    I’m pushing 40 and I’ve only ever seen these in movies. I feel like they haven’t been in use since the 60s.

      I did see them around as a child millenial. Not totally uncommon in older and public buildings until early 2000’s. The airblade dryers seemed to come in right as the last of these were phased out.

      I’m a millennial that has seen them in Sweden, but probably at least for not a decade or more by now.

          I’m 30, and I’ve seen them twice in my life in-person. However, I believe that they were in very old buildings. Can’t remember exactly where, though, since they were both over ten years ago.

            30s checking in, local gas station had one up until 10 or 15 years ago. I moved, haven’t been back since to check if it’s still there 🤷‍♂️
