That Bob looks decent.  However, £349 is about $610 CAD for which I could get a decent full size machine. 

The bigger problem for North America is we only have 1875W available at the outlet unlike European's that have 3120W available.  Since you aren't getting water from the hot water faucet, you would need to heat that 3 or 4 litres from room temperature.

Absolutely! Hacking needless home appliances into lab equipment is fun and saves a lot of money, like upcycling a cheap mini oven into a reflow oven.

What's interesting in that regard is the fact that its firmware lets you program your own cycles, so it would theoretically be trivial to turn it into a PCB washer!

But of course that's not what it's competing against. It's not for people who have a kitchen that can accommodate a full-size dishwasher, it's for people who don't.

The manual says its maximum power rating is 1000W, so this wouldn't be any kind of limitation, should they choose to add a 120V model.

Since it's only using a maximum of 4L per cycle in total, it means it's probably using a maximum of about 1 liter per phase, which wouldn't take terribly long to heat up at 1000W, especially since it won't be taking it all the way to boiling.

It does say that you can fill the tank with hot water (up to 60C), possibly it could be connected to hot water if one so desired.

thers a uv option,so not only washing the boards but developing them to.Wonder if it can cope with etching fluid instead of water?

My friend has one of these

Pretty sure it's smaller, but it's been a while since I visited there, and I'm too lazy to rewatch the video for dimensions...
