Sebin Saji, an Indian prodigy has won the Guinness World Records for building the smallest washing machine in the world. The techie had manufactured the tiniest machine measuring 1.28 inches by 1.32 inches by 1.52 inches, making it smaller than a Tamagotchi digital pet, a popular handheld toy from the 1990s.
However, despite the microsize, the machine operates similarly to an ordinary one. Saji’s design has received wide attention for its precise craftsmanship and for demonstrating the possibility of miniaturization in engineering.

With the help of special digital callipers to measure, he had built-in a washing machine that can run for a full cycle: wash, rinse, and spin. In a video, Sebin has demonstrated the working by first scooping up just a pinch of washing powder and pouring the water in before closing it up and setting it off.

A crowd had gathered to watch him show off his engineering skills and applause broke out when the measurement was announced. Though it is impractical to use the machine for the washing, it is lot more fun. The world’s smallest vacuum cleaner was created in India, measuring just 0.65 cm at its shortest axis.

A 23-year-old student earned place in Guinness World Records after creating the smaller vaccum cleaner. Tapala Nadamuni from NIT Patna had built the vaccum cleaner sized smaller than a pinker fingernail. He had originally held the title in 2020 and after two rejected attempts, the techie is back in top.
