Hat's off, sir.
Wouldn't have known exactly what I was looking at at first.

great and informative post.

what a waste of money on a name brand.

man they had these in Japan like ten years ago. that and infrared sensors for taps. Dyson'll be reinventing the hairdryer soon and claiming it's his. His products are crap, they all suck or are a load of hot-air.

When the air blasts them, they make your hands look like Roger Moore's face when he's in the g-force simulator in Moonraker.

this shit is RETARDED. Any dumb-ass should know that paper towels actually help to maintain sanitation. without paper towels, much of the residue from often synthetic detergents stays on the body. I hate these particular gadgets because they typically replace paper towels and I just don't feel like they are a reasonable replacement. Some of us still use paper towels.

And don't give me any bull about it being 'GREEN' it uses fucking electricity which, in the US, most likely involves the burning of petrochemicals. Paper towels are paper, and can be re-cycled indefinitely. DUH!

why would you bump the thread? i mean, in between being an individual, fucking the police, and shagging girls like a playboy, did you decide to come to qbn on the off chance the filter would turn up a thread about hand dryers that you could then have a thrombo about?

The one I saw in a restroom had a placard and a stack of paper towels beside it. The placard read:
"Feel free to dry your hands with our Dyson Airblade. When finished, please take a paper towel to open the door to maintain a sanitary environment for everyone."
Priceless. I'm not shitting you. Dyson laughing all the way.

bravo, styleplus, your inexplicable passion on this matter has roused me from my stupor

Bravo to Dyson.
You have people talking about drying their hands. And paying good money to do it. One may say that you have successfully reinvented the wheel.

We use a towel in work. Revolutionary I know but we try to minimise our impact on the environment by not washing it. So far it's been fine but it has had a funny smell the last year and a half.

don't you rub against the sides of the thing? seems unsanitary

the local dive bar in my neighborhood has one of those, but it looks a bit different, you don't insert your hand on a hole, you just place them under it.
