Consumer Appliances

Vacuum cleaners with more suction, blenders with less noise, the perfect cup of coffee! These are some of the factors that influence consumer appliance design. More and more consumer appliances also include LCD screens and user programs designed to make them easier to use. What makes it even more difficult is that design complexity is paralleled with the shrinking market windows and increasing price pressure characteristic of the consumer market.
