I like the handle that you use your foot to open the bathroom door. way better than getting your shirt dirty. Your shoes already have urine on them anyway.

Bout time. But why not just have a push open door?

If you're lazy or just don't know about it you will still open the door just like any other door. It doesn't solve anything. I've also opened doors like that before and if you pull it too far your arm gets "stuck" you're in pain and someone gets a big check for suing whoever was stupid enough to "invent" a door handle.

It's amazing how people think. My husband said it was great. Seeing how many men go into the bathroom shake their wee-wees and then leave without washing their hands. GROSS. The % of NASTY men/women out there like that is huge.. It's just like work break rooms, employess don't keep clean. Swine Flu/H1N1 is touching 1 out of 4 families in America right now. It is leading the 5/6 &10p news. A benefit in commercial buildings, schools & hosipital is a great vision to help combat germs!

That fucking shit costs $250.00?? Are you fucking joking? I would love to shit on the face of the person who put a price tag on that. I saw the words "sanitary handle" and I thought instantly wow, a door handle that cleans itself, until I saw this shit and was like what the fuck? You have got to be fucking kidding me.

I'm saying that $250 is far too much for what it is, considering most door hardware is ~$50 or less, and there are more parts to a regular doorknob than this thing. I don't know how they can justify charging $250 for a bent piece of steel that mounts to do the door. Anyhow, I'm not particularly worried because I rarely use public washrooms, because I don't eat fast food much which must also explain why my body fat % is less than half then all the folks in this video.

The salesmen is hilarious "they use a paper towel use it to open the existing door and then throw it on the floor as they exit","you use your forearm, keeping your forearm germ free." hey moron, you touch any surface it has germs, and almost nobody uses towels and tosses them on the floor when they exit, maybe your dirty fat kids. this is the most sorry piece of crap ever, when i open bathroom doors, i use my elbow, and 99% of the time my shoe, and a 15 cent piece of metal going for $200, HA HA!

they are in Hooters LOL.....that shit is gonna break somebody's arm an they are gonna be sued ....Puff

What is your immune system for? Your immune system memorizes germs that come in. So the more germs you know the more percentage you're going to stay healthy. Stop trying to avoid germs that can't be avoidable, and stop making crap to open crap.

YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!

You just washed your goddamn hands, I think TWO SECOND CONTACT with a door handle isn't gonna give you swine flu or whatever, you goddamn pussies!

God, America's going down the shitter. Everybody's so uptight over such petty shit. And I thought the paper towel method was stupid! A $250 door handle that makes you look like a 'tard is MUCH stupider.

maybe the handle should go downwards? you can slam someone's face on that thing and it would do some huge damage
