Wildly popular with simple styling, but most importantly it just works damn well at a solid price (bit more than a bargain brand, but no one mistakes it for a luxury item).

Despite the fact that it performs its job perfectly, it's of course positioned to be ridiculed by the Back Room for being so popular and the purchase thereof implies a lack of style /individuality /etc.
