CFM Home Products collaborated with Cesaroni Design to aesthetically transform their current product line. Our product designers refined form factors, color schemes and instructional graphics from preliminary sketches through prototyping.

Cesaroni Design's industrial design team proposed constructing the new unit with a blow-molded polyethylene fuel tank, instead of the traditional stamped steel tank. This manufacturing method gives the new unit a distinctive look and feel and is as durable as the previous model.

Our product design firm reduced production costs by simplifying manufacturing and assembly processes. The previous unit required 12 screws and 5 parts for assembly. Our new product design requires only 4 screws and 3 parts.

The product designers developed a plastic top cover to integrate the fuel tank and protect the heat tube. This protective cover can be removed by the user to access internal components. 

The ergonomic handle design gives the user the ability to lift and pull the device. We positioned the user interface higher for better viewing.

The new product design earned EID First Place from Appliance Design Magazine.
