"Great Invention"? Yeah, because those motion-activated faucets that have taken over every bathroom in the world work SO well... </sarcasm>




First, shoot me for answering somebody who does sarcastic commments - but also who obviously does not do any cooking! These would not be for bathrooms, but for kitchens. I handle a lot of raw meat while making dinner, and you really don't want to touch anything until you have washed your hands. I can use my forearm to start the water flow, but it would be nice and easy to just wave my hand. And it is just not raw meats. My hands can be covered with oil, or something else sticky. You don't want to be touching anything before you get your hands clean (please also make touchless soap dispensers!)

Also, I am sure these cost and arm and a leg. So it is not very likely that I am going to get one in my KITCHEN any time soon. If you are so filthy that you'd want them in your bathroom also, you better get rich!

OK think this out. It looks great and works well while your hands are dry but if your hands are wet and dripping and you need to adjust the flow, you would have water everywhere! (watch how much you need to fling your hands around.) Anyone who doesn't see this is not the one who has to wipe the counters down regularly. Imagine kids trying to use this...

I call this one still in the Fail Stages!
