Also fun idea, why should you have a cupboard to store your china and silverware etc in?
Why not just have the washer also be the storage, then you just walk up to it and select e.g. plate + fork on the frontend and it spits out a clean pair for you. When you're done you place them back in and they're washed and stored for later use.
Same for the clothing, although in that case one might argue that a lady might enjoy the display of the product and wants to physically see them.
Ideally in the (small) house of the future the tighter packing allowed by the machine might be a great advantage.

Between a WaterPik flosser and a Sonicare electric toothbrush, I've knocked my daily dental hygiene time down to like 4 minutes.
It would be really hard to improve on that combo.
What about something you just bite onto (a bit like a boxer's mouthguard) that cleans your teeth while you're doing something else?
Then it's down to effectively 15 seconds.

I didn't say it was impossible.
Ok, maybe those are grand ideas that need billions of dollars of research, but any one of those involves a myriad of smaller improvements that can turn into startup products. The potential for improving our lives is so vast I cannot imagine how could anyone say "I have everything I need".
