Original source: CHIP Online

French company Daan Tech has introduced the BOB Mini compact dishwasher designed for caravans, tiny houses, boats, and small kitchens. The device, measuring 34 cm wide and weighing about 10 kg, features a built-in 3.9-liter tank, allowing it to operate without a direct water connection. It uses 2.9 liters of water per wash, which the manufacturer claims is up to 80% less than hand washing. The unit has a power rating of 1000 W, consumes about 0.43 kWh per standard cycle, and 0.5 W in standby. A quick program takes about 20 minutes, and noise levels are around 43 dB.

French singer Daniel Guichard, 77, lives in a motorhome and calls himself a 'gypsy at heart'. The housing tax does not apply to registered motorhomes, as they are legally considered movable property, not real estate. However, if a motorhome is permanently parked and connected to utilities, the tax authorities may demand payment. Owners can contest such assessments by providing documents proving the vehicle remains mobile.
