Here we have a Lovair C1, what’s the best dryer that can be found in McDonald’s, other than maybe a TSL C1, however only one has been found in McDonald’s before.
This is the first new-design branch that I’ve ever seen with Lovair, but it appears that this was one of the first new-design branches, as there are a few others differences here. A few include the older toilet signs, a slightly different wall design, an interactive information screen by the counter, Dormakaba automatic doors instead of Geze, and of course, no AirDri crap!
@NCHLTII has suggested that franchise owners are allowed to choose between Lovair and AirDri, however I believe that may only be the case for branches that aren’t new-builds or are having a major refurbishment, because I’ve never seen any refurbished/new branch other than this one that has Lovair. I don’t have any evidence though, so I could be completely wrong.
Just for reference, this branch shut in late-2017 for a major refurbishment and extension, and it reopened in April 2018.
I barely remember there being HK-JA04S’ here before the refurbishment.
Some parts of this toilet have remained from before they refitted it, like the old-logo Dolphin toilet roll dispenser, the old tap and presumably the old sink.
There is a small issue with the drain in this toilet, because when flushing the toilet, the water came about a quarter of the way up the pan, the about two seconds later the toilet gurgled, and the water rapidly drained back down to the normal level. This wasn’t just a one-off, as I flushed the toilet three times, and the same happened each time.
06.08.23: The drainage issue has since been fixed.

The decibel readings are not scientific or 100% accurate, they're simply to give you an idea of how loud the dryer is whilst using it.
