If it works it could help the drought here in California. (But they'd still cut off all the farmers' water)

color me sceptical. I'd be interested in seeing comparisons with the long term effects of washing this way as compared to more traditional methods on clothes. I'd also like to see how well it actually works at getting things clean.

If it actually holds up over time, I'd be willing to try something like this. If the plastic pellets are actually recyclable, and can be recycled economically, that would be a plus. If it works, and is cheaper for consumers, great. If not, then it should die just like any other useless product.

I'd wonder if ultrasonics cold be employed as well.

Where does the cleaned dirt go?
How much noise do the beads emits when cycling?
Can a child swallow the beads?
Why aren’t pebbles used instead? can’t get any greener than pebbles!

Oh, and, what’s the cost of this machine?

Just what every housewife wants, a washer the size
of a garage.

...what does one do with the beads once they need to be replaced? Xeros insists they’ll be recycled...

[Trailerpark Badass]

Yeah, these new washers are more economical (though I haven't noticed in either my electricity or water bills), but they suck at getting your clothes clean.

Who knew washing a load of clothes in a cup and a half of water wouldn't work?
