Airblade Tap
This aerodynamic hybrid from Dyson combines a commercial lavatory faucet with a high-velocity hand dryer—drying hands in 14 seconds at the sink and eliminating the typical trail of water on the floor between basin and wall-mounted dryer or paper towels. Made of a corrosion-resistant stainless steel used for boats, the Airblade Tap is said to cost $48 a year to run.
The Dyson Airblade Tap is an all-in-one product that alleviates common maintenance issues in public restrooms by combining both handwashing and -drying functions in one fixture. Very smart.
