Hand dryer that is greener and cleaner
Ever debated within your green conscience whether to use paper towels or the hand dryer? Now you have a much friendlier option.
Drying hands in a public restroom invariably poses a minor environmental dilemma. Paper towels equal chopped-down trees, hand dryers use a lot of juice, and wiping hands on pants is just plain antisocial.Comments

Oh the problems we try to deal with! This is labelled greener and cleaner? A bit like labelling a sword more pro-life (not in the hijacked meaning of the word) than a nuclear bomb, isn't it? It's still energy and it's still a bogus apparatus that isn't necessary and costs a lot of material and energy to produce and, eventually, to get rid of again. Feel bad about using paper or another type of blower? Well, it's not a choice between these two or three. There is another choice! Don't use.... More
you can let them air dry! so many public restrooms don't have doors any more. if there are doors, you are going to grasp the same handle some unsanitary person who doesn't wash is? not I! i will take the paper towel and use it, then dispose of the towel elsewhere. carry a little hand towel in your pocket! you are just wiping of clean water, after all! it might come in handy somewhere else sometime, too!

whole foods boulder has both the hand dryer above mentioned and a foot door pull that you use to open the door = cleans hands + door open :)
Eeew...what about the folks who "pretend" to wash their hands and then stick them into this unit. I then have to walk up behind them and put my hands into it, trying not to touch the edges???....no thanks...i'd like to keep the regular type where your hands are open and free from touching any gross stuff.
We have them here. I love them.
These may be great looking, but they leave a few things to be desired.
#1 - nobody can afford them. They're $1400 a unit. And most likely require rewiring as they require grounding that most air units don't. (Not a big deal with new construction, but major pain for replacing existing units.)
#2 - if it's in an area of high usage, you get a mess on the floor. They blow the water so fast it leaves a puddle under the unit - just check the Minneapolis Airport and Union Station in.... More
These terrible machines of mayhem are in the bathrooms at Union Station in Toronto. My cousin had the unfortunate urge to place his "member" into the opening (he said he had to work it in a little, as the width is not that wide), to see "what it would feel like" (whatever that means). The machine was turned on and started blowing air on his junk with astonishing 400mph (643.7 km/h) ferocity.
My cousin was never the same again.
We call him Susan now.
I definitely prefer an air hand dryer, so any way to make it more environmentally friendly and quicker at the same time is great. Looks like several people here have used them....anyone have a story about the experience (how cold is the air? does it hurt to have the air blowing that quickly across your hand?) to the person at Union Station that used them - it doesn't get your hands completely dry?
actually its been available in america since october 2008
Used it in London and in Rome FCO airport, it's really efficient and scary at the same time. Youu can see your own skin wrinkling because of the air...!
I've used it. It's amazing.
we use em here in chicago
These have been in use at Union Station in Chicago for at least 9 months. Not too bad, but paper is still the best bet if you want your hands completely dry.
