Introducing LISSOME R1 the most compact and smart portable Dishwasher: Revolutionizing Cleaning for Small Spaces

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LISSOME R1, this revolutionary compact dishwasher will soon be launched on Kickstarter. With its remarkable 11-inch width, this revolutionary appliance is designed to seamlessly fit into even the most cramped of  kitchens, whether you’re a busy urbanite, a growing family, or an adventure-seeking RV enthusiast.


In many countries and regions, dishwashers have been a household staple for decades. However, a significant number of people still find themselves living in cramped apartments and compact homes. At the same time, the trend of downsizing living spaces shows no signs of slowing. Traditional, full-size dishwashers, which are bulky and time-consuming, are becoming increasingly impractical and out of reach for many. The primary issue with traditional dishwashers is their lengthy cleaning cycles while 90% of the dirt is removed in the first 30 minutes, the remaining 10% can take an additional 90 minutes to fully clean. The Lissome R1 dishwasher changes the game with its unique sweep jet technology, which can thoroughly clean a full load of daily dishes in a remarkable 15 minutes. This revolutionary approach to dishwashing is poised to transform the cleaning experience for space-constrained homeowners and apartment dwellers across the country.

“I’m  a cooking enthusiast, but what I hate most is washing dishes.  Over the past 10 years, I have lived in many big cities, such as New York, Paris, Tokyo and Beijing. Many apartments and houses are very old and small. It’s difficult for people to install a normal dishwasher, so I have always wanted to change this situation,” says founder and CEO Steve Xie on the inspiration behind the project. “Based on our extensive research and understanding of our users and the industry, we found that the war of doing the dishes never ends. In case current dishwashers are not suitable for many family and scenarios, we spent 3 years to created LISSOME R1, a small but powerful capsule countertop dishwasher.”

This ultra-slim dishwasher, measuring a mere 11.02 inches (28cm) in width, is expertly designed to fit seamlessly into any kitchen, regardless of the size. But Lissome R1’s space-saving capabilities are just the beginning.  Lissome R1 is also committed to saving water, making it the eco-conscious choice for modern families.

The Lissome R1 is equipped with the World’s First Sweeping Jet Technology, featuring a unique configuration of two bottom-rotating spray arms and two patented vertical spray arms. Powered by a high-speed brushless motor and a proprietary FOC algorithm, the R1 unleashes 32 powerful water jets at 45,000 Pa, leaving no place for stubborn stains to hide! This remarkable cleaning performance surpasses even that of traditional built-in dishwashers, making the compact Lissome R1 a game-changing option for households.

Lissome R1 excels in a variety of scenarios, making it an essential tool for small apartments, new parents, and even on-the-go RV enthusiasts. For those with limited square footage, whether renters or small business owners, the compact design and easy setup of the Lissome R1 offer a practical and efficient solution. It’s also the perfect companion for outdoor adventurers and road trippers, providing sparkling clean dishes in any setting. Equipped with an array of specialized wash modes, the Lissome R1 can handle any cleaning task with optimal performance. Whether you need a quick rinse or a thorough power wash, this versatile countertop dishwasher has you covered, ensuring your dishes are spotless no matter the situation.

Say goodbye to the constant hassle of meticulously timing dish cycles or worrying about dirty dishes piling up when you’re away when you’re away. The Lissome R1 is equipped with a revolutionary UVC ray and plasma dual sterilization system, combined with a high-temperature 160°F wash, to automatically sterilize your dishes every 24 hours. This ensures a full 7 days of clean, sanitized storage – a game-changer for busy parents looking to keep baby bottles, sippy cups, and other delicate items fresh and ready to use.

Lissome R1 takes cleaning performance to the next level with its robust 3X filtration system. This state-of-the-art technology effectively collects and removes even the most stubborn food debris, significantly reducing the risk of clogged drains and minimizing the need for manual cleaning. Complementing the filtration, the R1 utilizes both centrifugal and peristaltic drainage pumps to ensure thorough water removal, while the seamless waterway design further reduces the chances of leaks – giving busy households one less thing to worry about.

“Lissome R1 is engineered for the way modern people live their lives – whether you’re in a cozy city apartment, sterilizing baby bottles, or washing up after meals under the stars in your RV,” adds Steve Xie. “Imagine a world without endless piles of dirty dishes or the constant hassle of cleaning up. With the R1, you simply plug it in and let it handle everything, freeing you up to focus on the moments that truly matter.”

“Our mission is to simplify daily routines, giving busy families and individuals one less chore to worry about” steve continues. “The Lissome R1 brings the convenience of a full-sized dishwasher to wherever life takes you. If we can make your life even a little bit easier, that’s the very reason we exist.””

LISSOME R1 is currently live and available to support on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lissome-r1/lissome-r1-mini-but-powerful-portable-dishwasher

Breaking Boundaries: Haivivi Innovates with BubblePal, Redefining Interactive Toys

SINGAPORE, Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The AI toy startup Haivivi has launched BubblePal, a groundbreaking interactive toy powered by AIGC technology—the first of its kind worldwide. This innovative product harnesses advanced AI large language model(LLM) technology to enrich children’s development and provide emotional support. BubblePal excels in multi-character interactions and multilingual communication, setting a new standard in interactive storytelling. 

Founded with a vision to create exceptional experiences for children, Haivivi traces its roots to a pivotal moment in 2017 when insights from a smart speaker revealed a child’s poignant question: “Does my mom love me?” This revelation underscored the need for technological solutions that cater to the innocent and vibrant world of children, which inspired Haivivi to pioneer delightful toys using cutting-edge AI technology. BubblePal, with its mushroom-shaped silicone design and versatile strap, adapts to various plush toys, featuring TYPE-C charging and up to 4 hours of usage time.

Empowered by advanced AI capabilities, BubblePal acts as a comprehensive “super encyclopedia,” responding to children’s inquiries and nurturing curiosity and imagination. With its LLM technology and emotion recognition algorithms, BubblePal intuitively senses children’s emotions, offering empathetic companionship through educational challenges and daily adventures.

Psychologist Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory emphasizes the pivotal role of social interaction in cognitive development, particularly through meaningful communication with adults and peers. In today’s fast-paced world, BubblePal bridges this gap for working parents, ensuring consistent high-quality interaction with their children.

An outstanding feature of BubblePal is its interactive storytelling mode, where children collaborate in crafting unique narratives. Unlike conventional story players, BubblePal stimulates creativity and cultivates thinking skills, fostering positive habits and personality development.

Haivivi’s competitive edge lies in its deep understanding of children’s needs and innovative application of AI LLM technology. Led by CEO Li Yong and COO Gao Feng, veterans in internet and hardware industries, Haivivi integrates LLM technology into plush toys, ushering in a new era of intelligent educational and emotional support toys. These toys evolve with each interaction, truly embodying the ethos of “the more you engage, the more it understands.”

Marshall Mao, General Manager of Yaber, commented: “After months of development with JBL we are delighted to bring our customers a truly portable cinema experience.” He continued: “Extra effort was put into upgrading the outdoor use of the Projector T2/T2 Plus. After all, what good is a portable projector if it gets easily shaken by the wind or isn’t bright enough to watch under starlight? Beyond film and music, our customers want a projector to power parties on the go, and that’s what the T2 Series delivers – a system that looks better and sounds perfect.”

Outstanding audiovisual experiences

The T2 Series projects 450 ANSI Lumens of brightness and native 1080P resolutions, creating seamless moving pictures even with background lighting.

To protect the T2 Series from accidents and damage, innovations and upgrades were made to ensure the projector remains sturdy on the go. Highlights include Yaber’s unique air ventilation system which helps reduce overheating. A functional handle that can rotate to brace the projector from the ground and avoid shakes from sudden movements. The handle can also be further rotated to lift the projector up to 15° off the floor to provide extra projection range. Plus, a fully sealed optical engine that stops dust accumulation to ensure longer-lasting, crystal clear visuals.

Designed to light up parties with style

Embracing modern minimalism, the Projector T2/T2 Plus adds style and elegance to the party as it draws attention through its alluring yet cheerful design with soft curved edges, warm color palette and sleek aesthetics.

Automatic focus and keystone correction

The Projector T2/T2 Plus also saves the time and hassle of making additional setups.

The settings menu and remote control can be used to make further manual adjustments.
