TOKYO: Imagine lying down to get washed just like your clothes in a washing machine! This isn’t a dream but a reality thanks to Japanese company Science. They created a "human washing machine" where users lie inside a pod, close the lid, and get cleaned — no spinning involved. While music plays, the device also checks your heartbeat and other vital signs. This amazing gadget, called the "human washer of the future," was a star attraction at the World Expo in Osaka last October. Over 27 million people came to see it, lining up excitedly for a chance to try it. The idea is not brand new — it’s actually an upgraded version of a similar product shown back in 1970, when Osaka last hosted the Expo. "Our (company) president was inspired by that as a 10-year-old boy at the time," said Sachiko Maekura, a spokeswoman for Science. She added, "The machine not only washes your body but also your soul," highlighting the relaxing and refreshing experience it offers. After the Expo, a resort company from the United States contacted Science about selling the machine commercially. Inspired, Science decided to produce it for real. The first unit was bought by a hotel in Osaka, which plans to offer this unique washing experience to its guests. Another big customer is Yamada Denki, a major consumer electronics retail chain in Japan. They hope this rare machine will bring more visitors to their stores. Because it’s such a special product, only about 50 machines will be made. The price? A whopping 60 million yen, or around $385,000, as reported by local media.
