Airblade Wash+Dry Hand Dryer Short 120V, Stainless Steel – HEPA Filter, Energy Efficient, Fast Drying

My Dyson airblade faucet dryer broke. I took it to a Dyson repair center. They said they couldn’t fix it because it was a commercial product. When I went online for service it was a complete runaround. I will never buy any Dyson products ever.

it is a little loud but works great

I have tried to use this tap every now and then each mornig for nearly 2 years at my local Gold's Gym. Unfortunately, due to the combination of high cost and the sunk cost falicy, the gym management still refuses to replace the failed experiment. 1) the sensors work great - for 80% of the users. Which means that 20% of the users have to wave and flail their hands every which way to get water to intermittently spurt out. Some gym members don't even fight with the things any more, they just use the showers to wash their hands. It is especially frustrating to wiggle your fingers all over the place, give up, and then have the water start shooting out only after you start walking away. 2) The dryer arms are far worse. They are placed so that you cannot drop, pour, or (in the tragic case of toothpaste) spit anything into the sink without finding the substance intended for the drain to be instantly distributed across your shirt. DO NOT try to shave at one of these things! 3) Even if the dryer arm placement was not a disaster, the dryer sensors are even more frustrating than the faucet sensor. While the air jets DO come on to shoot spit, shaving cream, or hair mousse at you, they simply will not come on for wet hands. Fortunately most people have their towel handy at the gym... I would be dismayed to see one of these installed In a regular public washroom without hand towels nearby. 4) they are apparently not adjustable. The gym has been unable to find any improvements through servicing the contraption over a span of 2 years! The taps still don't work. 5) the whole concept doesn't make sense anyway... if they DID work, we would have people waiting for the sink while someone is using it to dry their hands. This is a waste of resources. For less money you can have a faucet AND a dryer that 2 people can use concurrently. These things are a testimony to marketing and sales NOT to utility. Dyson has made some great products over the years but I must assume that the only reason they are still selling this embarrassing flop is because of an erroneously large initial production run that they need to sell off. They should fund this lesson with their other products and melt down the unsold ones.

My office has these installed in our break room and they are the absolute WORST things ever! You have to crouch down to slide your hands under in the tiny spot where the sensor will turn the water on, and if you get it at all wrong be prepared for a blast of air to throw water and soap everywhere. Do not—DO NOT—consider buying these useless, awful things. One star is five stars too many for how wretched these are. I’d rather die of the flu than wash my hands in a bathroom with these faucets.

These things are disgusting and terrible. I used one in the sea tac airport and just think about it for a second...you have dirty hands, you wash them with soap and water, into the sink that hundreds of other people have used, and then you hold your hands out to dry and the air pushes all of those germs and all that soap and water right up the sides of the sink and into your face and onto your clothes. Totally gross. If I needed a shower, I'd seek one out. It is mind boggling to think of how many levels of approval this thing had to go through before getting manufactured and sold, and this wasn't ever an issue? You either need an incredibly specific sink size and shape, or you'll be eating your own and other people's soapy germs every time you wash your hands.

I work in a new high tech building with two of these in the men's room. It works ok as a an automatic faucet, but is a total disasters as a hand dryer. First it sprays high speed air at your hands but also sprays every bit of germ filled crap left in the sink right into your face. It is a hygienic mess. Colorectal bacteria from every man that washes his hands in the sink ( about 40% of men are filthy germ spreaders that avoid soap or just leave without a drop of water.) is sprayed up from the super fast air and blows up in your face. It's like putting your face near the toilet and flushing it. Avoid this at all costs.
