Re: Fix This…
That what makes Dyson stand out the rest. Design, Invent and Engineer all rolled into one.
I’m not aware of any lux product that stood out the rest in terms of design and engineering. Perhaps they ran out of ideas, hence brought in designers.
Re: Fix This…
Design competition whilst a whole concept may well get scrapped, tit bits do get developed, progressed to final build, its also a way of designers getting noticed.
Its an import piece of a large jigsaw and one with merit.
An example.
Apples concept of a smart phone from the 1980’s. It would never work, yet has many features found in phones today.

By Eck, that reminds me of the special perspex glass we used to fit to the first Bosch produced Hotpoint 700/800 series dishwashers way back in the 70’s. As the dedicated dishwasher engineer for the North Manchester area I had to set them up in places like the Co-op and the local Electricity Showrooms.
It was a full size perspex window that fitted in the front of the dishwasher. You had to do a small wiring mod, disconnect the heater, swap some wires to the motor, fill it with water and a quantity of that stuff they used for soaking babies bottles in ( name escapes me ATM, came in a large brown plastic bottle ) to sterilise the water. The machine was then left running constantly on display in the showrooms. In those days very few people had a dishwasher so it was something of a novelty. The only problem was that the machine had to be left running with the door dropped down which either took up a lot of floor space or tripped up customers not looking where they were going.

When I first started with hotpoint quite a few of us had those Perspex doors for testing dishwashers. They soon stopped using them though
Re: Fix This…
They must have them left over from the demo days and decided to try to put them to use.

Just came to me in a flash, the sterilising fluid we used was called Milton, I think you can still get it today but not in big brown bottles. 😀

That new Samsung washing machine… £1700!!!
Guessing it won’t be a volume seller then.
Apparently it beans light at the clothes to figure out how dirty they are.
Good luck to those that get a service call on one because, you will given that most of the people that will buy one seem struggle to operate a machine without the technology. 😉
