1. The Vacuum Cleaner: Vacuum Cleaning is a chore that many people have difficulty in completing, which unfortunately is done by many people on a weekly basis, they suffer from difficulty varying from strains and stress in their hands while sucking large pieces of dirt or, if a short, non-adjustable cord is limiting the use of their vacuum cleaning around their house. For these and many other reasons, the makers of the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner decided to re-invent this very common, household tool, to make it ergonomically friendly and comfortable to easily clean your household flooring surfaces. A new, ergonomic improvement the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum has within their design is a double jointed nozzle handle. Using this ergonomic design improvement within the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner reduces the amount of stress and strains while vacuuming hard to reach places, because of the difficulty cleaning hard to reach places such as underneath furniture or between tight corners, and, the double jointed nozzle head design allows users to reduce the damage to their delicate furniture because of increased force by pushing an ordinary, upright vacuum into the furniture body. Users who have difficulty pushing and pulling heavy, upright vacuum cleaners into hard to reach places, or, users who don’t like damaging their own furniture to clean their own house with a heavy vacuum, will enjoy the increased comfort and nozzle flexibility the redesigned Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner has to offer. A second ergonomic design improvement made on the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner, is its cordless and battery operated mobility. Having a short cord on a large, heavy , upright vacuum, causes stress, strain and time consumption, for users who have to constantly move the cord into different sockets around the area to clean their entire house, or, even a small part of it, which is why the cordless and battery operated mobility feature the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum helps in reducing the stress of constant unplugging and allowing more flexibility for the user, to clean anywhere around their house without plugging in a cord every time they move. Now, with this new ergonomic design, users will have the ability to reduce the amount of time needed to vacuum a large space in their house because of constant unplugging, and, increase the flexibility and span of their cleaning around the house, in an appropriate and efficient amount of time. The final ergonomic improvement designed on the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner is a brush roll cleaning tool. The brush roll cleaning tool in the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum can reduce the amount of strain and stress to clean hard to capture debris such as thick hair or thick pieces of string, because of repetitive motions used to capture these types of tough debris. With this tool made into the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner, having to suck in thick balls of hair or thick balls of string can be done easily and efficiently, while increasing the comfort of having to do a common household chore.
Disadvantages to the Electrolux Ergo Rapido Vacuum Cleaner: Along with the re-designed, ergonomic improvements made to the vacuum cleaner, many users have also found some unexpected, uncomfortable, ergonomic design setbacks to the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner. The first ergonomic disadvantage the Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner has along with their supposed “ergonomic” design is a short, 10 minute battery life. Many users have found, that after a long period of charging, during cleaning they find the battery of the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner quickly declining after a short, 10 minute use! This uncomfortable and also non-ergonomic setback increases the amount of force needed to constantly charge the vacuum in between cleaning sessions, and, reduce the amount of time users have, to do a “weekly” cleaning of their entire house, possibly causing them to rush a cleaning session in their house and not collect a good amount of dirt and debris around their house. Another ergonomic drawback and disadvantage to the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner is a small, dirt collecting tool within the vacuum body. With a vacuum cleaner that collects only a small and minimal amount of dirt during every cleaning session, the user suffers from a constant stress of stopping between cleanings to remove the debris and dirt from the holder, and is forced to only clean small parts of their house or area at a time, which increases time consumption and increases stress for the user to clean their entire household, a little bit at a time! The final ergonomic setback that has, unfortunately, been designed into the Electrolux Ergo Rapido vacuum cleaner is an easily, jammed, brush roll cleaning tool. While collecting thick pieces of debris on floor surfaces, some users have found that they are using an increased amount of force to suck in the tough debris using the supposed, “ergonomically” designed tool, and while using repetitive motions to capture these thick pieces of dirt, the brush roll tool of the Electrolux Ergo Rapido can be easily jammed or stopped during cleaning sessions, from tough and hard debris getting stuck within the tool, proving a new, ergonomically designed tool, may not be as comfortable and as stress relieving for some users, as the design had intended.
2. The Robohandle: Common household cleaning tools such as a snow shovel or a tall broom can cause a good amount of stress and strain within the wrists and forearms to the user during routine cleaning periods. Simple strains experienced by users using simple, household tools is the main reason why the inventor of the Robohandle, decided to enhance the comfort and safety of the use of countless household tools, inventing an add on accessory to reduce the stresses and strains from the use of common household tools and increase the comfort of these tools during cleaning periods. An ergonomic improvement the Robohandle, accessory has that enhances the comfort of the tool is an extended handle design. Applying the extended handle design to common household tools, this ergonomic improvement the Robohandle adds onto many household tools has been proven to reduce torque maneuver by 500-600% while using simple, household tools, and, reduces the amount of stress found in the wrist and forearms from moving the tool in constant and repetitive motions, and aims to engage the user’s biceps and triceps while using the household tool, to control and move the tool easily, without putting the rest of your body such as your hands and wrists to unnecessary stress. Anybody who has experienced unnecessary stress onto their wrists and hands while using a simple, household tool will enjoy using the Robohandle extended handle feature on their tools, to increase the comfort and reduce manoeuvres needed to complete a simple, household chore. A flexible and an easy to use feature within the design of the Robohandle , and, the final ergonomic benefit in their design is an easily attachable handle tool. Allowing this ergonomically friendly tool to be easily and simply attached onto almost 90% of all types of household tool handles (medium sized Robohandle, large handles are suited for heavy duty gardening tools), also allows the user to simply interchange between tools with the ergonomic Robohandle, without buying several different ergonomic household tools or accessories for different types of chores and tasks, reducing the stresses of changing tools to complete household chores. The easily attachable Robohandle feature, allows users to quickly and efficiently switch a comfortable handle between tools and tasks, with limited difficulty to attach a very versatile accessory onto their tools. A final, non ergonomic improvement made within the Robohandle design, is allowing each of the Robohandle attached tools to save space within storage. The Robohandle design, not only easily attaches to almost 90% of household tools, but, increases the space efficiency of any attached tools, by allowing the tools to be easily hung within storage and small spaces, also letting the user easily return and pick up their tools without having to place them tucked tightly together, in closed spaces or hard to reach places.
Disadvantages to the Robohandle tool: Along with the many versatile uses of the easily attachable Robohandle tool, some users have found some ergonomic and uncomfortable design setbacks and disadvantages to this “comfortable” and “ergonomic”, household tool. The first ergonomic design setback and disadvantage some users have found within the “ergonomic” design of the Robohandle tool is an increased amount of force used with push brooms. Some users have found that when attaching the Robohandle tool onto a push broom, it requires an increased amount of force to push the broom forwards repetitively, rather than the tool reducing the amount of force from the user to push it forwards! With this ergonomic design setback and disadvantage, users will not enjoy the lack of flexibility the Robohandle provides them with when attached to a push broom, causing them more force to user the tools together. The final ergonomic disadvantage and design setback found within the Robohandle is a constant, wrist repositioning. When attaching the Robohandle extended tool onto an upright dustpan, some users have found they needed to constantly reposition their wrist while cleaning, to find the best position for their wrist, causing them added force to move their wrist on the tool while cleaning. Having this ergonomic disadvantage and design setback within the Robohandle tool, requires more of the user’s force to continuously change their wrist position, proving a seemingly, versatile tool to be a little less ergonomic and uncomfortable to use on some types of tools.
3. The pillow: For many people, the pillow is an important factor within their sleep that can cause them many stresses and strains, from overnight back aches to uncomfortable morning body aches, which can cause them discomfort and sleep interruption. The re-designed, ergonomic Tempur-Neck pillow adjusts to the typical side sleeper, and aids in reducing the stresses and strains associated with an uncomfortable, ordinary pillow. All of the ergonomic benefits and improvements the Tempur-Neck pillow have included in their design, is in their unique, curved, ergonomic shape and design. One of the ergonomic improvements the Tempur-Neck pillow has within the curved shape and design is the improvement of in controlling sleep posture and muscle relaxation. The unique curve and shape of the Tempur-Neck pillow helps to control the user’s sleep posture throughout sleep, to aid in alleviating and reducing neck and back pain, while the curved design also aligns the head, neck, shoulders and back during sleep, to increase relaxation of the user’s muscles while sleeping and aids in alleviating neck, shoulder and back pain by increasing muscle relaxation while sleeping. Having a uniquely curved, ergonomic pillow not only aids in relieving neck and back pain while increasing muscle relaxation, but most importantly, helps the user increase their chances of having a comfortable, long rest, every night. Another ergonomic design improvement embedded in the Tempur-Neck pillow design and ergonomic shape, is aligning the head position of the user during sleep. With a uniquely designed, ergonomic curve, the Tempur-Neck pillow keeps the head in position during sleep, without forcing the head to rest too high or allowing it to rest to far back, as found in common, household pillows, while in return helps in reducing preventable neck stress or the eventual stoppage of breathing during sleep. Using the Tempur–Neck pillow with its ergonomic and comfortable curve within their design, allows the user to reduce preventable and common neck stress associated with ordinary, household pillows, and allows proper circulation of breathing during sleep, which as a result, aids in giving the user an enjoyable and uninterrupted sleep. The final ergonomic improvement within the unique curve and shape of the Tempur-Neck pillow is an aid in alleviating unnecessary pressure and allowing proper circulation. People who suffer from unnecessary, added pressure within their sleep , can experience preventable morning stiffness within their body, or of a feeling of a lack of proper circulation in their bodies during sleep, will enjoy the ergonomic curve and design of the Tempur-Neck pillow, which can reduce the unnecessary pressure, help in avoiding preventable morning stiffness and allow proper circulation within the body while sleeping, to ensure that the user’s sleep is not only a long, deep rest, but also, a comfortable and ergonomically friendly one.
Disadvantages to using the Tempur-Neck pillow: Unfortunately added on with the supposed “ergonomic” and “uniquely” designed Tempur-Neck pillow, many users have found that this “comfortable” pillow also comes with unnecessary, ergonomic disadvantages and design setbacks. The first ergonomic disadvantage and design setback found within the Tempur-Neck pillow is the lack of firmness within the pillow. While attempting to experience a supposed “comfortable” sleep, some users have found that the Tempur-Neck pillow has a lack of firmness within their design, which can cause an interruption during sleep, from an increased force of holding the shape of the pillow together, with the user’s hands and arms. Not only does the Tempur-Neck pillow’s design lack firmness to hold their shape during sleep, it has been found by some users to be a little heavy for a pillow, and increases the force of holding the pillow manually during sleep and of the heavy weight of the pillow with the user’s head, neck, shoulder and back resting on the user’s arm to hold the shape, which causes the user to have a rough, interrupted sleep. The second design setback and ergonomic disadvantage some users have found while using the Tempur-Neck Pillow is the uncomfortable curved shape of the pillow. Some users have found, that while they are sleeping with the Tempur-Neck pillow, they experienced their heads resting in an uncomfortably high position, because of the “ergonomic” curves of the pillow, and, they have felt an interruption and eventual decrease of blood flow and circulation, due to the feel of the uncomfortable curves of the pillow onto their bodies. The Tempur-Neck pillow’s unique curve and design seemed to work opposing its intentions for certain users, by its lack of flexibility to different neck sizes, leaving some users to experience uncomfortably high head positions, and, by eventually stopping and blocking blood flow and circulation, leaving the user with a short, interrupted and uncomfortable sleep. The last ergonomic disadvantage and design setback some users have found within the Tempur-Neck pillow is the design, or “unique” curves of the pillow, which caused headaches and neck pains for some users. Replacing their old, uncomfortable, ordinary pillow with the supposed “comfortable” and “ergonomic” Tempur-Neck pillow allowed some users to experience the uncomfortable side of the pillow, with headaches while sleeping, and allowed some users to experience neck pains, using a pillow which aimed to reduce neck pain. Experiencing uncomfortable headaches during sleep, or suffering from neck pains using the “ergonomic” Tempur Neck pillow because of its ”unique” curved shape and design, can prove , that some ergonomically designed products, may not be ergonomically designed at all, depending on the user.

The pillow: For many people, the pillow is an important factor within their sleep that can cause them many stresses and strains, from overnight back aches to uncomfortable morning body aches, which can cause them discomfort and sleep interruption. The re-designed, ergonomic Tempur-Neck pillow adjusts to the typical side sleeper, and aids in reducing the stresses and strains associated with an uncomfortable, ordinary pillow. All of the ergonomic benefits and improvements the Tempur-Neck pillow have included in their design, is in their unique, curved, ergonomic shape and design. One of the ergonomic improvements the Tempur-Neck pillow has within the curved shape and design is the improvement of in controlling sleep posture and muscle relaxation. The unique curve and shape of the Tempur-Neck pillow helps to control the user’s sleep posture throughout sleep, to aid in alleviating and reducing neck and back pain, while the curved design also aligns the head, neck, shoulders and back during sleep, to increase relaxation of the user’s muscles while sleeping and aids in alleviating neck, shoulder and back pain by increasing muscle relaxation while sleeping. Having a uniquely curved, ergonomic pillow not only aids in relieving neck and back pain while increasing muscle relaxation, but most importantly, helps the user increase their chances of having a comfortable, long rest, every night. Another ergonomic design improvement embedded in the Tempur-Neck pillow design and ergonomic shape, is aligning the head position of the user during sleep. With a uniquely designed, ergonomic curve, the Tempur-Neck pillow keeps the head in position during sleep, without forcing the head to rest too high or allowing it to rest to far back, as found in common, household pillows, while in return helps in reducing preventable neck stress or the eventual stoppage of breathing during sleep. Using the Tempur–Neck pillow with its ergonomic and comfortable curve within their design, allows the user to reduce preventable and common neck stress associated with ordinary, household pillows, and allows proper circulation of breathing during sleep, which as a result, aids in giving the user an enjoyable and uninterrupted sleep. The final ergonomic improvement within the unique curve and shape of the Tempur-Neck pillow is an aid in alleviating unnecessary pressure and allowing proper circulation. People who suffer from unnecessary, added pressure within their sleep , can experience preventable morning stiffness within their body, or of a feeling of a lack of proper circulation in their bodies during sleep, will enjoy the ergonomic curve and design of the Tempur-Neck pillow, which can reduce the unnecessary pressure, help in avoiding preventable morning stiffness and allow proper circulation within the body while sleeping, to ensure that the user’s sleep is not only a long, deep rest, but also, a comfortable and ergonomically friendly one.
Disadvantages to using the Tempur-Neck pillow: Unfortunately added on with the supposed “ergonomic” and “uniquely” designed Tempur-Neck pillow, many users have found that this “comfortable” pillow also comes with unnecessary, ergonomic disadvantages and design setbacks. The first ergonomic disadvantage and design setback found within the Tempur-Neck pillow is the lack of firmness within the pillow. While attempting to experience a supposed “comfortable” sleep, some users have found that the Tempur-Neck pillow has a lack of firmness within their design, which can cause an interruption during sleep, from an increased force of holding the shape of the pillow together, with the user’s hands and arms. Not only does the Tempur-Neck pillow’s design lack firmness to hold their shape during sleep, it has been found by some users to be a little heavy for a pillow, and increases the force of holding the pillow manually during sleep and of the heavy weight of the pillow with the user’s head, neck, shoulder and back resting on the user’s arm to hold the shape, which causes the user to have a rough, interrupted sleep. The second design setback and ergonomic disadvantage some users have found while using the Tempur-Neck Pillow is the uncomfortable curved shape of the pillow. Some users have found, that while they are sleeping with the Tempur-Neck pillow, they experienced their heads resting in an uncomfortably high position, because of the “ergonomic” curves of the pillow, and, they have felt an interruption and eventual decrease of blood flow and circulation, due to the feel of the uncomfortable curves of the pillow onto their bodies. The Tempur-Neck pillow’s unique curve and design seemed to work opposing its intentions for certain users, by its lack of flexibility to different neck sizes, leaving some users to experience uncomfortably high head positions, and, by eventually stopping and blocking blood flow and circulation, leaving the user with a short, interrupted and uncomfortable sleep. The last ergonomic disadvantage and design setback some users have found within the Tempur-Neck pillow is the design, or “unique” curves of the pillow, which caused headaches and neck pains for some users. Replacing their old, uncomfortable, ordinary pillow with the supposed “comfortable” and “ergonomic” Tempur-Neck pillow allowed some users to experience the uncomfortable side of the pillow, with headaches while sleeping, and allowed some users to experience neck pains, using a pillow which aimed to reduce neck pain. Experiencing uncomfortable headaches during sleep, or suffering from neck pains using the “ergonomic” Tempur Neck pillow because of its ”unique” curved shape and design, can prove , that some ergonomically designed products, may not be ergonomically designed at all, depending on the user.
