The Air Blade really doesn't fuck around
I think I’m really good at drying my hands.
Sound stupid? Well, it’s true, okay?
I see other people spend a bunch of time at hand dryers and, poor saps, their hands are still not dry. They have to wipe their wet hands on their jeans. (They might also be just leaving too soon because they’ve noticed me waiting, watching their hand-drying with a pad and pen.) Anyway, I think I’m pretty good. It’s all about the quick, light rubbing of hands together.
Anyway, for a while I’ve been partial to the XLerator hand dryer. It’s pretty impressive. It’s bizarrely loud and forceful. If you’ve ever used one, you know that this hand dryer doesn’t fuck around. Whenever I come back to the table at a restaurant where they have these things, I always tell people, “Hey, they got an XLerator in there.” (That’s usually met by uncomfortable silence.)
Well, folks, the XLerator has met its match. Have you seen these dryers where you stick your hands inside and slowly bring them out? There’re jets of air that remove the water off your hands when you take them out. What. The. Hell. This is, like, the future of public bathroom technology. This is the Obama of hand-dryers. (Yes, that’s right. That made absolutely no sense.) Have you seen these? I think there’s a few different companies making these things. In any case, when I stick my hands into these things, I feel like I’m sticking my hands into the future of public bathrooms.
