Ah, but the question was (I think) whether they have great
interactions even if they don't have great visual design.
I have a feeling that this is a self-selecting process, though. I
think most companies who care about having great interaction design
would also have at least pretty good and probably great visual design.
The reverse isn't true though - there are plenty of things that look
great but the interaction is rubbish – almost all consumer electronics
by Sony, for example.

Here are things in my apartment that I interact with that do not
really have (great) visual designs:
Microwave
Digital display on my stove
DVR/cable menu
DVD/VHS player
TV menu
iPod - maybe the one exception...but really it's mostly text
mp3 player
alarm clock
Here's stuff at work:
Printer/Copy machine
IP phone
Vending machine
Car radio (on the way to work)
Badge security scanner (actually only consists of a dual LED, dual
sound response, and a scanner, but everyone who's never used it
before always sets it off b/c you have to wait 2 seconds before going
through the gate.)
