I’m under the impression that the really big companies with major brand recognition have staffs for research and development and design engineers who are supposed to think things through and test them before the product goes into production and hits the marketplace.
So why are there so many obvious design flaws and shortcomings in all the products that I use day in and day out? The vacuum cleaner has a cord wrap that is on the wrong side of the handle. The retractable dog leash for medium dogs - which is what I have - has a plastic molded handles that is too small for my hand to fit through. Just because I have a medium dog does not mean that I am a medium human with medium size hands. The pouring spout on the laundry detergent bottle is oriented for right handed people. Well, what about the 20% or so of the women who wash laundry and happen to be left handed?
WHO are the people who design these things? Why do they still have a job after such proven incompetence?
