No Dyson product ever works as well as expected. Dyson's true genius is his underdog marketing style.
- i suspect that they come pre-filled with hair and dirt so when you use them for the first time you go "wow, this...7point34
- ... thing is already full. it must really work wonders. i should use it to masturbate with."7point34
- only you 7point... only you .Point5
- LIES! i've seen your shopvac. is the pink skirt really necessary?7point34

I've been quite impressed with the Japanese versions of this tech that I've happened upon*. Well, as impressed as one can be with a hand dryer.
*I did write 'come across' but I know how that would be construed by certain portions of the QBN community (myself, in particular)

I still don't get how it works
- It blows air across your hands. Quickly.
Nairn - it blows air, but faster..lowimpakt
- so the fact that it does it faster requires an entire redesign of the original hand dryer templateeighteen
- that's british design for you.lowimpakt
- in a word, yes.Nairn
- (it's, I imagine, easier to sustain a higher force of pressure in a restricted environment)Nairn
- quite, nairnkelpie

I don't like those things, can't dry your face or spilt beer from your jeans.
- or pee spatter, from when you've stood too close to the urinal.
*shudder*Nairn - you've been drinking form the toilet again haven't you?7point34
- (damn line breaks.)
*shudder*Nairn - With my condition its impossible to get anywhere near the urinal when I'm peeing.SkyPoo
- You suffer a very long, permanently erect william, willfully locked forever at 90°?Nairn
- or pee spatter, from when you've stood too close to the urinal.

wait.
they're hand dryers?
well shit! that explains the looks i've been getting. i've been using it instead of toilet paper. it's a little uncomfortable to get into at first but it can be done.
- And there's me thinking you sported a really cool leopard- pattern in brown on your back.Nairn
- i have a leopard pattern on my back?7point34
- and your t-shirt. top of your trousers. flecks in your hair too. Christ - it's so obvious now that it's not a tattoo..Nairn
- i guess that's why no one ever stands downwind of me7point34
- you guys are so disgustingbigtrick

I wonder how many people have been accidentally circumsised with these?
- GORADIO0
the point is that is takes less air because it all comes in a really thin stream... is it that hard to work out?

Geeze, just use a fookin' recycled paper towel.
- No plastic, electricity needed.monoboy
- No electricity? How on Earth do you think they recycle, then manufacture the towels?Nairn
- Less energy than it takes to manufacture a huge plastic device full of electronics I'd say.monoboy
- Over 10-15 years?
I'd not be so sure, I must admit.Nairn - What about the running costs of each unit?monoboy
- Less so, per use than an equivalent amount of paper towel, I'd imagine. Factor in daily refill maintenance, and..Nairn
- ..I guess cost effectiveness / lack of resource bleed would trump. I dunno - I'm just guessing here.Nairn
- annual runnig costs ----

i am greener than most. i refuse to use paper towels or electric dryers.
i suck the excess water off my hands.
bothers the shit out of people when they see me walking out of the bathroom, loudly slurping my fingers.

Because the "DYSON Airblow" sounded fucking stupid.

as much as I like good design it's unfortunate that Dyson's products have just never stacked up in terms of function
It's always a bonehead architect who has one of their vacuums at home.
- Those vacuums are amazing.. we have two. Better then any we've had before...nicnichols

I just love the bit on the commercial where he deliberately over pronounces 'trousers'.
"....so you end up drying your hends orn you-r trizers".
Trizers, he says, so that he sounds like a plummy middle-english twerp who did engineering at Cambridge and drives a morgan to country pubs and probably holds a pilot's license. Actually.
