- mikeash 10y agoAfter experiencing the Airblade in too many public bathrooms, I wouldn't pay $4 for this thing, let alone $400.
- bdavisx 10y agoAgreed, they don't do that good of a job, and nowhere near as good of a job as the high-speed "normal" designed hand dryers.
- nrjames 10y agoNot to mention the fact that some research suggests they blast bacteria all around the bathroom/environment. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/13/dyson-airblades-spread-germs-1300-times-more-than-paper-towels/?cid=sf24291415&sf24291415=1 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/13/dyson-airblades-s...

- mikeash 10y agoBlasting bacteria around sounds dubious, but I can't use these stupid Airblades without touching the sides, so that's pretty yucky. The point that we're still touching other stuff without feeling squeamish is a good one. My main complaint about the Airblade is simply that they don't work very well at all.
- FatalLogic 10y agoIf you spend 15 minutes every other day drying your hair, and assuming this product saves you 5 minutes each time you do that due to its "supersonic" technology, and you earn $100 per hour, then I think it would pay for itself in six months (Assuming your hairdrying time doesn't have much value to you). (OTOH if you earn $20/hour and rarely wash your hair, this product isn't economic) review: http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2016/apr/27/dyson-supersonic-hairdryer-worth-299-test http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2016/apr/27/dys...
- mrob 10y agoGetting a better hairdrier is probably not the best way to speed up hair drying. If you haven't already, try drying your hair with a microfiber towel. It's much more effective than a conventional towel. It leaves your hair dry enough that only brief use of a hairdrier is needed to completely dry it. It's a lot cheaper than $400.
- FatalLogic 10y agoThat indeed sounds like a more efficient drying strategy. Although there are some hidden backend costs (laundry). But don't some people who use hairdryers need their hair to be somewhat wet though, so they can style it?
