NEWS – It may look like a weapon or an alien medical probe, but the true purpose of this gadget is even more bizarre. This Japanese gizmo called a Kurara Wash (I think…) is designed to wash your dishes. That’s right, it’s a motorized handheld dishwasher that cleans food residue from your plates, bowls, and cutlery one at a time.
If you think that this device looks like it takes more time and effort than just sucking it up and washing your dishes the old-fashioned way in a sink with a soapy scrubby pad, I think you’re right. But hey, let’s give the inventor a little credit for coming up with the contraption. Even if it is only for a laugh. Check out the video below.
The cost of the Kurara Wash is 8,800 Yen which converts to about $79 USD on Thanko.jp or you can find a similar product on Amazon for the same price.

The Kurara Wash is a very amusing gadget.
Thank you, Julie for making me laugh with this article.
Hmmm, I wash both sides of the dish when I do dishes by hand. I guess you can’t stack dirty plates and bowl to carry them to the sink since you can’t wash the backs with this gadget…
That’s a very good point!
Looks like the back is being washed to me – there’s bristles on both sides.

This I kinda want to see a video of random people being handed this, and asked to clean with it.
OK, so that is hilarious, but I am sure there is a hand model out there somewhere dying for this.
Nice find!
I want to see this incorporated as an arm on a robot that collects the dishes and has another attachment that dries.
Actually kind of useful for people with minimal hand strength or one hand weaker than the other.
