Good news for parents! Household appliance manufacturer Bosch today introduced the world's first baby changing machine. The device called "Windelmaster 3000", which is scheduled to come onto the market in time for the Christmas shopping season, is able to change the diapers of infants between the ages of 0 and 4 years fully automatically and in record time.
“We are pleased to finally be able to give new parents a piece of freedom,” explains a company spokeswoman when introducing the product. "Our fully automatic changing machine cleans and changes babies, no matter what shape, with its cybernetic hydraulic arms and extra-sensitive gripping tongs in just 10 to 30 seconds."
The operation of the diaper master 3000 is very simple: you place the baby on the designated area, select one of five cleaning programs (pee, poop, pee+poop, diarrhea, pee+diarrhea), one of three post-cleaning programs (powder, cream, kiss on the bottom) and the desired type of diaper and leaves the rest to the machine. Only diapers and wet wipes need to be refilled about every 30 changes and the used diaper bag needs to be emptied as needed. Corresponding signal lamps inform the user of this. Weighing just 170 kilograms, the device can be transported in the trunk of a station wagon and can also be used on the go or when visiting.
Attention: The manufacturer points out that the device should always be set to "change" and not to "remove core". This function should only be used for avocados that are ripe for consumption.
According to company information, the device will cost around 2,500 euros to purchase - a price that troubled parents are certainly willing to pay.
