Need to run out the door while Dolfi’s working?– No worries. It’s completely safe to leave the Dolfi on past the standard cycle. In fact, doing so can even improve the washing results.

Does it really work?

Ultrasonic cleaning has been successfully used in industry and medical practices for years. Materials that require thorough but delicate cleaning, such as dental and surgical instruments, lenses, jewelry, watches and much more, trust only the ultrasonic touch. In industry, ultrasonic technology is applied to remove oil and grease from motors and other automotive parts. For years, ultrasonic cleaning has continuously proven to be highly effective and efficient. Dolfi’s innovative technological solution for textile washing has been developed by prominent engineers of MPI Ultrasonics – a Swiss company with over 25 years of experience in ultrasonic technology. Our device has been developed and tested in their laboratories in Le Locle, Switzerland Here you can see the results that we achieved with our functional prototype:

The Technology

''If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration'' Nikola Tesla Dolfi’s powerful multi-frequency transducer creates precisely modulated wideband progressive sound waves, which travel through water and form microscopic high-pressure bubbles. The tiny bubbles then implode, creating millions of micro-jet liquid streams. Those invisible yet powerful streams safely wash away all dirt from fabric

Dolfi philosophy and your impact

We believe that the best technologies have their roots in nature. Inspired by amazing benefits of ultrasound, successfully utilized for years in many industrial and medical applications, we’re passionate about redefining the ultrasonic technology for everyday consumer use. With your help we can bring to the world a device that can fundamentally change the way we wash. Dolfi’s name is a tribute to dolphins, the most advanced users of ultrasound and one of the most intelligent animals on our planet. Part of the campaign funds will go towards dolphin research and welfare.We’ll inform you in campaign updates about those projects. You can make a real difference by backing the Dolfi project!

Where we are now and what's next

After months of engineering development and testing we now have a highly functional and performing lab prototype. Currently we're working closely with the factory manufacturers to prepare the production setup, and finalize materials and components for the mass manufacturing. Here is our production timeline:

And here is our Team in the factory:

We are passionate to redefine ultrasonic technology for consumer use. The process so far has been very exciting and with your help we can achieve our goal and ship the final product to you by August 2015.
