RESEARCH
"It doesn't matter if it's touch or tactile buttons, the only important thing is that one understand how to use it without instructions."
"Since I have a small apartment I always have to occupy the whole living room when I sort the clothes after washing"
"I hate washing clothes so it would be awesome to make the process faster somehow"
"It would have been nice with some information of how much water and energy you use"
"Everyone talks about these washing machines that are connected to an app but I don't get it. Why would I run the machine through the phone when I have to walk to the machine to put in the clothes anyways?"
"To wash clothes must be the most boring thing I know"
"All machines now days has so many sounds! I get so annoyed of it."
"It's the supply of washing machines that decides the layout of the washing room, it shouldn't be like that."
"I care about the environment a lot and I would like to have a washing machine that are more sustainable"
"I need the main functions, that's it. All the new washing machines has an overwhelming amount of functions which I find unnecessary"
