I have just come home from a typical afternoon working at Target where customers come and return products because they don't work or simply just do not want what they purchased. Okay fair enough.
However I just had to share with you the Black and Decker 12V Dustbuster® Pivot® Hand Vac http://www.blackanddecker.com.au/homeproducts/productdetails/catno/PV1210/
Looks neat yeh...ha ha ha...no. The design is impossible to fit back into its packaging box, and it has all these parts that are meant to move if you press this button but they are not good pushy inner buttons, you need some real force behind it. Be careful when you charge it as it stands on its end on this flat charging base. Many times it was knocked over and then the filter and dust compartments would fall out on the floor. Not cool.
I guess what I am trying to vent about is...this is a good example of where practicality needs to be considered and where it is going to be stored and not just about cool shapes - and even packaging it back into the box. I know they boxes are designed certain ways but this one it is probably as bad as solving a Rubiks cube to put the product back in if you want to store it or return it etc. Maybe it is easy for the user, but I sure didn't feel it would work well.
Anyways back to the drawing board trying to make my radio not like that hand vacuum cleaner.
Mote.
