When I wash the blender pitcher I then put it back on the base. After that I wash the lid and put the lid on the pitcher. But the pitcher and lid are still a little bit wet…so I put the lid on upside down on the pitcher and that way everything can air dry.
After I perform this sequence comes the grand finale…sliding the whole thing back under the cabinets until next time.
And it fits under the cabinets. Just barely. A miracle. A miracle?
It’s like they knew. Like they knew what the standard counter top to cabinet height was…and to come in just below that with the lid flipped over…so that I could put it away while it was drying.
If it was a half an inch taller I would have to leave the whole thing in the middle of the kitchen counter until it was dry. Not the end of the world and doesn’t affect the blender’s performance in any way.
But no. It’s better this way. It doesn’t have to be but it sure is nice.
It’s worth considering how the things we make will play out in real life…and what features, while (maybe) having nothing to do with the thing itself, would make it better for the people who buy in.
