Dyson Airblade vs. XLerator

[deacondamo]

Much prefer the XLerator. It dries better than the Air Blade and I don't have to worry about touching it.

The XLerator is pretty boss in that you can get a good look at all the veins and shit in your hands.

Quick XLerator story -

My friends and I were at a bar watching an NCAA tourney game one time. One of my friends gets up to use the bathroom. He returns completely soaked. We are all thinking WTF just happened? He informs us that he was on his way out of the crowded bathroom and he accidentally placed his full beer under the XLerator as he was trying to exit without spilling his beer. Mission failed and beer goes everywhere. He gets soaked, but even worse he soaked some guy waiting in line to use the urinal.

The airblade can't do that.

My buddy works for a company that sells, among other things, cleaning supplies for commercial establishments. He tells me never to use a bathroom dryer; I assume the Dyson is different based on how it contains the airflow, but all other ones re-distribute particles within the bathroom that include, well, piss and shit. Gross.

XLerator looks like it belongs in a car shop. Airblade looks like it's from a spa boutique.

If you can smell it, those particles are already hitting the inside of your nose.

True, but the less the better. Right?

i never even considered a situation like this. what a wildly unfortunate thing to happen.

Unfortunate for him and the other guy. Hilarious for those of us who with him. The moments between seeing him soaking wet and hearing the story were very confusing.

I find it pretty hilarious as well.

I can only recall using the airblade thing once, where lots of places have those xlerator ones now. My hand skin always mushes around which is rather fun to watch.

Yep, and it's warm, which feels good, whereas the airblade is cold, which feels bad.
