    The only "personal responsibility" you will have is trying to keep friends while you have this thing. #robots

    I actually fear that we will forget how to do simple things, like doing the dishes, in our robotic lust. All well and good till the power runs out. #robots

    @FooSchnickens - Forklift Dirver Extraordinaire: I kind of agree. The mindless stuff is a good way to work through stress, only with me its vacuuming. When I am super stressed, I Hoover the hell out of my house. #robots

    Considering you'd have to completely submerge your dishes, I don't see this thing saving any water. I'd be interested to see the energy comparison of ultrasonic vs. heating water, but it might not be as much energy savings as you'd like.

    At least it doesn't need soap. Actually, I wonder how soap would react in an ultrasonic bath. Bubble city?

    @WMyers: I clean with ultrasonics almost everyday, and the parts need to be very clean.

    Using a soap is necessary to remove particles. Adding heat helps also, basic chemistry/physics. You would need something to act on removing the grease from the dishes. The ultrasonic is very good at providing essentially agitation to do the work, but you are really hurting yourself if you don't have an active chemical in there. Soap is one thing that helps remove grease also, soap is a surfactant. You should be able to use a lot less soap though than a traditional dishwasher.

    I wonder how it works with kinda messy food. The dishwasher I have now has to have things mostly clean before it gets put in.

    We wash our Dental instruments that way and it does the job quite well. I would like to see this implemented in our household.

    Maybe mugs like this should be squared off around the middle and then rounded off again at the top for a proper lip.
