Upward Washing Machines

This Sustainable Washing Machine is a Top and Front-Loader Hybrid

— December 24, 2015 — Eco
A compromise was negotiated through this sustainable washing machine, and yet the result presents the potential for improvement upon all previous models. While there are pros and cons to top loaders and positives and negatives to front loaders, the Tilt has an angled drum that meets them somewhere in the middle.

Taking advantage of the great cleaning power of the forward-facing basin, Max Brazo's design is able to decrease the amount of water necessary to thoroughly launder each load. The simple slanting idea is the answer to a more eco-friendly cycle.

To make this sustainable washing machine concept all the more appealing to modern man, the home appliance is proposed with a smartphone app to accompany it for an intuitive laundry setup and monitoring process at your fingertips.
