hand dryers

Bathroom air jets

Hand dryers are electric devices mounted in public restrooms that blow warm or high-velocity air to dry hands after washing.

They replaced paper towels in many facilities for environmental and cost reasons.

The high-speed models can be startlingly loud: The hand dryer was so powerful it made my skin ripple.
