(Lovair) Mediclinics Optima at Starbucks - Castle Quarter, Norwich - ♿️🚼

Here we have the Mediclinics Optima at Castle Quarter. This was seemingly completely dead when I filmed this last time, however it worked fine in this video. I'm not sure if was isolated at the breaker, or if it just decided to not detect my hand.
I find it rather strange that Lovair distributed these, as Lovair has mainly specialised in high-speed dryers. It does make me wonder though, how much more common would the Machflow be if Lovair had sold it as the Air Fury instead of the HK-JA, and would've we finally seen brushless Machflow PLUSes?
The Optima in the female toilet was replaced with an HK-JA04S not too long ago, which I plan on filming, since due to the sign position it's very easily to accidentally go in there thinking it's unisex. The XLERATOR is still doing well.

At least this hasn’t been replaced yet, I did have my suspicions but this totally proved me wrong. I reckon this might have been isolated at the switch (like you said in the description) because it’s unusual for Starbucks to fix dryers but instead replace them with airstreams.

[@ukhanddryers]

The switch was on last time, I'm reffering to the breaker on the main electrical panel. One of the Optimas here was replaced with an HK-JA04S, and not an Airstream

[@Handdryerswithsplashy]

@@ukhanddryers ah right, good to know that this franchise went for a HK-JA04 instead of an airstream though.

[@NCHLTII]

I'm guessing in the description you meant to put 2023, since it's only july

[@ukhanddryers]

Yeah I did, I'll sort it now

[@omarazamqureshi]

I’m sure the Xlerator must be still in the gents.

[@DryersaroundtheUK]

Well it’s mentioned in the description saying “the XLERATOR is still doing well”.

[@omarazamqureshi]

Thanks@@DryersaroundtheUK

[@DryersaroundtheUK]

Is it just me or are Starbucks slowly moving away from PHS, since I’ve seen a few dryers that you’ve filmed at Starbucks branches that have been replaced with other dryers and not Airstreams, we can’t jump to conclusions yet though.

[@NCHLTII]

Either PHS has not been rolled out to the whole of the UK yet or it's franchised stores

[@ukhanddryers]

I'm guessing that it's being done regionally, one region at a time. A new build in Norwich that opened a few months ago didn't recieve Airstreams.

[@NCHLTII]

I remember the days when you thought this had the exact same Motor as the SM48. I find that the SM48 actually dries your hands better than this.

[@ukhanddryers]

SM48 also has a better sensor than the Optima.
