I disagree with everyone else here. This is even worse that sequential naming schemes.

Best is a name that actually contains information to distinguish different products. Look at fridge, washing machine, ... names from Samsung, Bosch, ... You think the exactly same unit with some minute (hard to even find!) difference has almost the same name? No, fuck right off, there is no correlation. Have fun searching any specific product.

4K Monitor should have 4K in it's name. 32" diagonal? 32 in the name. Not "KKEORGKE9183FK38F".

We literally bought a fridge three days ago and it drove me bloody mad.

The numbers mean absolutely nothing!!!
And why is the Siemens version cheaper than the Bosch version of the same fridge, and why aren't they named something even remotely similar????
Why is this identical fridge $400 more??? (Ended up contacting Bosch to figure it out. It was a damn soft close function. For $400...)

Ended up going to the store and picking one based on physical testing because God forbid any retailer add anything more than a short text on each product.

Hope this one lasts us 50 years so I never have to buy another fridge again!
