With some luck and waiting in line, we were able to get our hands on one of the first NASCAR Washer’s sets we saw in the store.  So, we took this opportunity to fully document its unboxing. A few pictures and our initial reactions follow.

Obviously, the packaging is a sterling example of Fundex minimalism.

After removing the packaging, we are left with a clean black box.  The NASCAR labeling stands out, but does take away from the overall design.  The box itself feels substantial. And, it does not appear that Fundex cut any corners in its construction.

When we open the unit up, we are pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail.  However we can’t help but notice the stunning design similarities taken from our friends up in Cupertino.

Conclusion
It looks like Fundex has a winner on its hands here.  The attention to detail taken during the design of the product its obvious.  And, it is readily apparent that the designers did not sacrifice quality while rushing the product to market.  While the design of the device itself is not entirely original, I am sure this will not bother long time fans of the company.  At $25, the NASCAR Washer Set is a perfect compliment to your backyard barbecue.

Stay tuned for a full review.  We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Busch Light and Brats so that we can put this device through more thorough scrutiny.

Thanks to Engadget for providing images of the Apple TV for comparison.
