Dyson is a con with a big marketing budget. I had their "revolutionary" cyclone nonsense for three years thinking I have a great vacuum, until my cleaner complained that literally everyone else had a decent vacuum cleaner and mine was useless. I bought a different one - it uses about a third of the energy, and usability and capability-wise it's on a different planet. And it's cheaper!

Not to mention the incredibly useless hand dryers in half of UK pubs.

Dyson is the perfect example of how if you strike the right(???) note with your marketing you can sell any crap at a premium price.

I don't know which of their hand dryers you're using, but we have the Airblade V at work and they're great. But you do need to have lots of air pressure; I've encountered some which somehow don't blow very hard, and they're only a little better than a standard dryer. You want one that's installed so that you can feel it flensing you every time you use it.
