What looks good or bad is a very personal decision, but if a manufacturer can't make a product that looks good to somebody, then they probably can't make one that sounds good to anybody. The two go hand in hand. It doesn't have to be stylish or ornate, but a product should look like someone took a few minutes to think about how it looks. As an example, I had waffle iron that had plastic feet and when you stored the iron upright the plastic feet made a smiley face. So simple and they didn't have to do it, but they cared. The waffles clearly tasted better!
How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions?
Right or wrong, I have always taken what a component looks like into consideration when making a purchase. I like my components to look good.
Much like when I buy clothes. Fit, comfort and construction are important, but clothing also has to make you feel good when you wear it.
How do you feel about it.
Do you want everything to have a certain synergy of appearance, or are you okay wearing brown shoes with a tuxedo? So to speak.

@dekay it lasted 20 years but it died about 5 years ago and we couldn't find it anywhere. I can't remember the brand, but I think it was European, but it made American style waffles. |
