The makers of Yoomiily are promising just that, with what they claim is the world's first portable shower and dryer system.
The 4-kg (9-lb) gadget – which could be both genius and bizarre – looks more like a mini-vacuum cleaner, but within its unassuming gray exterior is where the creators say the magic happens. A unique water filtering system both pumps water into the shower 'head', which emits it as a fine mist, while a powerful opposing pump sucks the moisture back into the unit. As such, skin and hair is all but dried only moments later.
The suction system leaves the user around 90% dry, and stores the used water in a separate compartment to the fresh tank, which holds three liters 3 liters. The team behind it says it's also 90% more water-efficient than traditional showering.
Interchangeable shower heads are designed for different functions, with the makers saying that Yoomiily can wash pets as deftly as it can human hair – and in just one minute. While we can't attest to its abilities, if it lives up to its promise, it could change the lives of dog owners with water-phobic pooches. And its no-drip quick-dry system would mean there'd be no residual water for animals to shake off.
Yoomiily is battery-operated, promising an hour of continuous showering – a full-body wash takes just a couple of minutes, and short-hair shampooing is just a remarkable one minute – and will return to full charge in just under two hours. Given the swiftness of the washing and drying system, this makes it ideal to take on a weekend camping trip.
Besides the great outdoors, or traveling where shower facilities aren't easily available, this unit has some easily imaginable uses closer to home.
Yoomiily's creators say it's ideal for caregivers and anyone with mobility restrictions; you don't need to go into a 'wet area' like the bathroom, and you can wash your hair with your clothes on. It also allows you to easily keep areas of your body away from water, which is important in wound-healing and often difficult to do.
