerountree952 Yeah, they’d have to squeeze the handle to keep it closed. My mom, who has arthritis in her hands, could never use that. One or two plates in and her hand/wrists would be done for…
The energy expended holding this up while using your other hand to load and also hold cutlery, while also taking longer to wash each item, means for me, this would actually hurt my back and hands more than washing by hand. Don't let plates sit around for any amount of time.
Most plates take a few swipes with a cloth and a rinse, and this thing seems to take forever to fiddle around with to get things in place. Then it still isn't totally clean and needs more rinsing.
Right. I could hand wash 4/5 plates, or more, in the time it takes to wash that one. Also it's a waste of water to continuously run it like that. Another thing is soap. Just rinsing dishes in plain water isn't getting them really clean.
For the cost and time and effort plus running water 💧, u could have just washed your dishes in way less time!! Are people that lazy 🤔. I don't have dish washer so I wash by hand and doesn't take any time to do so? What is this supposed to be? Automatic dish washer by hand ✋? I don't get it 🤷
I have read some comments here about this device being a great help to those with hand mobility issues like arthritis. Well if you notice, you'd still have to place the dishes properly on that device and that is just as challenging if you have dexterity issues. Add to that the fact you need to hold that device with the added weight of the plates under running water for several seconds or even longer depending on how tough it is to remove stains or grease etc. Water wastage and burning less calories are freebies.
When I was younger, we took turns doing the dishes. On my little brothers turn, he decided to save some time by not rinsing the dishes. To this day, nearly 20 years later, I rinse my glasses before I fill them. X.x
Yea, I like Barry and his videos, but appreciate all the time and testing you do on products. He usually runs thru them pretty quick. Glad you were able to figure this out!
@CMB Barry Lewis. He is a British TH-camr who mainly does food videos, but also has a kitchen gadget playlist with a ton of videos and a lot of the stuff he tests will also end up here on Freakin' Reviews 😁👍
There's a Japanese guy's channel here on YT that reviewed this. You're not supposed to jam the plate too deep inside (which is why your edge wasn't reached) AFAICT. You also have to lift the upper jaw open and run the spoon etc. from the side directly between the roller sponges when cleaning utensils. You stuck it at an odd angle which wasn't right so it got caught in the plastic and torque. He also trickled some dishwashing liquid on the stuff to wash since it's basically an automatic dish scrubber/sponge.
This gadget seems like it was a school project designed by a kid forced to do the dishes at home. And I'm guessing kids would be the ones who would get the most joy out of using it. I'd use it a few times, then say, "Forget it...where's my sponge?". Oh...wait...I have a dishwasher!! 😁
Thank you for reviewing this! I work with the developmentally disabled community and I could see this dish device really helping some disabled folks to have more independence. So cool an adaptive device that only requires one hand to do dishes! Also it’s a more fun way to hand wash dishes which could help motivate some of my clients to do their dishes more often if it’s a more fun activity as well. Like ppl with ADHD might benefit from how this almost makes dishes enjoyable to do. I’m all for making mundane tasks easier or more fun.
@@DarkAvatar1313 but it takes 2 hands to get the dish in it. Then you have to take it out. For sure you're gonna use soap on those nasty, greasy dishes.... Not to mention are you using just cold water to only rinse dirty dishes or wasting energy by using hot water? It's wasteful and not very practical.
This is hands down the best product review channel there is! I always come here for honest feedback on gadgets. No corney, annoying, slapstick fluff. Just straightforward, succinct, explanations and demonstrations. Not too much talking, banter, or personal stories about everything outside of the product like other channels. I especially appreciate when you take the time out to do more in depth reviews by incorporating product comparisons like the flashlight review where you tested several flashlights. It’s a great channel to save me money and returns! I’ve actually purchased and not purchased products solely on his product testing! Thanks!
Not sure if the instructions required running water, but like many others. I would have been interested to see how it worked using a sink full of warm soapy water. Also for the caked on dishes it would have been interesting to see you use the add time button instead of just running it twice.
Kind of neat as a gimmick/ novelty toy. For free. Waisted a ton of water. It might have a use for someone with dexterity issues. All the work you need to put the dish in the mechanism is not worth it. Just fill the sink with soapy water and wash with a sponge.
Everyone saying its impractical or a waste of time, sure. But this might be useful for someone with limited hand function or severe arthritis. Wonder if it would work any better with a little dish soap.
These are super useful to keep a sense of dignity too. A lot of people would prefer their carer had to clean an electric octopus once a week than forty dishes and plates.
Yeah, I was definitely thinking about use by someone without use of both hands, but it would still be hard to get the dish into the gadget to begin with.
yeah like others said, fill up sink with warm soapy water, let dishes soak in that for a few minutes, then this would get off any left over residue, no matter how badly caked on the stuff is (wellll, if you have layers caked ontop of other caked on layers, you'd have to repeat the process probably) the problem I have is that, then I would feel the need to wash the dishes again afterwards because there is no way that brush is sanitary lmao. i mean I guess it would be nice in a pinch if I had a ton of washing up to do, but I'd rather just use a dish washer since that's just a better version of this
The first dish got me all surprised I was not expecting this thing to do a good job I was in astonishment seeing this ridiculous looking product actually doing good
The "X" button might be to cancel any time adjustments that were made before starting the unit and to reset it to the default 10 seconds. Thanks for sharing this review and cheers.
Scientific control. Eliminating the soap means you're testing the effectiveness of the device itself. Use soap you don't know what cleaned the dish: the soap or the device.
I don't know how someone with only one hand would use that gizmo. But I could see getting it to encourage children and perhaps certain adults to actually wash up their dishes after a snack. It might also work as a OC cosplay accessory: Once a humble scullery maid who failed to use products only under adequate ventilation, Dee Shwasher has become the villainous Clean Freak!
I kinda want it as I can't stand up to wash dishes at length anymore and my current sink isn't low enough to wash when sitting like I used to. This seems like it would do an ok job at ~$30 but pans and pots would be a no go and for $60 or more? Nah.
The way you were doing it was a huge waste of water. I am amazed how many gadgets people will buy that are pretty much useless, non-time-saving, or worse than doing it themselves. A brush at the dollar store in a warm sink of soapy water would work just as well and save you $59.
i disagree with most comments. I dont think anyone with arthritis or problems holding will benefit from this device. if you cant hold a plate, you will not be able to hold a plate clamped in a moving device either. id rather use a big brush with the plate sitting down in the sink than this.
Wouldn't it work better if you added dish soap, it's suppose to help get stains off and sanitize your dishes. I think it would have done excellent with soap! 😊
The amount of time this takes for a few dishes, I would have been sitting down long ago after all the dishes by hand including the cutlery with my popcorn watching a movie. 😁
This thing was incredible to watch! I was skeptical at the beginning but I was blown away by the end! 😱👍🏻👍🏻 this thing would be great for people who have disabilities or are elderly! I have cerebral palsy and I have a hard time washing dishes sometimes! This would be great for me! Thank you for sharing this interesting invention! I want to get one!
Yes, this review was very weak. No control doing it by hand for both time a cleanliness, also I can't imagine just running it under water with no soap. I suspect you have a sink full of soapy water, a sink full of rinse water, load 'em up, move 'em out rawhide.
Another con of washing anything by hand like this is that you waste a lot of water. A dishwasher can wash just about anything using a prewash and wash cycle with regular detergent with about 4 gal of water total. Save on time and water bill and use a dishwasher :D
@@winterburden You definitely can, but then you are using your time instead of just setting and forgetting. A lot of people don't wash things right away and let them just sit around which makes it more of a pain later. You are using the 4 gallons to wash a full dishwasher, not just a couple items.
4 gallons of water per wash is insane, that's 15 + liters. a absolute massive waste and definitely not a way to save on your water bill. i could most likely get at least 9-10 washes out of those 4 gallon instead of 1
Now we're talking! This is the sort of product I love to see reviewed. Useful, functional, and a real, durable product, not a decoration. I actually think this would be very handy in a household that doesn't have a dishwasher or needs to prewash dishes before going in the dishwasher, like my house. Nice work!
Is it really that useful though? I don't actually see any benefit to this over hand washing. Those brushes will need to be replaced over time, I have massive doubts whether that will be easy/cheap or replacements will be easily found. For the disabled? It still needs 2 hand operation to load a plate in and grip strength to hold the thing. So that's not all that useful for them. It has size limitations meaning you'll still be handwashing pots and pans and bigger plates.
@@Midori_Ringo Yes, I believe it really is that useful. Humongous benefit over hand washing. The vast majority of people's dishes are plates and bowls, so it's not really a niche product. As for replacing brushes, yeah, they'll need to be replaced eventually, but the problem with that theory is, so will every other dish brush you ever buy. There is no such thing as a total silver bullet, so expecting this product or any other product to last forever and do every single job perfectly is silly. Also, I'm not sure why everyone seems to think every product needs to cater to the disabled, maybe that's just a feature of today's PC society? I'm really not sure. People don't get upset when Ford ships a truck without controls for the disabled, why does every other product need to be? I think too many people with dishwashers forget that there is still a huge portion of the population that must wash dishes by hand. This would be extremely useful in a dorm, camper, RV, studio apartment, etc. Not hard to see how this would be useful to them. We don't need every single product to serve 100% of the population.
@@georgevanderlaan5028 because this is the obvious market for this thing. Also people with arthritis. Nothing to do with being "PC". Jesus. Got an axe to grind? no-one that isn't a lazy ass is going to sit there load up a plate, spin for a minute when the same thing can be done without the garbage process and e-waste product. You're the minority who thinks this is a good value idea. You're missing the point about the brushes. Ordinary brush I can go out to ANY STORE and pick one up for pennies. Is there even replacement brushes available for this thing? It's landfill otherwise You talk about no product being a silver bullet. Well what have you been using to hand wash plates, pots and pans ? What have you been using to handwash cutlery? This piece of junk is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It is neither efficient enough nor flexible enough to be worth a cup of spit
@@Midori_Ringo There is no obvious market for anything. Just because today's militant virtue signalers think every single product needs to put the handicapped first, doesn't mean industry must follow. Again, it's clearly useful for those without dishwashers and those who are on the move all the time. Expand your mind just a little bit and realize not everyone has the ability to live in the luxury you do. You're going to sit there and call the people who use this product 'lazy asses'? What about all the people with dishwashers, who literally have to just press a button to have ALL their dishes washed? Who's got an axe to grind again? Lmfaooo I believe you in fact are missing the point about brushes. While you prattle on about landfills, you're also contributing to those landfills with your garbage hand brushes too. So really, it's a wash. Because even though there may be no replacement brushes for this, you're gonna have to drag your happy ass down to the store every month (at least) to replace whatever dollar store garbage brushes you bought the month prior, so get the fuck outta here with your climate conscious piety lol. Consumption is consumption. As for the silver bullet idea, nice try, but no cigar lol. Your shitty $2 Dawn brush will absolutely NOT be able to wash every single dish you have. Not long cups, not stainless steel straws, not a tumbler or any decent water bottle. It's also comical to hear your go on about efficiencies lol. I'd love to see your shitbrush wash anything in 5 seconds like this thing can. Perhaps you need to be reacquainted with the dictionary? Tell you what, why don't you fuck off to the book shop, read what the word efficiency means, then come back and tell me. I'll leave you to develop your sense of irony.
I bet this thing would work even better in a sink full of hot soapy water. I can't justify buying it buy I will say this is quite cool and whomever engineered it was a genius.
I might actually get this in the future. This could really help someone who's disabled and unable to hold a dish or something and helps with washing. Thank you for this review, keep up the awesome work!
@@ArtisticlyAlexis exactly! I have only one had and that one hand has only half digits, so it can be hard at times to hold something and wash it. Sure I could use a dishwasher but not everywhere had one installed and not everyone can afford one. Yea this things not that cheap but much more affordable than a dishwasher lol. I'll be 38 this year and I'm a single dad of two teenage daughters, so yea dishes need to be done lol. They help sometimes, but they're teenagers and it's like yanking teeth sometimes lol
@@ChrisTomlinsonlive But you have to grasp the gadget and squeeze the trigger to clamp it down. It took him quite some effort. I think it would be harder for someone who is disabled.
@@jimmelay71 for some yes, but others not so much. The digits I have, I can still pull a trigger and grasp things, just with one hand that's all. You'd be surprised what people with disabilities can do that people with all their limbs and such can't do.
@@jimmelay71 I'd also think cleaning the thing would be very hard for someone with a disability as it looks like a fairly intensive process to clean the rollers, brushes and arms with all those crevices.
I was laughing so hard. When you said, chaos, chaos, all I could think of was that old show where the robot would yell "danger, danger, Will Robinson! hahahaha I'm going to keep my thoughts about that device to myself. lol
Would have worked better with soap! I like this if it wasn’t hand held and attached to the counter that would be great. Now if it could do a pan that would be even more amazing! I’m lazy with dishes and I know they last longer not on the dishwasher.
Considering how well it did without soap imagine what it can do with soap? I mean no one just washes their dishes with plain water- I mean I hope not 😂
I have a back problem and leaning into the sink, using both hands is painful to my back very quickly. I can see this as an answer to 'my' problem. I doubt 'll get one, however, its limited application would still require pots, square storage containers, glassware, etc. be washed the usual way. (Wish I had room for a dishwasher). : )
I feel like this would work just as well if you just had 2 brush heads on an electric mixer and you held the dish yourself with your other hand. It would be a lot simpler, easier to use, work on way more shapes, and probably be cheaper lol.
James there’s this stuff called dishwashing liquid you might look into it. the fact that you did these tests of the caked on material using no soap? come on I think just a couple of drops would’ve yielded far better results. That said, with me there is only one substance to truly test the mettle with any dishwashing aid, and that is dried on, over easy, egg yolk. if It can get that off it’s a winner. As for the “it’s a thing the majority of people out there don’t need“… there are people like me who absolutely HATE doing dishes, and anything to make it go by quicker and easier, what can I say? I also think that it can be quite the water saving device, and as I stated, you add just a little bit of dish soap into the mix, and you’ve definitely got a winner.
It takes way longer and wastes much more water. It is cool looking and probably an engineering feat but it is a waste of resources and solves no problem.
One thing I could say about this, I think this would be a fun way for kids to do dishes. As long as it’s sturdy enough to stand up to kids, it could work!
This honestly seems like a product you would buy from Wish. At $60 though, it is definitely a luxury item. I think he didn't use warm, soapy water because he wanted to follow the directions he was given to see if it would work that way. I'm sure he knows it would work better with soap and warm water, but if the manufacturer's instructions just say to use regular water, then they are claiming it will work with regular water.
sink full of hot soapy water. HARD MOUNT on the counter you install this into such that it hangs down into the water. Insert plate. flip latch (instead of a squeeze trigger) engage. repeat.
One con that you didn't mention is being forced to apply hand pressure to hold the unit closed the entire time. Carpal tunnel is a real thing. If you wish to clean a lot of plates, hand fatigue would grow quickly. The unit should have been designed in reverse, instead to remain closed. Instead, the hand lever opens the unit up to insert the dish, then release the lever to close the unit around the dish. You only need to hold the unit to wash the dish. Thus, this reversed lever design change would immediately eliminate the hand pressure fatigue problem when washing a lot of dishes. Though, it might require a locking mechanism so you don't accidentally press the lever while washing.
It seems to me that a $2 brush and some soapy water would do just as well and maybe even faster. I can then put my dirty brush in the dishwasher and sanitize it. With this device I see 3 problems. First, the ridiculous cost. Second, how the #*?! do you clean and sanitize it? Third, where in the world do you store it? Great review, James, but I’ll pass on this one.
The huge waste of water is the first problem. The second is that it probably takes five times longer to clean your dishes than just putting some soapy water in the sink and washing them the old fashion way. I don’t really see why anyone would want to use this except that it seemed like a fun toy.
Thanks for this video, of course I would never buy this product, first running water seems like a waste of water, takes too much time if you have many things to wash and second it is absolutely ridiculous.😂😂 the fact that if you’re using very hot water that would probably clean the plate by itself 😂 another great video from your channel ❤️😍👵🏻🇺🇸
To me, this gadget is just a novelty. It’s may be fun to try it out. But when comes to day-to-day use, a simple sponge is much faster. This gadget still requires 2 hands. Also, you haven’t tried to wash glasses and cups yet. Now, if this device can wash 2 or 3 dishes/bowls at the same time, it would be helpful. Remember, after you wash all your dishes, then you have to wash this device, too.
Looks like you can also detect ghosts with it, Ghostbusters style.
If the plate is green, the plate is clean. 😆

I have cerebral palsy and I have a hard time washing dishes sometimes! This would be great for me! Thank you for sharing this interesting invention! I want to get one!
That is the craziest thing I have ever seen, but what I can see of that kitchen is gorgeous!
why, i could get 3-4 done by the time 1 gets done by that contraption. Amazes me what people make and what people will buy
Yes, this review was very weak. No control doing it by hand for both time a cleanliness, also I can't imagine just running it under water with no soap. I suspect you have a sink full of soapy water, a sink full of rinse water, load 'em up, move 'em out rawhide.
Another con of washing anything by hand like this is that you waste a lot of water. A dishwasher can wash just about anything using a prewash and wash cycle with regular detergent with about 4 gal of water total. Save on time and water bill and use a dishwasher :D
I can wash most things by hand with just a couple cups of water. 4 gallons to wash something is an enormous con.
Only problem with a dish washer is yeah, you save on water, but now you just raised your electric bill cause dishwashers run for over 2 hours.
@@winterburden You definitely can, but then you are using your time instead of just setting and forgetting. A lot of people don't wash things right away and let them just sit around which makes it more of a pain later. You are using the 4 gallons to wash a full dishwasher, not just a couple items.
4 gallons of water per wash is insane, that's 15 + liters. a absolute massive waste and definitely not a way to save on your water bill. i could most likely get at least 9-10 washes out of those 4 gallon instead of 1
@@winterburden
No you can't. Try 10 plates, 10 glasses, and 10 utensils. Keep the sink plugged, and see how much water you use.
Now we're talking! This is the sort of product I love to see reviewed. Useful, functional, and a real, durable product, not a decoration. I actually think this would be very handy in a household that doesn't have a dishwasher or needs to prewash dishes before going in the dishwasher, like my house. Nice work!
Is it really that useful though? I don't actually see any benefit to this over hand washing. Those brushes will need to be replaced over time, I have massive doubts whether that will be easy/cheap or replacements will be easily found. For the disabled? It still needs 2 hand operation to load a plate in and grip strength to hold the thing. So that's not all that useful for them. It has size limitations meaning you'll still be handwashing pots and pans and bigger plates.
@@Midori_Ringo Yes, I believe it really is that useful. Humongous benefit over hand washing. The vast majority of people's dishes are plates and bowls, so it's not really a niche product. As for replacing brushes, yeah, they'll need to be replaced eventually, but the problem with that theory is, so will every other dish brush you ever buy. There is no such thing as a total silver bullet, so expecting this product or any other product to last forever and do every single job perfectly is silly. Also, I'm not sure why everyone seems to think every product needs to cater to the disabled, maybe that's just a feature of today's PC society? I'm really not sure. People don't get upset when Ford ships a truck without controls for the disabled, why does every other product need to be? I think too many people with dishwashers forget that there is still a huge portion of the population that must wash dishes by hand. This would be extremely useful in a dorm, camper, RV, studio apartment, etc. Not hard to see how this would be useful to them. We don't need every single product to serve 100% of the population.
@@georgevanderlaan5028 because this is the obvious market for this thing. Also people with arthritis. Nothing to do with being "PC". Jesus. Got an axe to grind? no-one that isn't a lazy ass is going to sit there load up a plate, spin for a minute when the same thing can be done without the garbage process and e-waste product. You're the minority who thinks this is a good value idea.
You're missing the point about the brushes. Ordinary brush I can go out to ANY STORE and pick one up for pennies. Is there even replacement brushes available for this thing? It's landfill otherwise
You talk about no product being a silver bullet. Well what have you been using to hand wash plates, pots and pans ? What have you been using to handwash cutlery?
This piece of junk is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It is neither efficient enough nor flexible enough to be worth a cup of spit
@@Midori_Ringo There is no obvious market for anything. Just because today's militant virtue signalers think every single product needs to put the handicapped first, doesn't mean industry must follow. Again, it's clearly useful for those without dishwashers and those who are on the move all the time. Expand your mind just a little bit and realize not everyone has the ability to live in the luxury you do. You're going to sit there and call the people who use this product 'lazy asses'? What about all the people with dishwashers, who literally have to just press a button to have ALL their dishes washed? Who's got an axe to grind again? Lmfaooo
I believe you in fact are missing the point about brushes. While you prattle on about landfills, you're also contributing to those landfills with your garbage hand brushes too. So really, it's a wash. Because even though there may be no replacement brushes for this, you're gonna have to drag your happy ass down to the store every month (at least) to replace whatever dollar store garbage brushes you bought the month prior, so get the fuck outta here with your climate conscious piety lol. Consumption is consumption.
As for the silver bullet idea, nice try, but no cigar lol. Your shitty $2 Dawn brush will absolutely NOT be able to wash every single dish you have. Not long cups, not stainless steel straws, not a tumbler or any decent water bottle. It's also comical to hear your go on about efficiencies lol. I'd love to see your shitbrush wash anything in 5 seconds like this thing can. Perhaps you need to be reacquainted with the dictionary? Tell you what, why don't you fuck off to the book shop, read what the word efficiency means, then come back and tell me.
I'll leave you to develop your sense of irony.
It's just an overpriced novelty kitchen gadget. It does do the job moderately well. It is much easier to just use a sponge and some dish soap.
So cool I got kinda mentioned in the video for commenting about Barry Lewis on Twitter I'm so happy today 😊
I've never been more fascinated by random products. Good job sir. :P
Just when I thought I'd seen it all .... James, you've outdone yourself in weirdness !!!! LOL
I bet this thing would work even better in a sink full of hot soapy water. I can't justify buying it buy I will say this is quite cool and whomever engineered it was a genius.
I might actually get this in the future. This could really help someone who's disabled and unable to hold a dish or something and helps with washing. Thank you for this review, keep up the awesome work!
That's why I want it! I've got neuropathy & issues w/ my hands gripping in certain ways at only 38. I have a lot of dish washing years ahead of me!
@@ArtisticlyAlexis exactly! I have only one had and that one hand has only half digits, so it can be hard at times to hold something and wash it. Sure I could use a dishwasher but not everywhere had one installed and not everyone can afford one. Yea this things not that cheap but much more affordable than a dishwasher lol. I'll be 38 this year and I'm a single dad of two teenage daughters, so yea dishes need to be done lol. They help sometimes, but they're teenagers and it's like yanking teeth sometimes lol
@@ChrisTomlinsonlive But you have to grasp the gadget and squeeze the trigger to clamp it down. It took him quite some effort. I think it would be harder for someone who is disabled.
@@jimmelay71 for some yes, but others not so much. The digits I have, I can still pull a trigger and grasp things, just with one hand that's all. You'd be surprised what people with disabilities can do that people with all their limbs and such can't do.
@@jimmelay71 I'd also think cleaning the thing would be very hard for someone with a disability as it looks like a fairly intensive process to clean the rollers, brushes and arms with all those crevices.
I was laughing so hard. When you said, chaos, chaos, all I could think of was that old show where the robot would yell "danger, danger, Will Robinson! hahahaha I'm going to keep my thoughts about that device to myself. lol
Should have tried a sink full of warm/hot soapy water . May have worked better than running water and less wastful.
Maybe the device isn't all water resistant but if it is, submerging the dish in hot soapy water will be effective.
As an australian, seeing that much wasted water made me cringe.
Whoever invented this put a lot of time and effort into it I have to give respect to that.
Huge waste of money, time and water, but I always enjoy your reviews.
Would have worked better with soap! I like this if it wasn’t hand held and attached to the counter that would be great. Now if it could do a pan that would be even more amazing! I’m lazy with dishes and I know they last longer not on the dishwasher.
Considering how well it did without soap imagine what it can do with soap? I mean no one just washes their dishes with plain water- I mean I hope not 😂
I have a back problem and leaning into the sink, using both hands is painful to my back very quickly. I can see this as an answer to 'my' problem. I doubt 'll get one, however, its limited application would still require pots, square storage containers, glassware, etc. be washed the usual way. (Wish I had room for a dishwasher). : )
For mobility-hampered people, I'd say it might be a good supplement.
I feel like this would work just as well if you just had 2 brush heads on an electric mixer and you held the dish yourself with your other hand. It would be a lot simpler, easier to use, work on way more shapes, and probably be cheaper lol.
That orangey light in you backgroud makes you look like a saint in those medieval paintings. 😉
James there’s this stuff called dishwashing liquid you might look into it. the fact that you did these tests of the caked on material using no soap? come on I think just a couple of drops would’ve yielded far better results. That said, with me there is only one substance to truly test the mettle with any dishwashing aid, and that is dried on, over easy, egg yolk. if It can get that off it’s a winner. As for the “it’s a thing the majority of people out there don’t need“… there are people like me who absolutely HATE doing dishes, and anything to make it go by quicker and easier, what can I say? I also think that it can be quite the water saving device, and as I stated, you add just a little bit of dish soap into the mix, and you’ve definitely got a winner.
It takes way longer and wastes much more water. It is cool looking and probably an engineering feat but it is a waste of resources and solves no problem.
Interesting... 🤔
It could use a soap dispenser.
As always! Another great upload!
One thing I could say about this, I think this would be a fun way for kids to do dishes. As long as it’s sturdy enough to stand up to kids, it could work!
This honestly seems like a product you would buy from Wish. At $60 though, it is definitely a luxury item. I think he didn't use warm, soapy water because he wanted to follow the directions he was given to see if it would work that way. I'm sure he knows it would work better with soap and warm water, but if the manufacturer's instructions just say to use regular water, then they are claiming it will work with regular water.
One thing for sure you have to use slot of water to wash just one item. But it looks fun to use the kids would love it !
Cleaning and sanitizing the gadget itself concerns me. Sponges carry a ridiculous germ load.
Cool video!! The brush looks worn after a few minutes of use and the ton of water you used is insane!, was fun to watch!!
Come on! I don't like washing dishes at all (no dishwasher, just bear 🐻 hands)! But to wrestle with this thing for every single dish... Waste of time!
Whoa what a water waster! You could own one and travel in an RV. Your grey water tank would be full in minutes. I think it’s a silly contraption.
Sometimes I just find myself shaking my head at such products wondering who in their right mind buys such stupid things or even designs them lol.
That thing is alive!!! 😲 the way the little arms move.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
You should have tried a square plate and bowl
I know… I would show my mom but we have square plates so I am not sure it would work!
@@BrycePensabene he said at the end it doesn't work on non round dishes
Far out but of course love that it works. Nice robo concept too.
I know that I am quite late..but HAPPY NEW YEAR'S! So happy to get this chance to follow your channel for my first full year 🎉🎉😁
rofl. seriously fixes a non-existant problem. For how much $$$. Nuts!
sink full of hot soapy water.
HARD MOUNT on the counter you install this into such that it hangs down into the water.
Insert plate. flip latch (instead of a squeeze trigger) engage. repeat.
Why in the name of all that's holy would anyone find this easier than soaking in a bowl of hot water then using a sponge? The mind boggles 😂
Them hands are so awesome how it grips the plate 🍽️ 😆
Very cool but in 100% of cases your hand and warm water would be far more efficient.
One con that you didn't mention is being forced to apply hand pressure to hold the unit closed the entire time. Carpal tunnel is a real thing. If you wish to clean a lot of plates, hand fatigue would grow quickly. The unit should have been designed in reverse, instead to remain closed. Instead, the hand lever opens the unit up to insert the dish, then release the lever to close the unit around the dish. You only need to hold the unit to wash the dish. Thus, this reversed lever design change would immediately eliminate the hand pressure fatigue problem when washing a lot of dishes. Though, it might require a locking mechanism so you don't accidentally press the lever while washing.
It seems to me that a $2 brush and some soapy water would do just as well and maybe even faster. I can then put my dirty brush in the dishwasher and sanitize it. With this device I see 3 problems. First, the ridiculous cost. Second, how the #*?! do you clean and sanitize it? Third, where in the world do you store it? Great review, James, but I’ll pass on this one.
My grandfather lost his left hand in WWII, if he wasn’t lucky enough to have a dish washer this would have been great for him.
The huge waste of water is the first problem. The second is that it probably takes five times longer to clean your dishes than just putting some soapy water in the sink and washing them the old fashion way. I don’t really see why anyone would want to use this except that it seemed like a fun toy.
As someone with a child with a movement disorder, this looks like a great adaptive product.
Great video! Do you use dishwashing liquid with this? Also, what about cleaning mugs and glasses?
It’s amazing to see what people will create to avoid washing the dishes…🤣
Inspector Gadget called, he wants his dish cleaner back 😆
Thanks for this video, of course I would never buy this product, first running water seems like a waste of water, takes too much time if you have many things to wash and second it is absolutely ridiculous.😂😂 the fact that if you’re using very hot water that would probably clean the plate by itself 😂 another great video from your channel ❤️😍👵🏻🇺🇸
The amount of water wasted washing 2-3 dishes would be enough to run a modern, dishwasher, FULL of dishes.
I would have thought it was a huge toy version of an insect with antennae.
To me, this gadget is just a novelty. It’s may be fun to try it out. But when comes to day-to-day use, a simple sponge is much faster. This gadget still requires 2 hands. Also, you haven’t tried to wash glasses and cups yet. Now, if this device can wash 2 or 3 dishes/bowls at the same time, it would be helpful. Remember, after you wash all your dishes, then you have to wash this device, too.
We got a machine that took all the uncleaned dishes, washe them, dry them and then put them back on the shelf. That machine is me :)
What a waste of water with this thing :/
THAT was a Ghostbusters fan....dude that's a PKE meter I swear lol. It is a needless gadget, but the cool factor is insane.
Lol to the slippage. This thing belongs in this book of useless or unnecessary gadgets (Japanese book)
Couldnt figure out where i saw this before until you said barry, he is my kitchen gadget go to lol
I guess if I need some entertainment while cleaning multiple dishes for a long time, like working in the kitchen, I might have to use this sometimes.
