The Mitsubishi Jet Towel

One of the cool things you occasionally see in Taiwan, is the Mitsubishi Jet Towel.

It’s a air hand dryer that actually works. You shove your hands into a trough and high pressure air jets push the water right off them. It’s rather like the way they simulate high-G acceleration in movies, where they air jet the actors’ cheeks.

Anyway, at last they’re available in the USA. My I recommend to any company that has those worthless air blowers to replace them with these jet towels.

I’ve never understood how anyone could think that the air blowers are viable. They take 30-40 seconds, if you’re lucky, to dry your hands. There’s usually one, maybe two in a restroom, which may have 5 or 6 sinks. Do the math, there’s going to be people who skip washing because they know they can’t dry their hands.
