Those Dyson hand dryers are terrible. They're so noisy they really hurt my ears. I don't know why people buy his stuff.

Marketing. Expensive over-engineered solutions to non-existent problems promoted as luxury.

Some of those hand driers turned out to be a health hazard, and a Henry is far better hoover.

Perhaps we should suggest Henry hand driers?

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

People would put their penis in them.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 11 months ago

Is this an argument for or against it?

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Neither. I'm just saying it's inevitable. I totally wouldn't do it but I'm sure someone would so if they did make them Henry Hoover should have a sensual and inviting facial expression so ~~I~~ someone else that isn't me doesn't feel like they've raped the hand dryer.

They'd presumably be mounted high enough on the wall that you'd need a stepladder to reach it with your todger and that might be a bit obvious. However, the establishment might want to institute an "all basketball players must be accompanied to the gents" policy.

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That will only make them want it more.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

And by "them" you mean...? 🤔

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

No, no, definitely not. 🤔

You say that as if it’s a bad thing.

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's more like a PSA.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 10 points 11 months ago

Worst. Urinals. Ever.

Dyson built their reputation with the bagless vacuum cleaners. Which were amazing back in the day (because they were the only bagless ones).

And that wave of success carries them to this day.

I bought a bagless Dirt Devil a few weeks ago as a replacement and it works better than the Dyson we used to have.
