# Discrete Dual-Purpose Appliances The Revolvy 2 in 1 Pulls Double Duty as a Blender and Mixer By Michael Hines | Published 2011-07-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolvy-2-in-1 References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/07/27/blend-and-mix-in-a-swoop/) If you have issues with ridiculously [cramped kitchen counters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-kitchen-appliances), then you are going to love the Revolvy 2 in 1 by Wonkook Lee. The Revolvy 2 in 1 is a [combination blender and mixer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenwood-cooking-chef) that can fold and be hung from a hook for easy storage. What's not to love? The answer is nothing. Using the Revolvy 2 in 1 is simple, simply unfold the appliance and insert either the [mixing or blending attachment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blending-system). Besides saving space, this concept would be great for saving a little bit of money on the electric bill as it would have to be unplugged after every use. The device is handheld, which could be cumbersome to some, but I believe the pros outweigh the cons in this design. You can check out conceptual images of the Revolvy 2 in 1 here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dual-purpose Appliances:** The trend of dual-purpose appliances opens up opportunities for innovative products that save space and offer multiple functionalities. - **Space-saving Kitchen Gadgets:** The trend of space-saving kitchen gadgets presents opportunities for compact, foldable appliances that can easily be stored and hung, minimizing clutter. - **Handheld Kitchen Devices:** The trend of handheld kitchen devices creates possibilities for convenient and portable appliances that provide flexibility and ease of use. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance Industry:** The home appliance industry can capitalize on the trend of dual-purpose appliances by developing innovative products that cater to consumers' need for efficiency and space-saving solutions. - **Kitchen Gadget Industry:** The kitchen gadget industry can leverage the trend of space-saving kitchen gadgets to design and market compact and foldable appliances that appeal to consumers with limited kitchen space. - **Small Appliance Manufacturing Industry:** The small appliance manufacturing industry can explore opportunities in the trend of handheld kitchen devices by creating handheld appliances that provide convenience, versatility, and easy storage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [One-Base Appliance Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutribullet-triple-prep-system.md) - [Sustainable Kitchen Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix.md) - [Smart Processing Blenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchenhub.md) - [One-Person Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-cooking-appliance.md) - [Eight-in-One Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchyhub.md) - [Multi-Functional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-kitchen-tools.md) - [Industrial Design Blenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jar-blender.md) - [Modular Handheld Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circulab.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pronto-and-alto.md)
