They installed these at the Nebraska State Office Building. When they did this, they took out all the paper towel dispensers. The faucets are not automatic so you have to touch the handles to turn them off. You also have to pull the door open by the handle which must be full of bad stuff judging from the number of people that leave the stalls and head straight to the door. Many people are very upset because no matter how sanitary they are, you still have to touch unclean things afterwards. People in wheelchairs also have trouble using these. They have to wheel over with wet hands and they find it hard to maneuver their chairs to put their hands in. These things are way too loud. 2 running were measured at 101 db! These really bother people with Tinitis. Stay away from these. In think its only a matter of time before complaints force them out.

They installed these in the dorms at my school. No one uses them though because they are so loud and it annoys the people who live near the bathrooms. Saving power and waste is great and all but they need to make them quieter.

The company I work for installed those recently to try and cut down on paper towels usage.
I may have been the one trying it early on as it left a slight motor oil smell on my hands first (so much for the “filtration” part, ahem) — no more an issue on subsequent uses.
Me like: effective, faster than classic cook-your-hands dryers.
Dislike: VERY LOUD! Too noisy, glad my cubicle isn’t anywhere near.

@GD
Me too, I have seen these in Japan for years. Personally I prefer the Mitsubishi. Dyson is over rated big time.

We have a Dyson Airblade hand dryer at work and it's awesome. You don't have to touch anything, your hands are dry in like 10 seconds and the air is HEPA filtered so you are not getting filthy air blown all over your hands. This is perfect for germophobes who don't want hot germy air blown all over them and certainly don't want to spend a bunch of time trying to dry their hands, only to give up and wipe them on their pants anyway. Now if only we could solve the "ugh, I still have to touch the doorhandle" problem.
