Why on earth would they focus on the payback period when the point is that it's a better shower? Is this because Kickstarter backers are supposedly more rational consumers than other people? I doubt that. If it's a more pleasant shower, then sell that.
- roymurdock 11y agoAgreed, with a price tag of $400 this is a luxury product. Early adopters aren't going to care about a payback period in the slightest - they just want to experience the cool factor of a new shower + the feel good factor of saving water. Maybe the company foresees on some kind of government subsidy to make these more affordable in the future? Side note: Without having tried it, I find the idea of being misted like a vegetable in a grocery store somewhat unappealing as opposed to a nice hot shower after a long day of work. Perhaps the actual feeling is a lot nicer than I'm imagining with this level of VC/investor support.
- _red 11y agoTrue, but do you think that sort of analysis has stopped people from buying a Prius?
