Perhaps there is a different mechanism heating the air - they definitely "warm up" during longer use
Alternatively website says the air is travelling at 400mph, or 178 m/s, which is more than the average speed difference of air molecules of 20 degrees C versus 100 degrees C. So the air could feel warm, alternatively it might well heat the unit up as it passes obstructions. Either way, that 1.6kW is ending up someplace.

A faster dry time and no energy-hungry heating element means the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer costs up to 80% less to run than warm air hand dryers and up to 97% less than paper towels.

I am curious as to how the lable on the front of them proclaims that they are the "Most Hygenic" hand driers. Given that there is more chance of touching the sides of the drier and the way water drips of your hands into the bottom of the device I would have thought that they were less hygenic than old style hand driers

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostYeah, they are pretty effective, it must be cheaper to blow air than to heat it too. Might be improved with a buzzer that goes off if you touch the sides, or an electric shock.
