Reviews Reveal Dodgy Product Designs

6 months ago 20th Jun 16:14

Other products named and shamed were battery powered heated gloves which don’t heat the whole hand, another dishwasher which doesn’t fit standard mugs, and an oven which heats up on the inside and the outside.

Chris Winstanley continues: “Genuine customer reviews give shoppers the whole story about a product, helping them decide what to buy. At the same time, they also help manufacturers develop better products.

TOP DODGY DESIGNS – see Reevoo’s blog, Decide What to Buy for the complete list

1. Bosch KGU30605 Fridge - the egg tray which only holds five eggs instead of the standard six.

2. Zanussi ZWF14581 Washing Machine - The default temperature when you choose cotton or synthetics is always 60 degrees. But almost all synthetics are labelled 40 degrees or less.

3. LG 37LF66 Television - that doesn't turn off. You have to pull the plug out of the wall to turn the TV off.

4. Easy Store Large Slide - the bright yellow colour attracts thousands of bugs in summertime.

5. Kenwood DW12CFE Dishwasher - Normal sized plates stacked as design suggests in the bottom tray stop the spray arm spinning, and thus the top layer does not get washed. Trays are non removable so the dishwasher won't run without the top tray in. Hard to fit standard sized dinner plates.
