SURVEY SAYS: I haven't checked in on this issue in quite some time, and we're due for an update: between normal air driers, paper towels, and the Dyson air blade, what's your preferred washroom hand-drying method?
I love the air blade, but my 5 year old is straight up terrified of the sound. Normal air driers -- less effective, but less likely to cause nightmares.
How about waving your hands in front of the paper towel dispenser for 2 1/2 minutes trying to get it to activate, then deciding your hands are dry enough?
Paper towels, ever since I watched an episode of MythBusters where they checked people's hands and the surrounding area after drying with towels and drying with air dryers. WAY more germs with air dryers.
YES. The Dyson air blade is clever and all, but sometimes you just need the RAW DRYING POWER that comes from mounting an actual jet engine on the wall of the bathroom.
I'm a sucker for the air blade, because it makes drying your hands fun!

ReplyDeletePaper towels. I mean, c'mon.
ReplyDeleteMy jeans. Is this a trick question?
ReplyDeletePaper towels! Can't stand normal air driers.

ReplyDeleteDyson. The end. Plus, every time I use one, I can pretend I'm doing the Flash Gordon tree stump monster challenge.

ReplyDeleteThe Dyson air blade is fun, though.
Paper towels all the way, but traditional dryers over Dyson, and all three over those rollers that have actual towels.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that but now that's ALL I'll be doing.
ReplyDeleteI like the air dryers like they have at IKEA that are so strong they push your skin back from the bones. I find that grotesquely fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you're Madonna, you have to go traditional air dryer with a swivel, don't you?
Young'un! It's the Bocca della Verità from Roman Holiday!

ReplyDeleteXLERATOR if it has to be a dryer. I am a bit of a sucker for the real towels at my local fancy bar.
