Hey Guys,
I’ve ended the last update with a sneak peak picture to the new upgraded motors that were coming to us. Yes, the motors are in the hands of our technicians and we’re happy to share the initial test video.
For the purpose of quantitative tests and also to perform motors accelerated ageing tests we have build a special stand:
Now we are able to measure resistance on the motor of different smoothies and later to recreate exactly the same load without actually making a new smoothie. Good for bananas :)
Most importantly, we can programme the stand “to make” hundreds of smoothies on it and see how the motor and electronics perform over time. Please, have a look at a short video demonstration.
We have finished a new pre-production assembly design, the good news is that we have been able to squeeze some more space inside and Millo base is now thinner!
Right now we are waiting for all the different components of the final pre-production version of Millo to arrive from all the suppliers.
Over the last half year I have learned that building a product is rather a slow process, not something I use to. My colleges at the engineering team are reassuring me to focus on quality throughout each step of the development so we do not have to go back.
This is it for now :) By the way, we are about to launch a new Millo reservation page and stop the pre-sales of Millo and all the add-ons, so if you need any, hurry up to order them.
All the best, Adam
Hey there,
Thank you for participating so actively in the smoothie survey. It gave us really great insights and fresh ideas.
I am happy to share the results.
The main drawbacks you have identified in already existing pages that contains smoothie recipes are:
#1 Repetitive content; #2 Too many irrelevant post; #3 Almost impossible to find page completely dedicated to smoothies;
Additionally, almost half of you expressed to be choosing a few first Google suggestions to find the recipe.
Not a surprise that a majority tend to use search engines to find the recipes and yet have not figure out any specific site that fits the demands. It gives an impression that the search results more frequently are not satisfying (Repetitive or Irrelevant Content). Our small Millo team, including myself, has been and still is experiencing similar issues when searching for ideas on innovative smoothies or what can be done with the fruit and veggie leftovers.
All of the results leads us a perception that there are no systemised smoothie recipe page. Meanwhile, the idea of a systemised smoothie database has been under our discussion for a while. Seemingly, the need is real.
Therefore, instead of having just Millo in-app smoothie database we have decided to make an open web-site under the domain weblend.com available for every smoothie lover. The page will be completely devoted to smoothies and everyone will be welcome to share their knowledge.
In order to reach the biggest variety of recipes, we will make this page available for everybody and implement truly fast access to it via the Millo application.
To ensure the highest possible quality of the content we will personally invite authors whose personal pages have proven to include innovative and attractive smoothie recipes. We are also looking for people who create recipes that fits your needs the best: makes immune boosting, low sugar and high protein smoothies.
I hope you will like it!
P.S. Pre-production samples of Millo's brushless motors are on the way and will reach us in a short time. We will do the accelerated ageing tests of those units, so a technical update will follow after. Below, a sneak peak to Millo's custom made brushless motor.
Enjoy your day,
Adam
Hi!
How it is going everyone? :)
We have received almost all the responses from the BackerKit survey, thank you for taking your time. Thanks to you there were almost 20K of additional pre-orders!
At the moment we are busy optimizing Millo for production and testing every single part of it. We have also started the development process of the Millo mobile application. Concerning that, I would like to hear your opinion anew.
One of the important functionalities of the App will be an access to the various smoothie recipes. As we are constructing the database right now, we figured that it may be wise to acquire some additional insights that might help for the overall scale of the functionality.
Hence, for the content to be the most practical, we need to find out what truly interest you. Therefore, we need your help. This is a link to a 7-question survey, which will take you only a minute or two: https://milloresearch.typeform.com/to/W86f0C
If you have any additional ideas or suggestions, feel more than welcome to express them in the comments section below or drop me a message!
I am looking forward to hearing your view.
Have a lovely day! Adam
