Detailed Description

The first dishwasher was invented as early as 1850, and it has come a long way since then to become a commercial success in America and Europe. With the combination of mechanical and chemical (advanced detergents), the wash they have today has become highly efficient, and the days of unsatisfactory cleaning are gone. But as far as India is concerned, they have failed to make an impact. In a place where washing machines have become household appliances and even microwaves are now considered a necessity, the dishwasher is still considered a risky investment, especially when there is cheap labour available. But there are fallouts with the maid system too, in terms of hygiene and flexibility of time. Seeing a window of opportunity, I took up this project as a design challenge to overcome the drawbacks of the existing American dishwasher models, adapt them to fit Indian utensils, and make them more efficient in terms of size and usability.
