Designs for blenders today have became too repetitive and mundane. With the similarities between each design, the same problems occur.

Silent Mix will allow for users to freely and easily use a blender no matter the audience or environment.

Things like difficulty cleaning, The inevitable mess, an inability to finish its task but for every single blender one thing is true. They are too loud!

Most used Blender Brands across the industry and at home market.

Waring Commercial

Cusinart

Bases

Prefer blenders that are easier to clean. Meaning detachable pieces and washability is important.

Revisions

A durable material often used in kitchen appliances creating a sense of unity

Vitamex

No Cut Out or Button Casing

Research

Although each company has a different shape and aesthetic to their blender all have the same components that allow them to stay together.

Lid
Jar
Blades
Gasket (seals the gap between two surfaces)
Base

Design Inspo

A retro inspired compartment with a soft pop of color, and organic or geometric edges. Slotted pieces that create unity and accessibility

Most research today shows that blender users aim towards stand alone rather than a by hand blender.

Vibrations and sound inhibit user from using blender when wanted. Meaning soundproof casing.

Design Chosen

Locking Mechanism

Touch Screen Display

Rounded Edges

Inner Cushioning (Better Fit)

Outer Cushioning (Stability)

Blender “Camera” Display

KitchenAid

With these things in mind I decided to focus more on the casing for the blender then of the design of the blender container. This will allow me the focus on the problem that Silent~Mix aims to solve.

Mechanism Breakdown

The Silent Mix will come with a chosen base holder depending on the consumers already owned blender.

This shows me that the shape of the base doesn’t matter but the general slipping lock and the gasket are what I should focus on . In the market optimally I would work with these companies to out line the bottom of their jar to create the insides. I will still include the gasket in to every Silent Mix model

The locking mechanism works to connect the blender and the inner mechanics of the silent mix. Each locking mechanism will match the name brands base model for easy attachment and removal.
