I found the hand dryers aren't to bad...but you've got to slowly draw your hand through, which is annoying.

The newer design seems to be a lot more effective. Still, the regular ones are on par with most hand driers, which is to say, they're crap when you're in a hurry and kids never seem to be able to reach down into them, they really need to be installed at an angle.

Im wondering if they are any good? I have an old regular style Dyson upright and its a faff to take apart and use the hose attachments to do the stairs. I wondered if the handheld was any better?
Two questions.

1. What is a "Dyson"?
2. What is a Hoover?

"Someone's" head may already be "stuck" somewhere else.

Exactly. Dyson is one big marketing con. It also irritates me when people compare Dyson to Apple; Apple makes products that are best in class. The same can not remotely be said of the junk Dyson manufactures.

You seem to have a problem distinguishing your opinions from facts.

Obviously minimal necessity for a vacuum in a cave. Surprised there is even power!

The iPhone was a world changing device. So was the iPod. So was the Mac. Apple - at least for the last decade - make quality products that are class leading. The same can't be said of Dyson.

Apple is a niche product manufacturer. I would contend that the maker of "game changing" products was Microsoft, and Google-Android that has a greater market share of the smart phone market than Apple ever will. Of course Apple was so excelling in their "best of class" computers that they abandoned their own proprietary architecture and their computers now run on the same Intel chips that windows machines run on, and have for decades!

Apple certainly got alot of mileage out of their solid state off board memory drive, otherwise known as an iPod. ..... Now, what were you saying about the triumph of marketing over substance?

Actually the ipod was kind of mediocre compared to the other mp3 players of the time. What was actually world changing was the seamless integration with the back end database through itunes which allowed people to buy music and put it on their device without any real hassle.
