Fluffier Pets, No Wet Mess: PetSnowy SMILE’s All-In-One Dryer Box

For any pet parent, bath time is often the beginning of chaos. Unless you have a pet who obediently sits through their bath, the real challenge kicks in when your dripping wet cat or small dog dashes through the house, leaving a trail of wet paw prints and soaked furniture in their wake. You might have a towel ready, but drying hyperactive pets can feel like a battle beyond the bathing activity. Now sure, you could bust out a hairdryer and groom your little furry one (unless the sound of the hairdryer terrifies them), but the folks at PetSnowy may have designed a better alternative – the SMILE Dryer Box. Instead of struggling to keep your home dry and your pet calm, this unique dryer box offers a solution that promises to make bath time smoother for everyone involved. Imagine your pet comfortably seated in a cozy, transparent box, drying off without the high heat or noise of a traditional blow dryer. No more chasing them around the house. Just a calm, controlled drying experience that leaves your pet fluffier than ever, and your living room, blissfully dry.

The PetSnowy SMILE is essentially a small, enclosed drying box designed specifically for pets. Created to be highly efficient, safe, and comfortable, the PetSnowy SMILE uses a sophisticated drying system along with outlets to dry your pet while keeping the entire box ventilated throughout the process. Once your pet is placed inside, the Dual Brushless Crossflow Drying System circulates air from the bottom, creating a steady, gentle airflow that dries their fur without the need for harsh, high heat. Unlike traditional drying methods that can stress pets out, the SMILE dryer uses controlled airflow to keep your pet comfortable, reducing drying time while also preventing tangles and discomfort. A transparent glass casing allows your pet to stay aware of their surroundings, reducing anxiety, and the entire process is closely monitored by built-in LCD screens that display drying progress, temperature, and wind speed. With its compact size and thoughtful design, it’s like having a personal drying station that’s safer and more efficient than conventional alternatives. The entire system is designed to be shock-proof, and without the upper hood, the PetSnowy SMILE’s base transforms into a cat’s nest, allowing them to get acclimatized to it and feel relaxed while sitting in it.

Visually, the PetSnowy SMILE dryer looks almost like a pet kennel, albeit with a transparent exterior. This might seem like a small detail, but if you’ve ever tried to put a cat in an enclosed space, you’ll know how much they hate not being able to see what’s happening around them. With the clear tempered glass design, your pet can see their surroundings, allowing them to feel more at ease. The choice of material here is also incredibly practical. The glass is durable and scratch-resistant, so even the feistiest pets won’t cause damage. On top of that, the outer housing is designed with ample airflow to ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable while they dry, with no suffocating, stuffy enclosure to worry about.

The device comes built with a robust design that’s practically pet-proof. The high-quality tempered glass is scratch-resistant and made to last, while being unbreakable and generally safe for pets and you. The design also emphasizes safety, with a non-electrified upper housing that removes the risk of electric shock, so your pet stays safe no matter what… And if you’re the kind of person who values easy maintenance, you’ll appreciate the modular design that makes cleaning and upkeep a breeze. It’s easy to disassemble and clean, ensuring a hygienic environment for your pet every time they step in for a dry-off.

Powering the dryer is the Dual Brushless Crossflow Drying System (located at the bottom of the dryer), ensuring your pet dries quickly without the need for high heat, which can be uncomfortable or even harmful. High-velocity airflow circulates around your pet, cutting down drying time dramatically, making it particularly helpful for long-haired breeds that take forever to dry. And because this system doesn’t rely on extreme heat, it’s gentle enough for all coat types, keeping your pet cozy rather than stressed. Plus, no more soggy towels piling up or fur-filled blow dryers overheating—this setup gets the job done without the usual hassle.

More than simply drying, the SMILE box dryer creates a spa-like experience for your pet. Advanced Negative Ion Technology fluffs their fur up while reducing shedding. If your pet sheds like crazy (and most do), the negative ions help to separate and smooth each strand of fur, making it softer, fluffier, and much less likely to end up all over your floors and furniture. So, not only will your pet look and feel their best, but you’ll also find yourself doing less vacuuming and lint-brushing. In a way, it’s almost like sending your pet to a groomer, but in the comfort of your own home, and without the hefty price tag.

The PetSnowy SMILE box dryer is packed with features designed to make life easier for you, the pet parent. The dual LCD screens give you real-time updates on temperature, wind speed, and the drying stage, so you’re never in the dark about how things are going. If that wasn’t enough, the dryer even offers app support, allowing you to control settings remotely from your smartphone. You could step away to attend a meeting or quickly grab a snack while keeping an eye on your pet’s drying progress from another room (while also avoiding your pet trying to steal your snack!) When the cycle is done, you’ll get a notification on your phone.

Your pet may seem reticent at first, but with enough use, they’ll come to love the pampering experience… while also letting go of their post-bath stress, so to speak! Your pet gets a first-class grooming session, while you on the other hand, don’t have to deal with dripping pets tearing through your living room, or even endless fur-shedding. It’s a win-win if you ask me!

At The Same Time concept body dryer hastens drying time in public bathrooms

At the Same Time Dryer Concept Image

Public bathhouses have long been a tradition in several cultures. Not many people who haven’t gone inside may understand its purpose but for those who know its significance, they may be thinking of ways on how to improve things around.

In modern times, there are public facilities and bathrooms found in gyms or swimming pools. People share a common bath area to clean and freshen up after working out or swimming. One of the more common problems is drying their bodies. While towels are created for such purposes, they may not be enough. Hairdryers may help but they also won’t be enough.

That is why body dryers are needed. Every part of the human body must be dry before wearing clean clothes and going out. This lessens moisture from the body to prevent any growth or reproduction of any germs or bacteria that may still be present in the body. As the skin is our first line of defense, it is important that it is kept clean and healthy. It can be done if the body is dry. Well, not the kind of dry that is bad to the skin—just dry after bathing. As you know, the skin still needs to be properly moisturized as it helps maintain radiant skin.

The problem of body drying can be solved with this concept dryer by South Korean Hayeong Lee. The ‘At the Same Time Body Dryer’ is an attempt to make public bath facilities more convenient, efficient, and fast. Speedy bathing and drying are possible with this concept body dryer as more can dry off at the same time.

The name alone tells us its unique selling point. The round square shape of the dryer allows four persons to stand and be dried off. The four parts are separated by an opaque transition that offers privacy. They may be facing each other but private parts are still covered.

The footrest in whole features concentric circles that provide a softer surface for the feet. The footrest is divided into four equal parts and each part can be removed for cleaning. The water doesn’t stay on the footrest as it drips.

Air volume can be set in three stages: 1,2, and 3. The wind temperature can be cool wind or warm wind. Depending on the strength of the air volume, the color indicator will change. To dry the entire body quickly, there are 16 fine holes where the air will come out, targetting different parts of the body including the armpits and lower body.

At the Same Time Dryer Concept

The dryer features air inlets. Each part has an air inlet to suck in air. The wind is then blown out through the air hole to finally dry the body. The At the Same Time Body Dryer also comes with four transparent screens. In the middle are a supporting pillar and a pillar cap. The screens’ opacity is created by a vertical pattern so you can’t be seen by the other people standing on the dryer.

This portable clothes dryer + sanitizer is the perfect accessory for those who can’t wait to start traveling!




Got stuck with a single pair of undergarments on a travel trip during the monsoon season? Well, things are ideally embarrassing in such a situation, but no more with this portable dryer and sanitization accessory.

Travelling frequently comes with its own set of hassles – cleaning clothes, especially undergarments being one. A quick way to get over this predicament a portable dryer is the best option. This small little dryer comparable to the size of your big-screen smartphone is the perfect accessory for all your outdoor expeditions and busy travel days.

Designed by industrial design team KIWI DESIGN, the portable washer employs a quick sanitization technology to do the dirty job of cleaning your messy underwear, vest, and socks in a jiffy. Anything that fits the small dryer and washer is good to go –handkerchiefs, masks, or gloves being one. The bottom section of the portable machine made from super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy expands to the shape of an inverted lampshade to support the drying bag.

Since sanitation is an integral part of our current lifestyle, the portable dryer gets rid of any bacterial or fungal build-up in the undergarments thanks to the high-temperature sanitization. This in fact doubles as a dryer for the clothing in the consequent step. In just 15-30 minutes the gadget readies you for a fresh start to the day.

Not only regular washing, but the portable dryer is very useful for the moisture-laden monsoon days when the chances of developing mold, odor, or bacteria in undergarments are high. With a bit more input into the design of the portable dryer and more added functionality, it could be a consumer product that’ll be hugely popular with buyers.

This washer dryer comes with a sliding drum to reduce human effort!

I can’t wait for the laundry doing experience to get completely automated, especially when one has to toil between the washer and dryer. A range of innovations has happened in washing machines making them more portable and improved efficiency. Yet, the washer/dryer set remains the most effective solution for people who do a lot of laundry and want it back clean and fresh quickly.

The downside is the amount of manual labor involved, right from putting the clothes into the washer and then transferring them into the dryer. Pointing out a valuable solution through intuitive design, eminent designer Youjin Syn has come up with “Do it” – a Dryer Washing Machine combination that works by sliding the clothes holding drum from the washer to the dryer. Poetically, the sliding mechanism is influenced by the shape of water droplets falling down. 

Aptly named “Do it”, the Dryer Washing Machine does all the work without human intervention. The washer and dryer are placed in an upright position so the drum can easily be moved to the dryer downstairs. From how the renderings appear, this appliance will occupy vertical real estate. But with its geometric design and touch intuitive controls, “Do it” is going to fit very amicably in any setting.

Amid other operative controls, the machine has a push-open door to let the user fill the drum with laundry. When the washing is done – the barrel (drum) automatically travels down to the dryer position through the built-in tunnel mechanism and provides the user with clean and fresh smelling clothes a while later. I think the design has the potential to make a difference in a public laundry and bring me one step closer to having ironed clothes hanging in my closets directly!

Using silent and fast draining methods, this umbrella dryer saves you space and time!

I’m an extremely superstitious person. I never walk beneath opened ladders, I avoid cracks in sidewalks, I knock on wood and I toss salt over my shoulder, and I never walk indoors with an opened umbrella. While most of those things feel silly and more like games than genuine superstition, I choose not to open umbrellas indoors for reasons besides that. Brining dripping wet umbrellas indoors is one thing, but not closing them before entering is another. Opened umbrellas easily lose their essential tension, they also take up a lot of room and their sharp noses often poke passersby. Opened umbrellas are made by design to let water slide off and drop onto the ground, so when they’re left open indoors, most of the rainwater collects and seeps into carpets or produces mildew on wooden surfaces. Umbra, an umbrella drying design created by Ildar Garifullin, offers a solution for both the superstitious and annoyed umbrella users alike.

To find Umbra’s shape, Garifullin found its clean and curved inspiration from household designs like metallic kitchenware to more involved products like mid-size external graphics processor units. Finding inspiration for Umbra from household items allowed for Garifullin to subtly, but visually convey Umbra’s design purpose. A digital interface on top of Umbra’s removable lid presents weekly weather forecasts for Umbra’s users and an accompanying control panel positioned just beneath it. On Umbra’s digital interface, in addition to the on/off button, users can choose between a timed dry cycle, a silent fan, or sleep mode. Inside of Umbra, two compartments are made available for users to choose from, a taller space to dry longer umbrellas and a shallow pocket for collapsible umbrellas. When closed, umbrellas don’t seem to take up too much space, so theoretically, multiple umbrellas can be dried at one time with Umbra’s wide drying compartments.

Garifullin designed Umbra to fit into most households and with this in mind, Umbra’s final size is comparable to a family-sized kitchen garbage can. Once umbrellas are placed in Umbra’s drying tanks, the water collected from the umbrellas gathers in the unit’s lowermost, pull-out tray, which can then be discarded following the product’s use. Similar to most drying machines for clothes, Umbra automatically switches off, only further guaranteeing the product’s unintrusive nature. Additionally, Umbra’s silent drying method, along with its discrete shape, and overall clean appearance lets it easily blend into any environment without making too much noise.

Samsung’s automatic dry cleaning wardrobe removes 99% bacteria and is finally on sale!

What is your most hated chore in quarantine? I think its a tie between doing the dishes and laundry. For me, it is definitely laundry just because it takes longer and is so much more tedious! And while folding my clothes I think about Samsung’s AirDresser – an innovative wardrobe designed to steam, deodorize and sanitize clothes without putting them through a washer-dryer cycle.

Traditional laundry machine cycles can potentially damage clothes (how many of us even know the right settings for our loads?) and ever since the pandemic took over our lives we are doing laundry more often to stay safe – this is bound to wear them out 5x faster than usual. The Samsung AirDresser is here to save the day! Its sleek build is similar to a tall, thin fridge and can seamlessly blend in any room. The AirDresser uses a combination of steaming and heat-pump powered drying, and you won’t even have to plumb it in says Samsung. “That’s because, rather than a water connection like a traditional washer would require, the AirDresser relies on a refillable water tank at the bottom of the cabinet. It means it can be installed pretty much anywhere with a regular 120V outlet,” explains the team.

The wardrobe has space for six hanging garments and includes a set of weighted hangers for helping pull the wrinkles out of pants. The AirDresser is safe to use for suits, woolen clothes, knits, down, fur, leather, and denim making it super versatile and functional. Samsung also mentions that it is good to be used to clean babywear (definitely a lot of cycles there!), toys, and even bedding. I think the bedding bit is so important because traditional washer-dryer ties my bedsheet into such knots and we all know ‘entanglements’ aren’t good (right, Smiths?). It also saves water and makes it easier for the elderly to do their laundry!

The Sanitize Cycle program uses high-temperature steam which can remove 99% of common bacteria and dust mites. It also includes a deodorizing filter that takes care of smells (more important if you live in a humid climate) and a heat-pump drying cycle that avoids shrinking. This way the clothes are cleaned more efficiently and avoids the damage when you put them in the usual machines. If you love your clothes to smell anything other than ‘fresh linen’, you can insert a dryer sheet into the Fresh Finish compartment and you can even leave the door open to use the AirDresser as a dehumidifier for the rest of your closet.

Designed to fit in with your smart lifestyle, you can control the AirDresser with Samsung’s app by connecting it with WiFi. The appliance comes with preprogrammed cycles for items like jackets, t-shirts, school uniforms, and sweaters so no thinking is involved there. The app also supports remote control and notifies you when cleaning cycles are finished. Additionally, there’s also something called Samsung SmartThings integration which means you can store presets, get maintenance, water-change alerts, and see energy status. As an alternative to app-control, you can use the touch-sensitive control panel on the front of the door which has buttons for all cycles – Normal, Quick, Delicates, Sanitize, Drying, and Special. Who needs the Narnia wardrobe when you get this one that does your laundry!
