I moved into my new apartment a little over a year ago. I bought lots of different stuff, like a new TV, entertainment center, vacuum cleaner, and so on.<p>Today I realized that I collected a whole box of manuals with them, most of them I've never read or touched. However, I tried to get them digitally — and it was not that easy. And by now I realized, that most — if not all — manuals out there are not good. The best thing you will probably get is a PDF file of the printed manual, but that's it.<p>So, do you know of any well-crafted manuals or handbooks? I'd love to see some of those! Well, if they exist.
-- Washing Machine example:<p>This is the user guide for the Dyson washing machine. The machine was released in the UK in 2000. It was expensive and a commerical failure.<p>The user guide from 2002 is fairly well-written for a washing machine.

There ought to be some good ones over at the Internet Archive. But I don’t know any specific ones.<p><a href="https://archive.org/details/manuals" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/manuals</a>
