Wonder if there's a spin cycle. Ha.

Seriously though. This should really help the elderly or those with a physical limitation.

Human stands in a stall

You already missed the target demographic in the first sentence of your "solution".

    How so?

    I think there's two different approaches to this. This chair is obviously designed as a luxury experience, as the process takes a full 15 minutes.
    My idea is designed for efficiency, to reduce the amount of time it takes to bathe in the morning without reducing cleanliness.

    There are many people who have to bathe sitting down (e.g. the elderly). Something like the device mentioned in the article would be useful for such people, especially if mobility issues make it difficult for them to clean themselves.

    That's why I said, different approaches.

    My approach is targeted at somebody who just wants to get clean as quickly as possible, and the machine can help them do that faster and with less effort than a manual shower.

    If you are going for luxury, or if you need help doing it like an elderly person, then the sit-down submerging spa is absolutely the way to go.
