Evaluation of Appliances
Appliance Evaluation: Pros
The first step in redesigning the heat
gun was comparing it to other appliances
that cook food, and evaluating
the strengths and weaknesses to
improve on.
The chart on the right show a graphical
representation of how heat is distributed
when cooking.
The subsequent pages evaluate each
appliance according to what they are
good or not good at, as well as highlighting
their unique selling points.
This as serves as background research
to justify how the heat gun can differentiate
itself in the market.
