Ok, so most of my posts have been critical of designs. So, I figured I would write one about a product that I actually think has a good design and I enjoy using (kind of). That would be my trimmer, the Norelco Acu-Control. I've been using it since high school and have never had a bad trim. The reason I like it so much is because it is so simple to use. There is only one button, the on/off button, so there is absolutely no confusion as to it's function. Besides that, there is a click-wheel that adjusts the height of the shave you will get. I don't know why, but I find it really satisfying to spin the wheel to the right, hear it click, and see the guard move up. I could do it all day. Also, the numbers corresponding to the different heights fit my mental model. There are 9 different settings, 1 corresponding to the lowest setting and 9 to the highest setting. How easy is that? It has no frills, no extra unnecessary features and that's what I like about it. It lets you get the job done quickly and efficiently.
