Our local fast food restaurant has one of those. Coincidentally it's also a Dyson brand. They don't work very well. Water and crap gets everywhere!

- cannam 7y agoThe Dyson combined tap-dryers are awful, awful products - we have some in newly fitted bathrooms at my workplace. I don't know how they made it out into the world without shame. They're hard to trigger reliably, they blow water everywhere, they're generally cumbersome and unpleasant to use.
- papln 7y agoThat's amazing. In a 2 minute promo video with many clips of people washing hands, and many clips of people drying hands, they never show someone washing AND drying hands in the same clip. They know the poducts doesn't work at its primary value-proposition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkpP-mEUcAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkpP-mEUcAs
- simonh 7y agoI swear by their vacuum cleaners, but none of the Dyson hand dryers are good. The boxy air blade ones are the worst I've used so far, but I haven't seen the tap ones yet.
- ryanlol 7y agoEven the vacuum cleaners are meh at best. Beautiful from the outside, excellent finish but disappointing performance and features for the price.
- thom 7y agoWe have one and it is like trying to drag a tank around the house into small spaces. Like all Dyson products, it's cleverly engineered and presumably hasn't once been tested with an actual customer.
- bonestamp2 7y agoTheir stick vacuums are light, although the battery life is short. They are quite effective but only if you use the right head for the job. There is one head for carpet that is amazing for carpet, but it's terrible for hard floors. There is a head that is great for hard floor, but obviously terrible for carpet.
- mark-r 7y agoI love the stick vacuum for cleaning stairs, it's far more convenient than dragging a full size one up/down the stairs. Agreed that the battery life is too short.
- londons_explore 7y agoNot really beautiful - they're 100 percent plastic and look like a child's toy. At least put some anodised aluminium somewhere on it to make it look 21st century!
- ryanlol 7y agoI’ve seen them use fancy metallized plastics in place of anodised aluminium. But yeah, I guess most Dyson items do look pretty awful.
- mark-r 7y agoMy secret trick for the air blade dryers is to move both hands in opposite directions so it never turns off.
- wrycoder 7y agoI’ve seen articles about Dysons filling the air with dispersed virus.
- rejschaap 7y agoYou are supposed to use water and soap to wash off the crap first.
- jasonmp85 7y agoI haven't seen one of those Dyson pieces of shit without at least some gunk or water sitting near the bottom, not draining or sliding into the airflow. Even if you get everything off your hands, having a stupid plastic device with a deep crevice in an environment with fecal coliform presumably floating around is a _great_ design let me tell you.
- gruez 7y ago>Water and crap gets everywhere! I've only seen those taps with trough sinks[1], which limits the mess. [1] https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZfqFvsuE3s/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZfqFvsuE3s/maxresdefault.jpg
- bonestamp2 7y agoI was in Japan recently and they didn't have the Dyson one but they had very similar models from Panasonic and Mitsubishi and they were much quieter and somehow worked better. We need those.
- m4rtink 7y agoCan confirm this - the hand driers I've seen in japan were generally pretty small, yet very effective and quiet.
