I used a dryer like this in Hong Kong--It spoils you

I used one like this in Heathrow. It looks like a towel dispenser but it's really a jet nozzle on the bottom. Great for drying hands and inflating balloons.

I used this in Somerset Mall and 1) it is ergonomically difficult to bend your hands to get them into the top and 2) it is difficult to get your hands into the 3" slot at the top without touching the sides of the dryer (which is always full of germs)

South Carolina's rest areas along route 95 have the best hand dryers. They look like the convensional kind but blast warm air at your hands ate 500 miles an hour and dry you hands in about 10 seconds.

North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida have the best rest areas in the nation. They are spacious, clean, and have real nice picnic areas. Don't even think abour New Jersey, if possible bypass New Jersey all together.

The Dyson hand dryer is the one used at the AMC movie theater bathrooms in Edina MN at Southdale Mall. They are everything this article says they are...fabulous REAL drying action in 10 seconds or less.

you have to stick your hands in there to dry them off?? the thing must get filthy from all those nasty wet hands (i'm sorry if you just ate a meal, but it is true)! Ron, i agree with you that it doesn't look like a good hand dryer to use.

I think I speak for many when I say I really don't care where you used it, I'm just glad that you washed your hands which made it necessary for you to use it. So please enjoy!

I used this dryer at Dolphin Mall in FL and it was the first place where I saw it and it is absolutely true. It is a great dryer. =)

So where does all that germ laden mist go after it leaves your hands? I still prefer a paper towel, from a dispenser that you don't need to touch to receive one. Or maybe your shirt tail . . . at least those are your own germs. Tom

the A380 of hand dryers? oh... it malfunctions and burns the building down?

another incredibly STUPID comparo by gadling...

If they are washing their hands, what germs are you talking about touching on the device? Besides, most things are airborne anyways, also already on your clothes. People are trying to disinfect the world, but in reality they are killing themselves by it because they will have no immunity to things because they don't get in contact with them. Puuuuleeeeez

That ain't nothing. My hand dryer goes 700 mph and and can dry a cat in under 3 seconds.

I used one in Mc Donald's in Darien Ct and they are great

thetruthtroll,
not all the rest stops in New Jersey are dirty, for the most part its the ones around Newark, Perth Amboy, and Camden, the rest of the state is clean, so get your facts straight. And Im fairly sure that not all of South Carolina's, North Carolina's, or Florida's rest stops are clean, because Ive been to some pretty nasty ones there too.

Ive used this, or something very similar to this, and while It dried my hands, a cut on my hand also got infected, probablly from the germs it blows around.

I wonder if it could blow something other than hands? Oh goody goody I'm excited.

You can also use the drier to dry your face by pointing the nozzel up. Just make sure your dog isn't around or else he'll think he's in a car and has his head stuck out a window.
