Dyson recently launched the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. It blows a line of unheated air at 400 miles per hour to wipe water from hands, drying them much faster than conventional heated-air hand dyers and using up to 83 percent less energy. A HEPA filter removes 99.9 percent of bacteria and mold from the intake air, ensuring that hands are dried with clean air. The Airblade will be available in the United Kingdom and Ireland starting in late November 2006, with greater international availability planned for the future. |

Danze has introduced a high-end, commercial-grade pre-rinse faucet to its Parma line of fixtures. The Parma Single-Handle Pre-Rinse Faucet (Product #D457158) stands 23 inches tall, perfect for rinsing large pots and pans. The heavy-gauge stainless steel spring suspends an ergonomic spray head that can be toggled to provide an aerated stream or a powerful rinsing spray. A sturdy arm holds the spray in position, permitting operation like a normally configured kitchen faucet. The durable single-control ceramic disc valve, a feature on all Danze faucets, ensures drip-free performance and a long life. Available in chrome or stainless steel finishes. |
