Before talking about this Dayoo Kitchen and steam, let me say a few words of love for the contemporary "traditional" dishwasher... It's convenient for me: the homework is up to me, the family guy who "feeds" it every evening is me . However, I don't deny that it has huge flaws.
Which? Well, one of them all: it's basically a car wash for dishes. No? He simply sprays hot water in every direction, trying to remove the food and dirt: he doesn't focus on the stains because he can't "see" them, and he wastes a lot of water trying to clean all the dishes regardless of how many there are and how they are arranged .
Better to wash them in the sink?
Lifetime. It is much more resource efficient, because an adequate amount of water is used. The problem of stains does not arise: with our natural intelligence we work harder where needed. Did I say “let's work”? Here you are. As if we were sitting on our hands during the day. It can not be done. You have no idea how many dirty dishes a family of three can produce with a four-year-old girl capable of dirtying things just by LOOKING at them.
That's why my ears pricked up when I discovered this Dayoo Kitchen. With its appearance as a charging point for electric cars, this "portable" dishwasher sits on the kitchen counter and is the fusion of both methods: it washes like (better?) than a dishwasher, but by hand and in a short time.
Dayoo Kitchen uses a 105 ° C (221 ° F) high pressure steam jet to clean and sterilize dishes. Tiny droplets of hot water that blow dirt out of dishes in seconds without soaking, soaping and scrubbing.
Make love to steam
The hot steam does a better job of removing grease and food from plates and spoons, and the aerated nozzle uses less water than any conventional faucet, saving time and resources in the process. According to the manufacturer, Dayoo spraying dishes is as simple as watering plants.
Dayoo is designed to provide an alternative to the large and expensive dishwashers available on the market, which consume water and energy. Not everyone has enough space or money for a dishwasher but everyone needs to wash dishes, so Dayoo combines the key benefits of dishwashers in one small, affordable appliance.
How does the Dayoo Kitchen steam dishwasher work?
The whole device is as simple as it sounds. A hand shower allows you to spray utensils, while a pressure wall module cleans and heats the water. The entire system has a single continuous dial that controls the amount of water pressure, as well as a trigger on the shower head that allows you to direct hot steam onto your dishes. Dayoo, as mentioned, can heat water up to 105° (221°F), which raises safety concerns. However, the company, when asked on this point, maintains that as long as your hand is 10 centimeters (4 inches) away from the nozzle, you are perfectly safe. Will be.
It should also be said that as soon as the steam is "spitted" out it cools down to 50° C (122° F): it still burns a little, but it is safe for tools and other objects, while remaining aggressive on stains. In short, the "shower" removes dirt and then sterilizes the dishes.
Sure, Dayoo is still a manual cleaning tool, but what it lacks compared to an automatic dishwasher it more than makes up for in energy savings, environmental impact and speed.
In case you are interested (as always IT IS NOT a sponsorship, I did not receive money from the company, I did not receive a sample from the company, I did everything myself and I will never get tired of repeating it) it is closing a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
By the time I found the device, the campaign had already raised over 200.000 euros in funding. Dayoo Kitchen will cost $249, but around 70 pieces remain at the price reserved for the first "financiers" of the project.
