But wouldn't a piece of clothing and water-soap do the trick? 104$ for a
gadget that will probably take more time cleaning the track than what you'd
take to wide it clean with a cloth, it seems expansive to me. Furthemore,
isn't it a waste of energy? Ok, ok, it's a detail, but it does use
electricity for cleaning, right? I don't really see the use of wasting
electricity, even so little, to make a 104$ machine do something we could
do by hand in less time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this thing looks to me like a waste of energy
(in the way that it's useless to develop it IMHO)
Anyway, good luck to you guys with it. If you can make money out of this,
I'll be happy for you.
