Potato+peeler+experiment

Experiment Introduction.
Our experiment was based on evaluating and assesing the qualities and drawbacks of 5 different potato peelers. We evaluated the different peelers in pairs, and used resources such as a 6-3-5 Matrix, and a Design Plate.
 * **criteria** || **ideal specification** || **problems with existing product** || **improvements** ||
 * **maintenance** || must be easy to clean || too many awkward areas to clean || handle covers whole structure ||
 * **performance** || must have a sharp and wide corer || corer was not sharp or wide enough. || widen blade and redesign point. ||
 * **target user** || should have a non exclusive target audience. || n/a || n/a ||
 * **safety** || should have no sharp edges or points exposed. || no guard covering the blade. handle leaves inside exposed, could catch skin. || cover blade and handle appropriately ||
 * **ergonomics** || should provide good grip should be comfortable to hold. || the handle needs more grip and to cover a larger area of the product. || extend handle all the way round. deepen and extend grip pattern. ||
 * **manufacture** || should be easy and inexpensive to manufacture || metal needs to be bent and then welded into place || redesign the handle so that it can be made in a mould. ||
 * **sustainability** || should be recyclable || wouldnt be cost effective to recycle because it is so cheap anyway. || n/a ||
 * **appearance** || should be attractive and neutral to colour schemes. || is not stainless and does not have an attractive finish. || change the material to a more suitable material e.g. stainless steel ||
