Automatic human washing machine

From clothes to dogs, now it seems humans are also being tossed into the wash. The Avant Santelubain 999 is putting the spin on clean with a life-sized washing machine that can deliver a good rinse to any intrepid user.

For pure indulgence, all you have to do is lie down and let the machine spray you with soap and water, along with infrared light for a steam bath, and even apply on the body lotion. Further pampering comes in the form of aroma and sound therapy, with the option of a seaweed wrap; though how that's done boggles the mind. But our favorite part has to be the self-sterilizing at the end of the cycle; well, not you, the machine.

Despite the foreign-sounding name, this cleaning machine is made in Japan and actually has altruistic uses for those who are either bedridden or handicapped. There's just one niggly problem. The idea of closing this on top of yourself could bring out those latent claustrophic tendencies. So what's the price? The site doesn't say so, although it certainly won't be chump change.
