When it comes to hand-washing technology, things are only getting better. Right now, if I go to a place that has a hands-free faucet, hands-free soap dispenser, and hands-free dryer, I’m a very happy person. What’s the point of even bothering with a wash if I’m going to have to touch a gross faucet or handle or button or whatever and ruin it with germs? And I’m not even a germaphobe! Fortunately, Dyson has seen the future in the form of the Airblade Tap.
The Airblade Tap is a combination of the Dyson Airblade dryer–which I love–and a hands-free tap. That’s right, you get two for the price of one, and two in the same unit. You wash your hands, then without dripping water everywhere, you dry your hands by using the Airblades on the sides of the faucet. Pretty cool, no?
Not only is the Airblade Tap cleverly designed, it’s also pretty inexpensive. Operating costs are estimated to be about $48 a year, which means it’s going to pay for itself in savings over paper towels or stand-alone dryers in a pretty short time. Look for these bad boys in your local airport or hotel later this year.
