Detergentless Haier WasH20 Washing Machine

Share|

Haier WasH20 just came with a new and innovative washing machine, that can save you the money you spend on detergent or soap. The Haier WasH2O washing machine doesn’t use any detergents !!! This washing machine works by breaking water molecules into its OH- and H=+ ions components. OH- acts as the cleaning agent by attracting and retaining stains while the H+ ions sterilizes the clothes. If this new washing machine is so great I’m sure that in the next years everybody will want one. Until now this washing machine will be on sale in France for $957 around €699 soon. – Product Page

I want one. Oh I’m so ready for something like this. Its not that it’s $$$ to buy the darn detergent, it’s just that when I’m out I keep on forgetting to go to the store to pick up detergent, even if it is on the way home. I just want to “set it and forget it.”

The most basic part of soap is hydroxide, but I can’t imagine how they would be able to create a washer that either wouldn’t need replacing of something every so often, even if a year, or would have to heat or use some sort of energy to charge the molecules. I’ll wait and see about this one…

Great concept, just that “oxy” cleaning no matter whether added chemically or generated within, really doesn’t ever clean as well as all of the advertising hype. In fact, I have yet to have a satisfactory experience with chemically added “oxy” cleaning agents whether directly applied or added to the total washing solution.
As for the free Hydrogen generated, product safety is a serious issue, the potential for entrapped H-gas accumulation and explosion/fire within the environment of an electrically powered appliance should be worrisome. Before bringing such an appliance into my home, I would want to see an intrinsically-safe fire-safety-rating with a mean time between failure rate of less than 1 in 100 million cycles.
I do applaud the manufacturing for trying, its at least a step in the right direction whether its perfected yet or not. I would expect that adding a low-power pulse ultrasonic transducer would make a huge difference in the cleaning effectiveness while adding relatively little to the overall cost as “off-the-shelf” ultrasonic transducers are readily available and extremely low cost.
Relatively few studies are available documenting the limitations and effectiveness of aqueous exposure to free Hydrogen ions in solution as a method of sterilization. Conversely, the effectiveness of “ozone” as a sterilization method for aqueous solutions is well known and is commonly used for large commercial aquariums such as the Baltimore Aquarium. Generating small amounts of ozone injected into an aqueous wash solution should be no challenge at all and a lot less fire and explosion risk to manage than generating free hydrogen in any quantity.

The detergentless washer I saw on Beyond Tomorrow was about 20 years ago (pre-1988). I think it was from a Japanese company and it worked on ultrasound and microbubbles. I remember them saying detergent makers were concerned about it and at least one company was trying to get the manufacturer to develop a “sweet smelling” additive to use with it. Regardless, it would be cool to see a detergentless washer come to market with an affordable price tag.

Fire, yeah right, the small amount of OH- and H+ particles needed is small. The load isn’t made of JUST OH- and H+. Its diluted into GALLONS OF WATER!@# All you need is a small trickle to clean your clothes. It’d probably be so small that not even having water in there wouldn’t mean a fire. Use common sense and don’t post articles trying to sound scientific. The product will be tested and it won’t come to market if it becomes dangerous. Stop with the doom and gloom.

Robin Haswell Says:
August 1st, 2007 at 12:58 pm
The fact that this thing probably works via electrolysis means its energy rating will be huge, and therefore overall probably terrible for the environment.
I’m a bit confused about how it claims to work though. Liquid water partly breaks into H+ and OH- ions as standard (anyone remember pH levels?) confuses me about how its cleaning ability will be any better than water. Are they supplying more free electrons to increase the solvent ability of water? What about organic solutes? I’d love to see any machine make water dissolve oil without additives, personally.
@Eh: I doubt that those are for “dihydrogen” and “oxide”, I hope you were joking. I’d say fabric softener & the like, or maybe just “it’s a mock-up”?
@Entertained: I suggest you either go back to or complete high school before you discuss ionic chemistry online.

H+ Ions in water have no real way to become “H2″ gas.. the stuff that burns… in a situation like this.
You would need a pretty significant chemical reaction occurring in the wash cycle, consuming the OH- Ions without affecting the H+…
H+ ions are what make what you call “Acid”. the fact that there is also equal numbers OH- ions in the water too makes the solution “neutral” in pH, but it may be pretty active chemically.
if Hydroxide ions (0H-) are truly the most important part of laundry detergent (and other things to help suspend dirt/grease/etc are not really necessary), then this would work well. If you need the other stuff in Detergent, then I don’t think this would work very well, overall.

DamienKnight Says:
August 1st, 2007 at 2:16 pm
This technology has been around for a long time. You can buy spheres that you put fabric softener in (because you have to have SOMETHING to make the clothes smell good) that use the same process to clean your clothes without detergent.
My experience with it was less than exciting. If you use no chemicals at all, your clothes dont smell good when they come out. If you have to go out and buy fabric softener all the time, it defeats the purpose of not using detergent.
This will -not- catch on.

H+ ions are not going to combust and explode. That is what H2 does. However, H+ ions are the ‘active ingredient’ in a whole lot of acids. Hydrochloric Acid is H+ ions and Cl- ions. Let’s dip our clothes in acid!

Someone needs a chemistry lesson in detergents and how they work.
This is just going to waste much more power, then normal washer, and give you poorly washed and possibly damaged clothes.
you dont need a chemistry degree ( which i have) to figure this out this is just some cheezy gimmick to sell junk.

I don’t know about this Haier process, but there is an add-on machine out there that allows you to keep your old washer. It’s cheaper by far than replacing the whole washing machine!!
It uses no detergent, no fabric softener, no bleach and no hot water! Very definitely environmentally-friendly!!
You can even use the discharge water to water your lawn, rather than filling up, and plugging up, your septic system or public sewer system — more environmentally-friendly news! Lots of other uses for the water!
It uses ozone, UV and silver ions (no danger of explosions here) to clean the wash, kill the germs and leave clothes smelling fresh and clean. Many years ago, when dimes were made of silver, it was common for people to toss a few dimes in the wash to help with the cleaning process.
I’ve had one for over a year and I will never use the store-bought laundry supplies again.
