Don't you hate it when
you've visited a restroom in a hotel or a cinema, an
airport or a train station, you've washed your hands and find the
only way to dry them is to stand for about five minutes waving them
around in a warm slow air flow? I usually give up, flap them around a
bit and let them dry naturally.
Some of the latest hand
dryers actually work. They are more powerful and can really dry your
hands quickly. But the crème de la crème must be the Dyson Air Blade, where you slide each hand down into a pocket and pull it out
dry about 12 seconds later.
I wish I could remember
where I first came across one of these airblade hand dryers. I'd
definitely be going back there. I recall that it was one of those
really pristine bathrooms that actually smelt clean. I was a bit wary
of the hand dryer at first, but I watched someone else go first and
then it was my turn and I was just amazed to have clean and dry hands
in an instant. Dyson describes the process as being like a windscreen
wiper scraping water off your hands. Apparently these dryers also use
a lot less energy than the warm air dryers, so they are better for
the environment too.
Dyson has always been
famous for a revolutionary type of vacuum cleaner and I hadn't
realised the company had diversified into Dyson hand dryers, but now
that I know, I'm glad they did.

I got to try one once. It was great! I knew what it was because I saw one on TV... not sure if it was an infomercial or a show about engineering or what.
I would love to try one. I hate those hand dryers.
I went to a fancy hotel once and they had individual hand towels to dry your hands. I would hate to do their laundry.
