There are annoyances in everyday life: realising there is no milk when your tea is half-way to brewed, power cuts mid-way through a film, a wobbly table which throws you coffee in the air and spills it all over you just before an interview, people eating Burger King on the train, children playing outside your house, or (and this probably the cardinal sin of them all), only having Rose wine available.
Alarmingly, there is something worse that Rose. In fact, one of Britain’s greatest inventors’s addressed it a few years ago - he was so angry about it. Yet, as citizens afforded protection by Her Majesty, one simple convenience is ill afforded to us.
In fact, many people do not realise the dangers these beastly contraptions pose; a gruesome, dastardly end (potentially) awaits; electrocution, violent sickness or indeed crippling back pains like one who has just been put on a medieval rack.
Yes, I am talking about hand-dryers. No, actually, not all hand dryers: useless hand-dryers which only serve a purpose of negating the owner of providing a useful hand-drying implement; such as a Dyson Airblade or paper towels.
It is only through sheer anger, annoyance and proprietors attitudes (which they back-up using health and safety regulations) that I write this blog. In doing so, I hope that all of us lead richer and more fulfilling lives.
If there is one thing in the world that I would improve, it would be making hand-dryers that work. In an effort to seek this change, I am going to review hand-dryers of the United Kingdom. In doing this, I will look for a number of criteria:
Power – a good hand-dryer should have sufficient power to dry the hand in under 15 seconds. Not bone dry, but for most excess water to have left
Warmth – is there anything worse than a hand-dryer that doesn’t warm up quickly on a cold day. I do appreciate that a hand-dryer can take a couple of seconds to warm-up, however, a good powerful blast normally shakes off the cobwebs anyway
Automatic starting – simply for convenience and hygiene, it is preferable to have an automatic startFace-function – has anyone ever used the face-function? I don’t actually think they have and, often, I think is a way for manufacturers to save themselves time and money by only affixing two screws at the top.
Height – Everyone has a right to use a hand-dryer at a safe height. So I always believe that there should be two hand-dryers available, one which is lower and one which is higher. It simply isn’t fair for everyone to use a low hand-dryer and this is predominantly because of back injury.
Style – everyone loves an exciting style of hand-dryer; whether vintage or futuristic. Who doesn’t remember seeing their first Dyson Airblade (mine was at Liverpool St Station) and being amazed at the new style
Ease of cleaning – Good hygiene is the key reason for hand washing and so every good hand dryer should be easy to clean with a germicidal cleanser.
Variety – Sometimes I like a paper towel, sometimes I like a dryer. The best public conveniences have this option.
