Why do some electrical devices still use traditional mechanical rotary switches?

Blender, juicers, and other small appliances have become essential in many household kitchens. There are various specifications of small appliances on the market, some using intelligent touch switches, and some using traditional mechanical switches. In the era of intelligence, why are there still appliances that use traditional mechanical rotary switches or button switches?

The main reason for using traditional mechanical rotary switches or button switches is that they are easy to operate and suitable for a wide range of user groups. Because this switch design is simple, the operation is intuitive, and users can easily get started, providing clear operation feedback, making the use of electrical appliances more popular and convenient

In addition, there are other advantages to mechanical switches. Compared to smart switches, mechanical switches are more durable, less prone to damage, and suitable for environments with frequent use. The production cost of mechanical switches is relatively low, which helps to reduce the overall cost of electrical appliances. Compared to smart switches, mechanical switches are also less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and suitable for various working environments.

Despite the increasing availability of intelligent products in the market, traditional mechanical rotary switches still hold a place in many electrical appliances and remain the preferred design for many small appliances.
