I suppose, one advantage would be that you can use it while almost asleep, while you need a minimum of mental presence for a shower. So if you wanted, you could: wake up; slump into the bathroom and into this thing; press the button; snooze another 15 minutes while part of your morning routine is being done for you.

Whether this is something you should do is another question...

(Also, it might be possible to extend it with hair washing if you mount one of those barber sinks at the top and then somehow automate it. Exercise left for the reader.)

Your vision lacks the ultimate destination: This will replace the bed.

That sounds like that one guy a few years ago who wanted to replace all kitchen cupboards with dishwashers.

Gonna steer clear of those directions. All things in moderation, etc.

I replaced all my wardrobes with washing machines.

If you replace some of them with clothes dryers then you can not only have clean clothes, but also dry and not-musty clothes. Highly recommend.

I think this works.

You can buy two small dishwashers, keep clean stuff in one, dirty in the other, then run the dirty one and swap.

Or you can also just have one plate and wash it by hand after every meal.

Flashback to boot camp, we did this with our clothes. One set (well, actually several) of perfectly folded never-used clothes in the wall locker (ready to be inspected by the drill instructor, of course), one set of clothes on your body, and one set in the laundry bag. They did laundry often enough that you could get by with just wearing every set of clothes for two days. Gross, but we collectively decided to hold our nose and say nothing about the aroma of our teammates in return for not having to tweeze t-shirts.

It worked until the drill instructor noticed that the clothes in the wall locker weren't aging.

Need to triple buffer or there’s a condition where you have used a plate from the clean pile, but the dirty wash is still running. You’d just have to stand there in the kitchen like some kind of Sims character.

There is still the sink.

Yngwie Malmsteen's kitchen cupboards are probably all Marshall speakers.
