39. one devices 43 13 Conclusions and visions The functions of the hand blander differ from model to model which depends on how many different attachments the device has We can see on the market that hand blenders are already capable of performing all the functions that a multi functional appliance has but on a smaller scale The success of a function and the amount of food that a function can process depends on a motor power and quality of the tool The variety of functions that one needs brings us many different tools which means lots of different parts to assemble and clean This 1s unacceptable for the lifestyle of a modern man so our product design process should be oriented towards the simplification of the tools and producing only few tools and attachments that could perform all the functions that the urban man needs on his hand blender From research of market competitive products and patents we conclude that modern products have in most cases serious performances A modern men needs kitchen appliances to be small and not to bother him if he does not need it A new product development must be oriented towards reducing the size but retaining the existing features and functions of the device It is necessary to consider the possibility of construction devices for food preparation that are independent of connection on electric power This type of devices can be used on fieldtrips to nature on let s say barbecue A hand blender designed
