Design for Longer Life


The brief
We buy more than 59 million small electrical products each year. A recent small appliances reliability survey conducted by Which Magazine, revealed that consumer expectation of product lifespan of their small kitchen appliances (i.e., toasters, kettles, coffee machines, food processors etc) is much higher than they actually are. For this project you are required to Design and prototype a kettle or a toaster so that it serves for longer than usual, using the below outlined Design for Longer Life approaches.
