I suspect that a business sees the following advantages in using them:- 1) Nothing to restock. 2) No mess from disgarded towels. 3) No need to employ someone to clean up the disgarded towels or replenish the towels.
For me though, the major disadvantage of hot air hand dryers is that they don't do the job!!
I must confess to being rather surprised by these findings, although my own experiences of using electric hand dryers has ranged from very good, to bloody useless! However, in the light of this, perhaps I should reconsider my position?
Regardless of efficacy, those Dyson cycloney ones are fucking awesome. Us engineering geeks were making many unnecessary toilet breaks just to use them as soon they were installed.
I'm sure Tonk's reasons are correct. But if an enterprising manufacturer came up with a version which doesn't recirculate "dirty" air - some type of filter maybe? - they would make a killing. Er, maybe that wasn't the best choice of word!
A new "Touch Screen" booking in system has been introduced at the local hospital. It's intended to reduce waiting times, but complaints have surfaced regarding the risk of infections being spread by its use.
I am not keen either on hot air hand dryers.

ReplyDeleteWeird to find you praising Nanny, Ken!
ReplyDeleteCan't think why Nanny is so against hot air dryers, seeing that hot air is the main ingredient of most of Nanny's strictures.

You couldn't make it up!
Shouldn't they really be labelled " party political broadcast"
