Who doesn’t love a good invention  – especially when it’s functional for anyone on the planet. Look at the GiraDora, a pedal powdered washing machine and spin dryer. It was especially created for developing countries that lack enough funds for washing machines – and have to turn to doing it the old fashioned way (which has quite some health risks attached to it). Besides it being a perfect invention for developing countries, I think it’s perfect for students as well. You wash your clothes and while doing it you stay in shape! You can even read or study while you do your laundry. GiraDora comes in different colors and only costs $40.
