My analysis of the product was not that it required any dexterity other
than to raise both hands simultaleously and hold them over the vertical
jet,
However it appeared that the projection of the unit would not allow deep
enough knee space to achieve proximity.

Subject: Dyson Hand Dryers
I have a specific question regarding the new 'award winning' Dyson
airbalde hand dryers. A client has installed these in all WCs at a new
HQ including at lower level in the accessible cubicles. The question
has been raised as to whether these are 'accessible' as they require the
user to have more dexterity than a standard dryer...any
experience/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clare
