About Cordless Cleaner C030 무선 청소기

코드리스 클리너 C030은 주거 공간에서 사용하도록 만들어진 무선 진공청소기입니다. 이 디자인은 사양만으로 정의되는 가전제품이 아니라, 일상에 색을 더해주는 도구로서 접근되었습니다. 형태는 업무용 장비처럼 단순하고 견고하지만, 가정에 자연스럽게 어우러질 만큼 절제되어 있습니다. 핸들은 알루미늄, 스탠드는 스틸로 제작되었으며, 소형 고성능 DC 모터가 적용되었습니다. 청소기 전체 무게는 1.25kg으로 균형이 잘 잡혀 있어 다루기 쉽습니다. 그립부의 버튼 하나로 저·중·고 흡입 강도를 선택할 수 있습니다.

Unique Properties
This cleaner was carefully designed by reframing it as being a tool that lends color to our daily lives, rather than as a household appliance that is described merely in terms of specifications, as is usually the case. The aim was for a product that, while simple and sturdy like commercial equipment, blended in with the household in which it was used. Its modest, unobtrusive nature assumes that it will be placed in some kind of living space. Since it is extremely light (1.25kg) and has good central balance, it is easy to handle and the user does not tire when using it.
Dimensions & Packaging
Handy unit: H404.0×W98.0×D135.0mm/ 0.85kg,
With extension: H963.0×W220.0×D135.0mm/ 1.25kg

Production Technology
It employs a very small, high performance DC motor that was developed in conjunction with Nidec, which it delivers in a compact package. The simple yet sturdy construction does not just rely on plastic; aluminum is employed for the handle and steel for the stand, and it is easy to dismantle.
Design Challenge
There are so many functional parts in the product, and it was very hard to have it work perfectly and give it balance.
Usually electric appliance industry are good at dealing with plastics such as ABS and PP, but not very good at that of other materials and combinations. Most of company use plastics for making a vacuum cleaner including a stand, for example, but we tried to design the stand made of steel, and the handle made of CNC cut aluminum, to apply the right materials to the right places.
Research
Got thousand of reviews for the previous model from online shops and SNSs. Got advised by professional cleaning person.
Used design research method such as 'Observation' and 'Heuristic evaluation'.
Inspiration
Brooms which are simple, light and easy to handle for cleaning up rooms. Simple and robust like a business-use product, but it blends in with home. Intuitive interface, no excess functions.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2017 and finished in December 2018 in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Operation Flow
One-button-operation. Operation is simple and easy with a button on the grip. Each time the button is pushed, it turns power on with low, medium and high powers. It is turned off by holding down the button.
Very light, well balanced and easy to handle. Sophisticated functions such as mechanisms for a dust cup release, and a brush height switch. You can use it with or without T-nozzle and extension pipe, and it can get a variety of forms.
It can be stored on the stable stand made of steel.
