Guys: The question with any product that is made for USA consumer consumption is: Will it sell in Peoria? This one won't sell in fantasy land in Peoria. Not for $300. It's like the Air Blade. At $1400, its 2X and more than the price of the best hand drier on the market today. After failing miserably with the commercial market, dyson tried the home consumprtion market. No luck there either. In fact worse results than the commercial market. This Air Multiplier is no different than the Air Blade. No different than the contra rotating washer. The ball barrow. And the ball dysons. You can't invent for the sake of invention and then force consumers to like it and buy it. Doesn't work that way in Peoria. Carmine D.
--- Hi Carmine, your experience differs to my own on the AirBlades - I've been surprised at the variety of places that have them installed; they're more popular than I thought they'd be. At the margins involved and the publicity it gives the Dyson brand, it's proved a success in many ways.

Vacomatic, Awhile back I looked up about this bladeless fan and found as you the same thing. What I also found out is there is a difference in the American language and British. We say one thing and to the British it means another tho we speak and write English. What I saw in the fan diagram was a blade system tho in UK it is called bladeless.The system sound great tho. Will wait to see what it looks like in real life. Procare

I recently read the same from a UK online magazine. That is, they did not seem to think the Airblade would sell, and now they're all around (the UK). DIB

DIB Guys: How do you know these were bought and sold? Or gifted in the hopes to spark sales? These Air Blades don't stay in new condition in the boxes forever. They have a limited shelf. Parts deteriorate if stagnated after 3-4 years. They would have to be re-opened and re-inspected to ensure product worthiness. These driers don't stay new in the boxes forever. Carmine D.

--- Hi Carmine, while there's really no concrete way of me knowing the answer... one shopping mall near to where I worked had one installed soon after launch, which I presume was a sample. 18 months later, they appeared to have brought approx. 20 units for the other washrooms around the place. They're quite a good product for pre-sales samples, as they likely aren't an expensive product in terms of cost price as it's all the unique design patents and the added value the a buyer might pay for. Do you think they really would have such a short box life? Given that they're supposed to built to a high grade of durability? 'Can't personally see it myself...
