World Dryer

In 1993, Japanese automaker Mitsubishi created a whole new dynamic for commercial hand dryers, offering a hand-dip style of drying that blows water away from your hands rather than completely evaporating it. The Dyson Airblade, released in 2006, took this basic concept even further, though the similarities between the two brands have led to some close competition. (Fun fact: the Airblade’s air isn’t actually Stainless Steel Hand Dryer heated.)
