When I saw this first thing I thought was AW.org. I can think of many ideas that can make it big, or at least influence appliances today. Whats so cool is that they let ordinary people have a say instead of confidential corporate meetings that crank out products consumers never wanted in the first place (think Whirlpool Polera range lol). What do you think?

Companies do consider input from consumers already. As far as government is concerned, if the Haier acquisition happens, since Haier is controlled by the Chinese govt., and it is aware of the global population of nearly 8 billion with limited fresh water, and natural resourses, do the math your self. | ||

China's population is nearly 1,400,000,000 with India not far behind at nearly 1,350,000,000. It seems Asia is the biggest problem so why should they be dictating anything to us? Sorry. I realize this wasn't supposed to be the original concept of this thread. Here's what's really going on. This is unsustainable!

democracy...
Not so much. Americans are highly apathetic creatures and seem to put up with anything. Americans just don't understand and in turn think its normal/trendy to have a machine that can't clean and breaks down after 6 months. All thanks to education and media or rather what it fails to do. Today's generation is by far the worse. They know nothing about old machines other than they seem old and thus "waste" energy and the latest is always the greatest. When any short falls do come up they simply assume that is the best the laws of physics will allow and deal with it. Modern society marinates in mediocrity as they are told its the best of the best. Nothing could be further from the truth but its the thinking that permeates everything. Manufactures play off of it making obscene profit in the process.

I think consumer input is essential to good sales and business. It does seem like not just GE, but other manufacturers are also taking consumer opinions into account when making design changes. As evidenced in the new WP top loads that allow for deep fill option.
Government regulations don't always make sense, I'll def agree with that. But unfortunately most citizens don't give a flying flip about the environment or energy conservation unless it affects them directly. If we did everything the way citizens wanted it done, willy nilly, we'd be in a huge mess and no one would take responsibility for it. There are plenty of used options out there for clothes and dish washers that any of us now certainly don't have to worry about being over regulated. | ||
