Dyson Airblade Tap, the faucet that dries

cnet.co/YRhyjH
Luke Westaway goes hands-on (or should that be 'under') with Dyson's pricey new bathroom tech.

[@Rhys96]

Used one of these for the first time. It blew all of the water from the basin all over my crotch. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[@ScottMana]

"It frees you of the nightmare of trapsing across the bathroom to use the hand drier..." Oh yes, I have nightmares about that! Those 4 steps are all pure agony!

[@FahadAyaz]

Well when you're awkwardly waiting for the previous person to finish and there's a person waiting behind you.. 🙄

[@greasermex]

Who’s here in 2019 from Luke’s story?

[@ethanlappin]

Me! Found it hilarious and had to come to the source

[@nunyanunya4964]

One of the movie theaters in downtown Chicago (600 N. Michigan) has these installed, and they are fantastic.

[@pp2devane]

Because it's for airports, train stations etc where you don't expect to change the temperature. It's NOT designed for the home.

[@tree20707]

They’re a nightmare. If you move you’re hands one millimeter in range of the blowers you’ll have water flying in your FACE. The blowers also recreate a Beyoncé concert each time you use it, blowing your hair and clothes just like her!

[@LoganT547]

Yep they blow the soap off of my hands lol

[@bonsteration]

Yup used one in a restaurant blew nasty sink water all over my face and the BEST PART was somebody had just rinsed their mouth in the sink because there were food particles everywhere 🤢

[@guidoguido2245]

AAAAAH! It’s pre-fame Luke! So amazing!

[@Selleswiet]

It would be cool if the slots could move so you don't have to move your hands. Also, if you use like a green a laser that shows where the air is blowing you will have a nice sci fi effect.

[@franksinatra2295]

Umm they forgot the most important thing. Temperature control, have fun freezing your hands off in winter, but hey atleast you wont have to take 5 steps to use the dryer.

[@maxx620s]

"It frees you from the nightmare of trudging across the bathroom to use the hand dryer." ......Really? A nightmare?

[@blackberry111ish]

You know you could just attach the handdryer right above the tap. That would have saved the so called 'engineers' a lot of time and millions of dollars.

[@freddebm509]

This is so AWESOME!

[@s.flanders]

And when you have to get out of the bathroom, you have to touch a handle that's been touched by people who don't wash their hands.

[@alexzaharcu]

I already ordered mine.

[@DanielKnocker]

Did he just say 90,000 rpm every Second, he does know that rpm stands for Revolutions Per Minute

[@LoganT547]

I had a problem with one of these. Once I was at the airport and it blew the soap off of my hand! 😂

[@igeekone]

It doesn't have temperature control, so it's made for business restrooms. I'd imagine these in high end hotel lobbies and restaurants. The priced for businesses.

[@RoboRobbeh]

that turbine must have some pretty incredible frictionless bearings

[@Tig-Wan]

They have a dyson air blade dryer in my movie theater for hers it's mounted on the wall where pepper tolwles would be and you stick your hand in and slowly pull them out and in 12 seconds your hands are dry. They are just adapting that tech to a faucet. Soooo it not new

[@pauljs75]

Mmmmm... The oh so pleasant feel of blowback. Anyone who has used a hand dryer over that has been stupidly located over a sink table or counter knows what I'm talking about. Anything that's wet there gets blown right on you, and what do you think a sink basin is going to do with the hand dryer right over it?

[@nam3go3sh3r3]

yeah have you ever used one of thse hand dryers? they are only fitted to sinks designed not to blowback

[@coreysalsomevideos18]

It has no way to change the water like always but Dyson will probably make the second version which will have the were u can change the what from hot to cold. Or they still can probably change the first model if it has not come out yet

[@FrankyBabes]

An expensive solution in search of a problem. Also I love Gravity RIP

[@antonmaxx]

If you get a cut on your hand. An air bubble is blown in blood stream, it can be fatal.

[@Omfgwhtavid]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[@allycatg9000]

Dangleplums don’t because once I went to marshals and I used their washrooms, and so I am washing my hands and I am like oh, it’s a dryer too! I put my hands over there and the soapy water is all flying up not only that the mirror is tilted Down so all that soapy water is all over that mirror. Once I did that I didn’t care if my hands were dry I just ran out of the washroom, out of the store, and ate New York fries.

[@Gr33nMamba]

It'll end up in public venues, I've never seen a dyson hand drier anywhere else.

[@TheTerr0rbyte]

It solves the problem that when people finish washing their hands, there won't be water dribbling all over the floor in public restrooms while they move themselves to the dryer.

[@Ardeact]

Lol what are we doing as human beings

[@wparo]

people willing to spend £1000 on a tap when in many parts of the world people have no access to even a bucket of clean water.

[@nurrio]

hahaha excellent point.

[@sammers213]

Rich people will love this

[@antonmaxx]

Ahh.. a smart one. I am glad you finish grade 4. 2 times?

[@bonsteration]

I used one in a restaurant blew nasty sink water all over my face and the BEST PART was somebody had just rinsed their mouth in the sink because there were food particles everywhere 🤢

[@JEGV.]

@Daniel Knocker he said it revs up that fast In under a second.

[@Pinkycrust]

Ill stick to patting my hands on my shirt and pants.

[@oooppiikkk]

12 seconds... 12 more seconds in a room that's filled with urine and crap.

[@tathagatamusic]

Hi-Tech!!...yeah it is but its no new thing...I've been using this at a mall in my city since two years!

[@gugunanak134]

i can't believe i watched a tap review !!

[@igeekone]

I can't see why they couldn't make a home version with a temperature and flow handles.

[@doubletapproductions]

Would get this, but i need tempature control!

[@TheNamesBrianCA]

I don't have patience to wait 12 seconds, it only takes 3 seconds with a towel.

[@guitarplayerforu]

Daniel knocker it spins faster than a formula 1 engine

[@jwgmail]

90,000 RPM? why the ** would it need to spin that fast?

[@davidp8627]

This would be a nightmare in hospitals or restaurants. The water hits the dirty sink and splatters back onto your hands. Real brilliant way for Dyson to waste 30 million pounds or people to waste 1,000 pounds on the worst design disaster since the Ford Pinto.

[@asleep-cult6877]

Dyson is so cool and there products are really worth it

[@SkankinHard]

how is it not sanitary ?

[@crave24567]

exactly

[@abdallahfarooq6391]

Ok... But it's still a good invention

[@pistolpackingsanta6420]

At $1895.00 I can't see them selling many of them. At least not residentialy.

[@MrXdonovanx1]

High Tech makeover for toilets Please

[@Master1906]

Hmm I wonder what would happen if I stuck sellotape over the gaps.

[@pp2devane]

This is designed for airports etc NOT for home.

[@1983Jacko]

Oh yea the nightmare of walking from the faucet to the hand dryer. How about the nightmare of one of these things splashing water all over your clothes and face and the mirror? Or how about the nightmare of having to wait for the sink to drain first before you can actually dry your hands? Even then you get some water drops on yourself. This thing is ridiculous, I can't believe this is being marketed as something that's supposed to make our lives easier.

[@triple7marc]

It's very useful and saves resources lmao

[@Tyleron1]

9000 rpm, in under a second. yes, clearly you know what you're talking about

[@andypejman]

no temperature control? -.-

[@aztecabo1]

I want them to redesign the toilet

[@1983Jacko]

With dyson design you're probably going to get some of that shit pushed back in.

[@Tig-Wan]

For years NOT hers. Lol auto correct. And yes I spelt towels wrong.

[@ultravidz]

Thanks but I'll stick to my towel

[@Crantzenberg]

I wash expecting more...

[@lucristianx]

I wish I could put it in my home but yeah no heat nor cold control I'll pass.

[@Marklol95]

I can only hope you're not being serious.

[@rem007]

dont forget to bring a towel ..... mmmmm weeeeeed

[@DominicLondon]

What did I just watch?

[@CmThayer33]

If its only gonna be for commercial use w

[@ratonjj]

This is not designed for ANYWHERE....50% of the times you set off the wrong function :P

[@rodolfocortez5406]

$1500. Ain't nobody got

[@Scrapps44]

look everyone, its another thing we should waist money one because we are too lazy to grab the towel thats 3 feet away!

[@TheDonkee1976]

These things suck. Tried it at a local mall washroom, tried a few actually, couldn't get the dryer to stay on for more than 1sec at a time each on 3 machines, was messing with them for awhile, gave up, no paper towel in the washroom, so resorted to drying my hands on my jeans... NICE.

[@qasimmir7117]

Don't know how the hell you dry your hands because it work perfectly for me every time.

[@TheDonkee1976]

Qasim Mir​ apparently the sensors can get dirty and not work properly... maybe that's what happened where I tried these dryers, but it's not my job to start tinkering with the dryer to get it working as it should... maybe next time I encounter such a device I will make a video and post it on KZbin...

[@qasimmir7117]

+bart sim Maybe I'll post a video too.

[@231rayrayray]

I'm 5 months pregnant and ran to the sink to throw up. the dryer sensor went off and blew all off the gross vomit on the wall and the mirror and me! it's such a stupid invention.

[@rodolfocortez5406]

$1500. ain't nobody for

[@abdallahfarooq6391]

Why can't u change the Temperature.... It's s**t

[@AnyTechReviews]

Sarcasm...

[@bennys1o]

Toaster

[@Ylop46]

you have to rub your hands, don't you? That's a lot of effort for a millionaire.

[@whydontyouwork]

well, all that hype and....its a tap? woooooo...

[@peasoupman]

30 million dollars spent to make lazy people lazier so they don't have to walk all the way to dry their poor wet hands... Yeah, that's great.

[@TheHaunteddude]

Nothing but callbacks these faucets are garbage. Dyson customer service is nonexistent. run away from these

[@Marklol95]

It makes me angry when companies spend 30 million dollars developing something that solves a problem that nobody has. This is sad and wrong.
