How long does it take to dry your hands with a hot air dryer?
Time trial 1, cold wet day outside: 67 seconds.
After years of going to public toilets and thinking how useless those hot air hand dryers are, I decided to stand there and see how long it would actually take to get my hands completely dry even when rubbing vigorously as the instructions say to do. The results are above. Forget it - I have more important things to do than stand and wait for my hands to dry.
Guess I will go back to my usual technique:
put hands under dryer. Dryer will start automatically.
rub hands vigorously under hot air stream.
Dry hands on pants, and leave.
