No one washes their hands perfectly (e.g., ready for surgery), so when you dry them there’s still a lot of bacteria present. Dyson dryers aerosolize those particulates, and they do it far more than other dryers.
Think of it this way — they don’t dry your hands, they blow the water off. Where does the water go? All over the bathroom. Dyson dryers disperse fluids up to 3 meters away.

- thomaslord 5y agoTo be fair, other hand dryers only do better on this metric because they don't actually remove the water from your hands.
- rbinv 5y agoRegular hand dryers (hot/dry airflow) literally make the water evaporate off your hands. How is the water not removed?
