Debunking Hand Dryer Myths and Misconceptions
The Xlerator hand dryer is one dryer that will surely challenge any lingering false impressions you may harbor about electric hand dryers. You may, for instance, be one of the many people who still believe that automatic hand dryers are suited for use only in the bathrooms of shopping malls, restaurants, and the like. This assumption couldn't be further from the truth. The Xlerator hand dryer and many of its competing products represent increasingly excellent alternatives to paper towels and hand towels for both industrial and home bathrooms.
Over the years, a number of pernicious myths about electric dryers have been developed, it seems by the arbitrary, dishonest rumor-mongering of paper towel dispenser manufacturers. These myths are now being shown, in study after study, for exactly what they are - pure conjecture.
The most popular among them is probably the claim that electric hand dryers are wasteful and environmentally unsound when compared to pre-existing and still market-dominant technology of paper towels. While this may have been true of early, primitive electric hand dryers, nothing could be farther from the truth when it comes to the newer, lab safe models (such as the Xlerator hand dryer) that have more recently appeared on the market, many of which are incredibly energy efficient. Indeed, a single use of an electric dryer, when compared in terms of watt-usage to the production and disposal of a single paper towel, represents only about a fifth of the energy expenditure - and that without the felling of a single tree.
Another myth that's prevented many people from installing automatic dryers in their homes is the myth of expense. Many home and business owners think that they're making the financially wise decision in continuing the use of toilet paper instead of purchasing relatively expensive electric hand dryer. Statistical analysis has proven that this is not necessarily the case. Recent studies have consistently shown that the use of dryers results in significant savings when compared to the overall cost of producing, using, refilling, and disposing paper towels. In short, the purchase of an electric dryer can be considered a modern investment that will pay real dividends in the years to come.
Another attractive advantage of the dryer when compared to paper towels is the added utility of the dryer as a fast hair drying solution. While of course rarely put to this purpose in public bathrooms, this is a fantastic advantage of having your own dryer at home. You may even forgo purchasing additional hair dryers for your guests and children and advise them to use the dryer instead. Not only are electric dryers more powerful, they also save people the need to plug and unplug appliances in the dampest room in the house, preventing possible accidents.
Yet another pervasive myth about dryers is the waste of time that people perceive it to be. However, the majority of mod dryers promote high velocity hand drying. The Xlerator, for instance, boasts an average drying time of 15 seconds.
In sum, electric dryers are neither costly, nor time-consuming, nor ecologically unsound. The Xlerator hand dryer is a prime example of an intelligent investment for every household owner looking to save time, space, and energy in the cleanest, greenest way possible.

Bidet - The Japanese Super-Toilet's Rise To Power
Most Western bathrooms, besides lacking a toilet bidet, also lack an electric socket near the toilet, something that people in Japan, where central heating is rare, were keen to install when the posterior wash with seat-warmer bidet washlet was introduced.
But after making some inroads in the US with more modern home designs, especially since the advent of low-flow toilets in the 1990s, finally, bidet washlets are starting to make an impression.
Make the trip to the bathroom a real bidet toilet experience is what many people are doing. Bidet Manufacturers are making some inroads in the US with more standard models of toilets and bidets, especially with the bidet toilet seat being introduced only in the last ten years, The combination toilet bidet continues to penetrate the American culture. Its US seat bidet and bidet faucet sales, have risen to over 7,000 units a month this year from 1500 in 2005. The trendy bidets toilets US market is the same as what was seen in Japan in 1990 not long after the first high tech bidets toilet was released. Since then markets have sprouted for not only the toilet bidet combo, but also the hand bidet and the shower bidet.
But marketing the bidet seat has not payed off yet. Building toilet seat bidet showrooms is expensive and some analysts estimate this year will be the year that bidet faucets, bidet seats, bidet hand shower and toilet bidets will make their mark.
Some analysts gloat that the cultural barrier seems to be more transparent in the US than the European market, where toilets bidets have few marketing distributors and sells a much fewer bidet toilet seats per annum.
Some analysts speculate that Europeans are not more interested in the toilet seat bidets, because they have are culturally attached to their old fashioned bidets and poor plumbing and sanitation for generations. But everyone agrees that the US is an aggressive health oriented culture that will consume the wc bidet products.
Any cultural barriers that seems now, just too hard to break, will break. That includes the European market where sales are lagging to under 15,000 bidet washlets annually, running just higher than American consumption. The Truth is just because Europeans are used to the bidet, does not mean that they'd be more interested. And no one is quite sure just why they aren't.
