I remember similar noise/promise/talk when the 'Drumi' won a James Dyson Award years ago: https://www.jamesdysonaward.org/en-GB/2015/project/the-drumi/ https://www.jamesdysonaward.org/en-GB/2015/project/the-drumi... Drumi has since come to market. These machines are great but I think drying clothes (I live in a tiny apartment with no outdoor space) might be the more difficult challenge.

A wringer is the basic option for that. A spinner works remarkably well, after which line-drying is fast.

I lived in an apartment some years back and tired of using the (often filthy) public laundromat. So I got a breather washer, a small spin dryer and a heat dryer. https://www.lehmans.com/product/breathing-hand-washer/ https://www.lehmans.com/product/breathing-hand-washer/ https://www.amazon.com/Panda-PANSP23B-Swimsuits-Laundry-Extractor/dp/B08375XS5G/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Spin+Dryer&qid=1628873130&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Panda-PANSP23B-Swimsuits-Laundry-Extr... https://www.ebay.com/itm/265264876599?var=565132371636&hash=item3dc304cc37:g:mDQAAOSwTb1hFRxi https://www.ebay.com/itm/265264876599?var=565132371636&hash=... (They weren't these exact models but hopefully you catch the idea.) The breather washer and spin dryer both worked wonderfully. Clothes came out cleaner with the breather washer then a washing machine. I don't know why those aren't in more common use in non-industrialized societies. For larger stuff I'd still have to go to the laundromat. The heated dryer was kind of meh, it worked but produced a lot of humid air and I'd have to have windows opened to use it. But much of the time I could just spin dry the clothes then hang in bathroom overnight.
