I'd like to say only in America would something like this cause a braingasm. Oh how my heart aches for one of those. The thought of two turns my legs to jelly and leaves me on the floor crying like a little French girl. Sadly even one will probably be outside my budget for a very long time (forever). So I'll just sit back for a few moments starting at the screen whispering "Some day..."
While it would seem like a very easy way to go about cleaning and lubing, and I wouldn't mind it too much... I think I'm gonna stick with my $3.00 bottle of Hoppes #9, my bore brushes, old toothbrush, and patches. Cleaning a gun shouldn't take too long if you know how to disassemble it. Some of my pistols take all of 5 second to disassemble, others a bit more, while my rifles and shotguns take a tad bit longer still. All told, I usually spend about 10 mins. per gun, which can add up if I take 'em all to the range. Reassembly is rather quick, unless its my stupid SKS with the super tight spring under the trigger assembly that needs 5 hands to put back into place.
I'd say, for a post outbreak item, that could be quite profitable, think of all the cleanup crews out there firing hundreds and thousands of rounds, a person would make a killing off of them if they chose to be a "dry cleaners" for firearms. Every gunsmith should have one. Or anyone that is trusted enough in the community to take care of firearms. This item is not recommended for the weekend warrior.
How long does a handgun or rifle take to clean by hand? What is the cost?
Not saying that that thing isn't awesome, but realistically, is it worth the price?
Depends on the firearm, the condition it's in, and how thorough you want to be. However if you find an albino Mexican work monkey that can handle ten pistols in less than an hour and do it for free by all means drop me a PM.
Only if you were running a business and were going to be part of a very large group. Depending on how much heat it puts out it could probably be used for parkerizing, bluing, and I'm willing to be if you got me drunk enough I could use it as a deep fryer.
Remember people. Time is money.
Edit: If the lottery ticket in my desk was a winner or my father turned out to be a rich/powerful Colombian drug lord you bet I'd buy two.

Not to mention taking care of salvaged/scavenged arms.
Wow. That is awesome.

WOW!
All I can say is WOW!
Sanchez, you have me at a loss for words!
WoW!
I must own one of those!
Except when the power is knocked out during an outbreak.
All for the low price of fifteen thousand dollars!

You lose.
