When a public restroom offers an air-dryer as the only option to dry-off, I'd much rather wipe my hands on some dude's hairy back than wait around next to a hot fan while nothing happens. This concern will soon be lost to the wind, as we await the implementation of Dyson's lightning-fast and hygiene-minded Airblade system, which blasts a 400mph stream of clean, unheated air through a 0.3-millimeter gap and treats the leftover water with a iodine resin disinfectant filter.

Not bad! People have been complaining about air dryers for long enough that it's nice to see someone trying to do something about it finally. I'm a little concerned about the way the interior is shaped (I hope it's sloped downwards so that people can't just stick crap inside and have it stay there) and I'm curious about how difficult this is going to be to clean after some curious child sticks a sweet of some sort inside and makes a splattery mess.
These are nothing new in Japan, we've had them for years. Although Dyson has added a few new twists. In response to the previous post, the sides are open (as in the photo) so no chance of anything getting stuck inside.
That curve looks familiar... oh yeah! it looks like an ass crack!...
You think high school pransters will be pulling up on this and dropping duces in there?
I would! And I am crippled.
The form and functionality seems good.
Hope there is some mechanism to remove small items that might slip (from tissue paper to lip color).
