Users Reaction To The Viral Video

While the idea of using a washing machine to peel potatoes might seem innovative to some, many users expressed skepticism and concern. One user, @raajuprince, commented, "Editing  look at the peeled patterns," suggesting that the uniform peeling seen in the image might be digitally altered. Another user said, “Look carefully! Such accurate peeling can't happen in a washing machine.”

Another one wrote, “Next time add spices, groceries etc May be it makes dishes. So, It Automatically removes peel etc and save chopping time also.” 

One of the users asked Grok, “@grok does this practically work,” to which the AI replied, “No, it doesn’t practically work. Using a washing machine to clean potatoes risks contamination from detergent and metal particles, plus it can damage both the potatoes and the machine. Traditional scrubbing under cold water with a brush is safer, more effective, and keeps your spuds clean and ready to eat. Stick to that!”
