Maybe I’ve got small hands, but I’ve never had problems with them. I slightly cup my hands. At least it feels like they get dryer faster that way.

Haven’t these been shown to be literally the proverbial shit hitting the fan in terms of spreading bacterial matter everywhere?

Yes they literally pull in particles from the bathroom air and blow them directly on your hands.

Plus a good chunk of people only wash hands for show: the water runs for 1 sec it barely touches their fingertips, then go on to these dryers and whatever is on their fingers flies out everywhere.

Maybe it was just me but I never had issues with the u shaped dryers. Although I normally put my hands in by the side, wrists above, kept them flat, and drew out slowly. Dry hands every time.
Other dryers just end up pushing water to the dry side of your hand.

That came way before the hair dryer, no?

They released that original Airblade hand drying 18 years ago in 2006 way before the hair dryer.
11 years ago In 2013 they released the Airblade V which doesn’t do the vertical dip thing.

So anyways, I see the old one 99 times more often than the new one.
