As I mentioned in the last post, once a year the appliance manufacturers show new products in Foxwoods. Predictably, this year was the least inspiring. In a recession, the easiest way to remain profitable is to slash inventories, reduce headcounts and slash R&D. Slashing R&D typically means less new products as was the case on Monday.
Its not all bad. The newer products(2-6 months) may have less features, but also have lower prices. Winners: the new laundry from Bosch, the new Duets from Whirlpool, new GE refrigeration...
Have a look:
The "Gator" looks pretty interesting, wonder what other applications we'll figure out for it.
ReplyDeleteThe Bosch redesign ... hmmm, I always thought that the best thing about the previous design was the controls on the top (rather than the front), not all of us like to stack our w/d's.
