Tech News Around The World
by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on August 12, 2007

When I ran across Haier's WasH20 (warning: site in French) in my gadget googling, I was-and still am-a bit skeptical. How well can a washing machine get clothes clean without any detergent? Supposedly, the machine breaks water is broken down into OH- and H+ ions. Stains are "attracted and retained by ions of OH-, while the clothes are sterilized by the H+ ions."
The machine is available in France for 699 Euros, which translates into roughly $1000 USD. I would love to see this or a similar detergent-free model show up in the US. Proctor and Gamble won't be happy with that, but then again, companies aren't happy when their livelihood is threatened. However you feel about it, leave your thoughts in the comments.

This is something that a have to see with my own eyes. The functioning principle sounds quite ingenious, I am really curious to see some results or demonstrations.I am mostly curious about the clothes smell and texture after the wash.
