I thought that was the reason you paid that much money for a higher end washer....

For $1k, I don't see any reason for it.

I frankly wouldn't spend that on a laundry sink. I just do like grannie has done for generations when I want to soak something. I just let it soak sans any fancy gadgets. I agree with cynic, isn't that what a washing machine is for?

For $1k, I don't see any reason for it.

The actual street price is between $600 and $700... The thing is, there are more expensive sinks without any such features  you just pay for the aesthetics...

As for why this could be useful, I'd say, some really delicate items? Something, marked "hand wash only"... I just let it soak sans any fancy gadgets.

Perhaps, the bubbles (are meant to) speed up the soaking? Don't know  I thought, maybe, somebody here has used one of these already...

I'm not sure if I'd want to use this with delicates or not. The bubbles create agitation, which in turn will cause the garment to rub against itself. For some of the more fragile fabrics this will cause wear and possibly pilling. I'm a fan of Aquatic's spa tubs, but not sure my laundry needs it.

I do have a sink in my laundry, but it's just a regular deep utility sink, where I can throw just about anything in there and let it soak if need be. Agitation's 100% manual (hands), which is fine by me.

I'd expect manual agitation  and the subsequent rubbing  to only be stronger, than whatever the bubbles can cause...

Either way, this is all speculative, if nobody here has one of these already...

There are reviews online, but I'm not sure, if they aren't just skillful marketing.

Here is a link that might be useful: Softpedia review of Delicair sinks

talking of sinks - we're not even looking at air-jets we're just looking to replace something of equaivalent size and even that's pricey!...

we have a 24x24x14 cement (or similar material) sink; it is 40+ years I'd think; looking to replace it I dont find any sink that deep and wonder whether the smaller ones will adequately hold the water from the washer-exhaust.
Those that are reasonably big seem to be made of acrylic/composite stone-resin and such faux material; reviews by some users on the Home depot/Lowes sites seem to be borderline to negative. SO I thought we should just go with all natural materials like stainless steel or cast-iron - looked at a Griffin stainless steel scullery sink 25x25x14 but its about $700!!

Is that worth it?

Thanks fahernheit -
tho Kohler also looks pricey!
wonder if something under 200 would be a risky bet - dont want the sink to swell or crack open, or overflow, nothing more..
