For this task I chose my mini handheld vaccum cleaner as it really confused me at my first attempt to use it. As mentioned in the poster the design is simply going against the usual logic, well in my terms at least. The catcher, bag or collecter is actually catching dusts using its convex part or bottom which is also a pain when emptying the cleaner as all the dust spills out when I try. I really suspected the design so I tired loading the catcher the assumed way and of coruse it failed. I also realised that while I'm carrying the cleaner around bits of dust manange to pollute my clothes which really confused me. I later realised this occurs as the direction of the plastic rim of the bag create gaps which lead straight to the gap where the front detachable part meets the end half.
So in order to solve or prvent this enigma for users I have decided to simply reverse this irrational design making it clear which direction it operates. I also decided to add an additional handle to the product which makes it clear which way to unload as well as making it easier to unload not having to fumble with your fingers trying to pick the plastic edge to be rid of the catcher. To solve the dust slipping out I also encorporated a plastic or rubber rim around the bag so no dust manages to exit due to the direction of suction. I hope this succesfully solves the problem!
