Let us know what you think of the Talking Laundry 2.0 Module in the comments below and sign up for updates on our website... 👉 Sign up for product updates and beta test opportunities: https://firstbuild.com/products/talking-laundry-2-0/ 👉 Co-create with Bobby: https://firstbuild.com/ideation/talking-laundry-2-0/ 👉 Comment below! Beeps, bells, and musical notes alert you to many of the selections or timers you set with your appliances. But what if those appliances used words, instead? Imagine hearing your washer speaking "Delicates," "Quick Wash" and more as you choose your selection—or a loved one reminding you to "Change the wash around!" at the end of the cycle. We're refreshing Talking Laundry—a module that got its start at FirstBuild four years ago from a 14-year-old programmer and members of the visually impaired community. Head over to our website to sign up for exclusive updates on the Talking Laundry module's development and beta-tester opportunities. You can also visit our co-creation platform, where you can suggest improvements directly to Bobby.

🍄⚠️🍄 We're on a mission to create the best mushroom fruiting chamber ever, which is why we assembled a team of mushroom experts and enthusiasts to test and review Mella. This "Council of Mella" has spent weeks beta-testing our initial Mella prototypes and providing our engineering team with feedback that has been crucial in improving our initial designs and developing a rock-solid product. Watch the video to hear what our Council has to say about Mella so far, and don't forget to sign up to be the first to know when we launch at www.mellamushroom.com! *Note that our beta testers may also choose to be sales affiliates for Mella and in doing so may receive a small portion of sales.

🍄⚠️🍄 We're crowdfunding Mella REALLY soon! Use the link below to sign up and you'll be the first to know when we launch. You'll also get a huge early bird discount. LINK: https://mellamushroom.com No Wi-Fi? No problem. After surveying our Mella Insiders and receiving feedback from our beta testers, we realized a built-in control unit would be more practical for most Mella users. This updated control unit will provide the same functionality as our beta testers, but without the need to connect to the internet.
