Dyson Airblade - bad a$$

[QueBert]

No, I didn't buy one, but my gym recently installed them in the restrooms. Here's the link

http://www.dysonairblade.com/homepage.asp - Are they worth $1,000? no that's a lot of money for what it does. But it literally had my hands bone dry in about 10 seconds. I went back and re washed them again just so I could try it out a 2nd time. With the old push button air blower they had before and it would never really get my hands totally dry even if I used it for 40 seconds. If I was rich I would definitely have one of these in my houses bathroom.

i've seen them pop around in a number of commercial places where i live. (malls and such.)

they do the job and do the job well.

 

[Broheim]

most clubs around here have had them for years, I always spend way too much time playing with them when I'm drunk.

 

[yhelothar]

Eh, the one I used took a while to warm up...

 

[PottedMeat]

yeah they do work well. used one a few years ago at ikea.

it's probably worth it for a high traffic store rather than a few of those $500 regular hot air blowers.

They work too well! I've seen old people dry their balls with that thing at the gym!...D:

 

[alkemyst]

how fast can these dry your balls?

They're not meant to warm up. That's their big selling point.

 

[ElFenix]

things aren't deep enough

 

[wirednuts]

theyre selling like crazy for commercial purposes. all businesses are going to them because they dont use as much electricity as the old style blowers. and it must be a lot less, because the airblade i hear are like $2k a pop! but i suppose over time its easy to cover any amount of upfront cost.

They are pretty cool except that if you use one in a really busy bathroom, there is a little puddle of water at the bottom that collects and kinda can spray you a bit. yick...

They got these at work, and they work great compared to the old style blowers, but I'd still just rather use a paper towel.

I just flick off as much water as I can then rub my damp hands on my pants or inside my shirt. lols.

Figures. And you wonder why you can't get a girl.

 

[Wreckem]

Ikea has had them in their bathrooms forever.

really? sounds like a design flaw! and a health issue!

I prefer the Xlerator hand dryers. They are like the old style hand dryers but 500% better.

 

[djnsmith7]

I've seen a few of these...I think they have these at Universal Studios...

Convention center I went to had those. I hated them.

People suck at washing their hands properly or at all, then they go and stick their hands into those things - those narrow things that almost guarantee contact. May as well just not wash your hands.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

I also like the xleroator ones.

The airblade area is too small, as mentioned, and your hands get pushed towards the sides. The ones at ikea near me are disguting.. black/brown on places where you hands could tough. Blech.

Yeah those things are awesome. You can feel the room pressurize when they kick in

These are popular down here. I have never touched the sides on one.

Maybe if someone has parkingsons or drunk in a bar YMMV.
