Angles tested

Testing: Testing Tools

Users spent time swapping different handle shapes with different angles. 5 Users total were tested. 3 different angles were tested — a forward angle, an away angle, and a straight angle — and 5 different handle shapes were tested. Overall, the forward angle and handles A and B were most popular.

Design Brief:

  • Forward angle

  • Combination of A & B handles

  • Stand up feature

  • Hand placement indicatiors

  • Handle should focus on using less material
