The Michael Jordan of Washing Machines

Sometimes menial domestic tasks can be so boring for us afflicted with short attention spans. From doing the dishes, to cleaning out the refrigerator off all that rotting take-out, these tasks are not difficult to accomplish, just boring as sin to do. It was that need to liven up these chores that inspired the “Tian Chi” Chinese Washing Machine by Carlo Casagrande & Yu Wenhou Ben for CANDY Group and BIC LaFucina. Meticulously sculpted with a top loading trap door, this washing machine/basketball hoop, is designed for slam dunking dirty denim and perfecting your three-point shot without ever interrupting the wash cycle. Now could someone please design a way to sweep the floor while improving my golf swing?

I love this. I have two 6′ 4″ boys in the house that always leave their practice jerseys and uniforms on the floor of the laundry room. If I can at least get the boys to at least dunk their clothes in the washing machine then I will save some time and gain more floor space.

Aren’t front loaders more efficient? Shouldn’t this thing dry too? Too little, too late, for the world we live in now.

there was similar design that was published here before http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2007/11/16/what-a-purdy-washing-machine/ and there is a few comments regarding front loaders being more efficient or not.
