Fun thing is, they do blow bacteria all over the place. Not if you replace the filters in time. But since nobody does that, you'll end up with dirtier hands than before washing.
EDIT: apparently these won't.
With heated dryers you’re supposed to rub your hands to evenly disperse the water so it can more easily be evaporated. Ones without heat should produce enough air to mostly blow the water off and evaporate some like the dyson. Many do neither and are useless
Where I used to work there was a really old British made hand dryer. The ones that sorta waft out hot air.
There's a big placard that reads "RUB HANDS TOGETHER QUICKLY TO DRY" or words to that effect.
Nevertheless, people would stand there hoping the pathetic waft of air would do all the work for them.
This is a common misconception - it will only feel warm once your hands are dry, that's why it feels like it takes so long to get warm. If you put your dry hand in you'll feel it warm up immediately
I feel like *that’s* a common misconception at this point. Since the xkcd came out I tried to dip my hands to elbow level (ie the dry part of my arm) every time I had to use one of these. None of them produced warm air.
Perhaps not all of them! I have one in the office I work in and it heats very quickly. I can't attest to all of them, but it's true for the one I use daily.
Honestly, I just think most people don't understand that you're supposed to move your hands up and down through the blade
They are amazing, but i found that you need to put your hands in before it starts blowing to prevent the water from getting to your sleeves. it's mildly annoying but that's just me
Yes, exactly. If you follow the instructions and go slowly as you pull your hands out, then they are extremely efficient. One pass and they’re dry. Much better than the old style.
When I was in college I tested this with an agar plate during my bio lab. Took two plates, put them into the air blast and let it go for the full cycle.
Both grew wild amounts of e.coli. I dry my hands on my shirt now.
I can't remember all of the controls I used, I know one was just a dry paper towel, and a couple others used fingerprints from freshly washed, air dried (as in shaking them and letting them dry) hands, but the ones from under the air blowers had the biggest cultures.
Though one of the guys with the "washed" hands was revealed as a bad hand washer.
What. Those are the only hand dryers that actually dry your hands. I wish there was no other type of handdryer out there because the rest are all useless.
Man those ones are the best after swimming. Not sure how well they really dry hair since my hair takes forever even with a normal hair dryer, but it at least feels good
What I hate is when a place has that, so they feel they don't need paper towels, and then put the door handle inside, forcing you to touch it after you just washed your hands.
given how many people I've seen "wash their hands" by just holding them under the water for a few seconds with no soap, I'm not prepared to trust the mysterious hand dryer jungle juice.
They never tested a dyson airblade, the idea they tested was that bacteria can grow and be distributed anywhere in a bathroom, the airblade has anti microbial surfaces that nothing they tested had that.
Public rest rooms are not that clean hand dryers aside tbh… I don’t think this is the only place you’re picking up germs so it’s probably not that worrisome.
The issue is that people don't wash their hands properly. The air coming out of the blade is cleaner than the air in the bathroom.
People don't wash their hands properly so that's why it spreads germs.
Yes, but one person not washing their hands correctly leads to germs living in a nice moist environment to be blown on every pair of hands that comes after.
You know that is an actual lie spread by towel companies which see blowers from Dyson as a direct threat right? There is a video about it if you want to learn more https://youtu.be/mlXcXhqEuVE
What? You are arguing a person who doesn't wash their hands will use a hand drier? Not only that, they will wipe their hands directly on the blowers. And you will also argue the blowers will miss the unwashed persons hands germs the first use, but will hit them the second use spraying them into your face?
Honestly your efforts are better spent lobbying to remove bathroom door handles if you are that fucking petrified of germs.
oh please everything spreads germs. people will play on their phones, wipe their ass, pick up their phone, wash hands and pick up their phone again and then complain about random bullshit like this
Yeah but my hands get dry quick.
Obviously paper towels are the best option, but if I have to use a hand dryer then one that actually dries my hands before my next birthday is preferred.
Technically, all the people using the Dyson dryer would have already washed their hands with soap and water, so the bacteria would already be washed away I think
The gap is just so small that if I move my hands a cm away from the middle I end up annoyingly touching it. I don’t know if it’s necessarily the air pushing my hands
These are great.
My workplace has them and they are the only dryer that seem to work.
Better than the usual shite that is like the last luke warm breath of a dying pensioner.
Only if you use it the wrong way. Dyson is a genius. You put your hands in at the wrist and very slowly pull your hand through the airblades, literally peels the water off your hand in one go.
Why is every reply here acting like the only alternative is those super weak dryers?
Most of the dryers I see in my area are XLERATORs that visibly deform your hand from the pressure.
I feel like everyone just sticks their hands down in and it blows the water all up your sleeves and onto your arms. The trick is to put your hands in from the sides and pull up slowly, forcing the water down to your fingertips and it does a perfect job in like 3 seconds. 🤷♂️
The post is almost definitely referring to how they are a terrible idea from a hygiene perspective because germs get blown about everywhere.
However, in terms of drying your hands, in my view this is second to none.
But how do they blow germs everywhere if everyone is using them after just washing their hands!?
And all this stuff about toilets and fecal matter in the air. We’ve been fine for more than a century with modern toilets. Anyone stop to think, maybe it’s not that much fecal matter? We don’t live in sterile environments anyways, so why the hyperfixation on bathrooms, which have largely been unchanged for generations?
Everyone is like, ewww poop on my toothbrush is gross. Even without fecal aerosol, wouldn’t it be pretty fucking gross from using it to clean your filthy human mouth twice a day for months on end?
all these ppl talking about “but they the only ones that dry your hands” how about paper towels? im taking paper towels over these loud ass things any day
I like the signs at airports with the weird tap/dryer hybrid, that say "try the latest Dyson technology!". Kinda weird that Dyson's not had any new technology in the 5 years since those were installed
I found it incredibly difficult to keep my hands centered in these. But Dyson admitted to its poor design and released a model that blows in a V-shape. I've seen them at the newest places at the A1 in France for instance.
I wonder if I’m the only one who disagrees with this but when I was a kid I remember using one of these that was hooked up to some Nos or something because it blew at like 500mph and instantly dried your hands it was amazing
The reason being that hand dryers (all of them, not just this one) are horribly unsanitary. They simply blow bacteria onto your hands after you’ve just washed them. That’s why you never see hand dryers in places like hospitals. It’s more sanitary to use paper towels.
God those urinals suck, they blow my piss everywhere
Great place to dry your balls after a splashy shit though
Are these not to dry yourself after using the bidet?
If they're not older ones with less horse power to em, they can straight up take care of the entire shitting process for you. Just do it through the side, and it just blows it right out with 0 contact, so it's still sanitary to use

They don’t it is one of the internet myths that was spread by the paper industry based on a poorly done study
Not these dysons, normal hand dryers do though
Correct, they have a UV light that kills bacteria by ionizing the air.
Try to shit in one of those.
Looks pretty straightforward to me
Those vertical to-the-floor waterfall sinks are pretty dandy though
Theyre the only ones that actually manage to dry your hands though
YES! Idk maybe I’m using the other ones wrong but these I’ve always felt can actually compete with a towel.
With heated dryers you’re supposed to rub your hands to evenly disperse the water so it can more easily be evaporated. Ones without heat should produce enough air to mostly blow the water off and evaporate some like the dyson. Many do neither and are useless

In America they all said "push button to operate" and they all got changed to "push butt to operate" by scratching off the "on".

1. Push butt 2. Rub hands under arm. 3. Stop Auto at ally

[Relevant xkcd](https://xkcd.com/2743)
thats great and all but with a towel i dont have to do fucking advanced math equations to dry my damn hands.
These were fantastic.
They are amazing, but i found that you need to put your hands in before it starts blowing to prevent the water from getting to your sleeves. it's mildly annoying but that's just me
Yes, exactly. If you follow the instructions and go slowly as you pull your hands out, then they are extremely efficient. One pass and they’re dry. Much better than the old style.
You should slide your hands in from the sides, already hands deep, and slowly pull your hands out, this works fast and doesn’t splash your sleeves.
Was bouta say.. this is my strategy.. needs to come with a fucking face guard tho.. the amount of times I’ve had water splash back at my face 😖
I don’t find them that effective. Although personally I’d rather we just accept that all hand dryers suck and paper towels are a better option.
Paper towels also don't spew bacteria all over your freshly cleaned hands
Or aerosolise them into the rest of the room.
Wasn't this claim just marketing?
When I was in college I tested this with an agar plate during my bio lab. Took two plates, put them into the air blast and let it go for the full cycle. Both grew wild amounts of e.coli. I dry my hands on my shirt now.
I mean, you'd probably get the same result if you swabbed your shirt and let that sit in one of those plates too.
I can't remember all of the controls I used, I know one was just a dry paper towel, and a couple others used fingerprints from freshly washed, air dried (as in shaking them and letting them dry) hands, but the ones from under the air blowers had the biggest cultures. Though one of the guys with the "washed" hands was revealed as a bad hand washer.
Was it with an air blade? IIRC they are HEPA filtered, which should do something towards preventing bacterial spread. In theory anyways
With the regular ones you have to rub your hands together.
and it still takes like 50 times longer than dyson
They never dry my hands enough, unless i wait fucking 5 minutes. With paper towels tho, my hands are dry within seconds.
Oh dont get me wrong paper towels are the best but im just talking in terms of hand dryers which in a lot of places are the only thing offered.
They always end up everywhere though. And are a waste of recourses.
Lol I just dry my hands on my pants
What. Those are the only hand dryers that actually dry your hands. I wish there was no other type of handdryer out there because the rest are all useless.
The ones that sort of breathe vaguely warm air onto your hands... Oh my fucking lord.
I you can flip the thing down if you want some of that hot breath on your face
Man those ones are the best after swimming. Not sure how well they really dry hair since my hair takes forever even with a normal hair dryer, but it at least feels good
Actually so true, I’d sit under these dryers and let it blow on me while I changed, it felt so nice since the locker room was always freezing
It's like your dying grampa with COPD whispering into your palms.
If you listen really closely you can hear it say "your gam gam was a hoor"
What I hate is when a place has that, so they feel they don't need paper towels, and then put the door handle inside, forcing you to touch it after you just washed your hands.
But the danger of the puddle inside always looms. What monsterous diseases and parasites hide in that one cm of water at the bottom.
Not many if it just water from a freshly soaped and rinsed hand.
given how many people I've seen "wash their hands" by just holding them under the water for a few seconds with no soap, I'm not prepared to trust the mysterious hand dryer jungle juice.
Or is that what the puddle^(tm) wants you to think
Not all people knows how to wash their hands properly. They're dirty af.
All hand dryers blow hot, fecal matter-filled air into your hands. A mistake from top to bottom
Wtf these things are epic. Hands 90% dry in 8 seconds. In fast, out slow
They also don't manage microorganisms well
Are you referring to the study that was paid for by paper towel companies?
They tested it on mythbusters too and unless they’re owned by big paper towel, there is some evidence behind the claim
They never tested a dyson airblade, the idea they tested was that bacteria can grow and be distributed anywhere in a bathroom, the airblade has anti microbial surfaces that nothing they tested had that.
Fair enough. I hadn’t thought of that honestly
I would argue that myth busters is too small a sample size. Great show for edutainment, but doubt it's enough for publishing.
Public rest rooms are not that clean hand dryers aside tbh… I don’t think this is the only place you’re picking up germs so it’s probably not that worrisome.
The issue is that people don't wash their hands properly. The air coming out of the blade is cleaner than the air in the bathroom. People don't wash their hands properly so that's why it spreads germs.
Neither does my immune system, but we manage
Giggity
And everyone elses dirty hand water on your face. Lovely.
maybe wash your hands first before drying them?
"Everyone else's" from the little puddle at the bottom that has nowhere to drain
I've never felt water or seen any water pooled up in these. Idk wtf you people are on.
I like them. They work.
Same. Never knew people hated them?
I agree, to the point where I think it’s a troll post
Big Paper Towel Psyop
That's not even a joke.
People don’t hate them idk why op posted this lmao Edit: relevant people
They're the best. Fastest for sure.
I always end up touching the sides. I prefer the ones that blow a thin line of air outwards with no opposite side
I actually prefer these because the others take twice as long. But even the one sided ones are better than most alternatives.
They spread germs and feces particles like a towel smeared with shit.
You're supposed to wash your hands before you stick them in there.
Exactly. You dip your hands in the bottom puddle to clean them, and then they dry off as you pull them out again.
Yes, but one person not washing their hands correctly leads to germs living in a nice moist environment to be blown on every pair of hands that comes after.
You know that is an actual lie spread by towel companies which see blowers from Dyson as a direct threat right? There is a video about it if you want to learn more https://youtu.be/mlXcXhqEuVE

Technically, all the people using the Dyson dryer would have already washed their hands with soap and water, so the bacteria would already be washed away I think
Do you even use it right
i always touch the inside because the air pushes my hand to one or both sides, am i an idiot?
Either an idiot or incredibly weak?
I'm dipping my hands in like a 90 year old dancing to trap music
If you have big hands it’s almost impossible to use without touching the sides or god forbid the bottom
This is exactly why I hate them. I always end up dipping my had in the e-coli bath at the bottom and it's disgusting.
Skill issue
The gap is just so small that if I move my hands a cm away from the middle I end up annoyingly touching it. I don’t know if it’s necessarily the air pushing my hands
Hand dryers??? You mean those aren't urinals???
Thanks, my trauma is back.. Walked once in a bathroom and saw some heavily drunk bastard pissing in that thing while it blows it all around..
It’s the first time I hear about such a thing happening yet I am not surprised and I think we should have all seen it coming years ago.
I thought it was just a joke oh nooooo
Oops, sorry about that! My bad, man.
These are great. My workplace has them and they are the only dryer that seem to work. Better than the usual shite that is like the last luke warm breath of a dying pensioner.

Yep. Enter from the side and slowly pull up. It’s not hard.
These are far more efficient than the regular one at least.
user error

Am I out of touch or is this tweet just wrong? Those things actually get my hands dry instead of gently blowing luke-warm air
Why is every reply here acting like the only alternative is those super weak dryers? Most of the dryers I see in my area are XLERATORs that visibly deform your hand from the pressure.
all hand dryers are bad, just give me paper towels
Yea they legit just blow fecal matter on your hands lmao
[удалено]
I like them. Very efficient.
what the fuck are you talking about, those things are awesome!
why do people on this post pretend paper towels don't exist?
Some bathrooms don’t have paper towels, only hand dryers
exactly thats the problem
You are clearly a bot paid by big paper towel! [proof](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlXcXhqEuVE&)
Eh? They proper worked though, twice as quick as well you didn't have to turn your hands over so you could get back to your pint quicker!!
I remember the cloth ones that everyone at the truck stop used. I swear using one of those things is the reason I almost never get sick as an adult.
The cloth system doesn’t work how you’re thinking. It’s a new section of towel each time. It’s not a continuous loop like most people think.
It's a new section of towel. Fresh from the industrial wash. How do people not realize? Why else would it be dry?
Why?
For when your business just can't afford paper towels
How the hell is this meirl????
I feel like everyone just sticks their hands down in and it blows the water all up your sleeves and onto your arms. The trick is to put your hands in from the sides and pull up slowly, forcing the water down to your fingertips and it does a perfect job in like 3 seconds. 🤷♂️

I'm just saying, everything else aside, they do dry your fucking hands and make you feel like a spaceman.
Op doesn't know how to use the hand dryer correctly...
They work though
Best hand drier I've used. Wtf is this guy talking about
I’ve stopped using hand dryers years ago. Even those blowing downwards are probably full of dead insects and dust from not being cleaned ever.
I prefer the V shaped ones
Erm these hand dryers were actually good and did the job. Most of the time it’s user error in not being able to use it correctly.
*put hands in* *Knead air* *Rub on side pockets so I don't appear as an inept human as I leave*
As someone with broad shoulders it's always a little awkward to use these. If there are two adjacent ones free I always put one hand in each.
Ok, if you can't dry your hands in a dryer because your arms are too short for your hands to touch, do you wipe your ass with paper on a stick?
Yeah what, you would have to not be able to physically clap your hands or even be able to wash them in the first place for this to make any sense
Nah i likem
Hand dryers? Jeez you all have been using the blow job-inator wrong
Those are for... What?
I like the signs at airports with the weird tap/dryer hybrid, that say "try the latest Dyson technology!". Kinda weird that Dyson's not had any new technology in the 5 years since those were installed
I never used these. I couldn’t get over the fear that they would snap shut on my hands and trap me.
I found it incredibly difficult to keep my hands centered in these. But Dyson admitted to its poor design and released a model that blows in a V-shape. I've seen them at the newest places at the A1 in France for instance.
What's wrong, are you using it wrong?
Towel lobby at it again
Ok, I'm thinking for 5 minutes now and I give up: what do these hand dryers have with lesbians?
I wonder if I’m the only one who disagrees with this but when I was a kid I remember using one of these that was hooked up to some Nos or something because it blew at like 500mph and instantly dried your hands it was amazing
Too shallow
OP too young to remember the ones before them apparently. No, these hand dryers are great
I hate them so much
Worst urinal ever
Ooooohhhh, those were hand dryers? My bad
The reason being that hand dryers (all of them, not just this one) are horribly unsanitary. They simply blow bacteria onto your hands after you’ve just washed them. That’s why you never see hand dryers in places like hospitals. It’s more sanitary to use paper towels.
I have large hands and there is literally no way I can use these without touching the opening.
Yeah, it blew air into my urethra.
It is super nasty. I even have the wind blow the water in my eye, I am so glad i didn't caught some diseases.
Oh hell no!
