One-handed operation, ergonomics, and hygienic cleanup workflows

About

Observes caregivers during real meal prep; times lid locking, jar swaps, and sink choreography. Designs one-handed workflows with safe defaults.

Background

I wrote an entire review with a baby snoozing on my shoulder, because that’s how the testing happened. I noted which machines let me load, blend, and rinse with one hand and no swear words. The winners felt calm—like they disappeared into the routine instead of demanding attention.

Perspective

I favor easy-latch lids, intuitive controls, and dishwasher-safe parts.
