    Nice idea but don't see it replacing a good washboy. Needs power and cables - risk of trapping fingers???

    Seen it before a while back too.

    Only advantage may be drier sponges than from a washboy?

    I don't think its a bad idea but I still think the washboy is quicker IMO. Maybe if the sponges were more like a washboy sponge it would be better.
    The next thing is I take it you need a leccy supply to run it and as he sounds like a yank that machine will probably be 110V and that means we woiuld need a transformer as well? Or not!

    Seen it a while ago and still think it is a great product but only if it does what it says, how clean do the sponges come out after you have been grouting for 4-5 hours using a charcoal grout?

    No doubt though if it does keep them nice and clean all day it would be much faster than a washboy. Price needs cutting down though.

    Good idea but i prefer the wasboy as a major advantage is the even pressure you can apply and the excellent finish of the lines over a sponge.

    So im sticking to my KD washboy......for now!

    Great post Dave, but the washboy I'd choose also. I don't think it can save 10 minutes per few square meter area, personally.
